The ARIES® GBS Assay detects Streptococcus agalactiae, also known as Group B Streptococcus (or GBS), from Lim broth-enriched vaginal-rectal specimen swabs obtained from pregnant women using the ARIES® System.
Infection with GBS is one of the most important infectious causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality, and can cause meningitis, pneumonia, and septicemia in newborns and their mothers. About 12–27% of pregnant women harbor GBS in their rectum or vagina.1 Most women colonized with GBS do not have symptoms; however, GBS can be transmitted to the newborn during delivery. In the US, GBS is the leading cause of meningitis and sepsis in a newborn’s first week of life.2
The ARIES® GBS Assay Offers:
Robust Performance: Integrated sample processing and PCR deliver sensitive results that enable clinicians to implement appropriate treatment strategies in a clinically actionable timeframe.
Ease of Use: By using the sample-to-answer ARIES® workflow, detecting antepartum GBS colonization in pregnant women is accessible to labs of all sizes.
Full Integration: The ARIES® GBS Assay enables labs to automate all aspects of testing—from sample preparation through analysis.
Reduced User Error: Internal barcode scanning matches samples to cassettes, enabling position independent results no matter where each cassette is placed. Additionally, reduce data input errors with electronic ordering through bidirectional laboratory information system (LIS) connectivity.
Performance of the ARIES® GBS Assay
The performance of the ARIES® GBS Assay was evaluated using excess leftover de-identified Lim broth cultures from women in their 35th–37th week of pregnancy,
Special Requirements: Medical equipment often has specific needs, such as temperature control or shock absorption. For example, certain medications must remain at a specific temperature throughout the supply chain. This may require insulated containers, refrigerated vehicles, and specialized warehousing.
Custom Packaging: Custom packaging solutions are essential for medical equipment. A professional crating company can provide protective packaging tailored to the unique requirements of each product. This can include foam packaging die-cut to the exact shape needed for the product.
Reusable Packaging: For regular shipments, reusable packaging can be a cost-effective and environmentally friendly option. These crates can be assembled and disassembled without tools and can be fully customized.
International Shipping: When shipping internationally, it's important to be aware of customs regulations. Failure to comply can result in delays, returns, or fines. Professional shipping companies can help obtain the necessary permits and documentation.
Insurance and Tracking: Given the high cost and critical nature of medical equipment, insurance is essential. Tracking can also provide peace of mind and help prevent loss.
