The Company has chosen Integrated Sciences as its exclusive distributor in Australia, United Laboratories in the Philippines and IDS Medical Systems/Malaysia in Malaysia and IDS Medical Systems/Singapore in Singapore.
“These new associations, together with our existing distribution partners, mean that some three billion people, or half the world’s population, will now have access to the Presage ST2 Assay,” notes James Snider, President of Critical Diagnostics. “And interest from distributors around the world continues to pour in.”

About ST2
Soluble ST2 has now been published in more than 100 peer-reviewed articles and scientific posters studying more than 35,000 patients. These clinical studies have demonstrated that high levels of soluble ST2 are predictive of adverse patient outcomes and death in a broad spectrum of cardiovascular disease. They have further shown that the prognostic information from soluble ST2 is independent and provides added information to cardiac biomarkers commonly used today, including the natriuretic peptides, BNP and NT-proBNP.

Critical Diagnostics (www.criticaldiagnostics.com) develops novel biomarkers to help physicians optimize patient care in cardiovascular diseases, while containing healthcare costs. The Presage ST2 Assay has been CE Marked and cleared by the US FDA for use in risk stratification with chronic heart failure patients.
