Affinimark Receives Breakthrough Designation from FDA for Diagnostic in the Detection of Cerebral Spinal Fluid Leaks in Patients

Leave a comment


News Image


GUILFORD, Conn. (PRWEB)

Affinimark Technologies, Inc. ( Affinimark), a development-stage diagnostics company dedicated to improving timely diagnosis and treatment for patients, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Breakthrough Designation for its review of Affinimark’s proprietary Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) Test Strip, a revolutionary diagnostic strip intended for real-time detection of cerebral spinal fluid leaks. FDA Breakthrough Designation expedites the Agency’s review of medical devices that can provide for more effective treatment or diagnosis of life-threatening or irreversibly debilitating diseases or conditions.

Affinimark’s CSF test works much like a pregnancy test, yielding a positive or negative result when suspected fluid is tested. The immediate feedback assists the clinician making a diagnosis and helps to determine if any intervention is necessary to address a CSF leak. CSF supports and bathes the brain and central nervous system. Leaks occur when a tear or hole forms in the dura, the membrane that surrounds the brain and spinal cord, allowing fluid to seep out, increasing the risk of infection.

“The FDA’s granting of Breakthrough Designation for our CSF Test Strip underscores the urgent need for a diagnostic tool that provides on-the-spot, immediate results upon suspicion of a CSF leak in patients,” said Ellie Tandler, President and Chief Executive Officer at Affinimark. “CSF leaks increase the risk of meningitis and other neurological complications, so timely diagnosis and urgent and effective repair of the defect are essential. We appreciate the review and decision by the FDA and plan to work closely with the Agency to commercialize our CSF Test Strip by early 2021.”

Among the benefits of FDA Breakthrough Designation are a commitment from the FDA for more rapid review timelines, ongoing discussion and submission review, and access to FDA senior management to develop a plan that is as least burdensome as possible and allows for some measure of flexibility and adjustment. The FDA’s decision was based on recognition of Affinimark’s CFS Test Strip as a timely diagnostic tool that can aid in the diagnosis of CSF leakages more quickly than other available in vitro diagnostic (IVD) devices with the same or similar intended use.

“Our device has completed proof-of-concept and prototyping. We are raising a Series C round of financing to fund the clinical trial and analytical bench testing of the strip over the next 18 months for a de novo 510(k) submission to the FDA by Q1 2021,” added Tandler.

Current technologies for detecting CSF fluid leaks, such as imaging and scans, are time-consuming, expensive and inconvenient for the patient. A beta-2 transferrin lab test can detect CSF; however, the test requires a relatively large volume sample (as compared with Affinimark’s test), can be cumbersome to run and can produce inaccurate results when blood is present in the sample. Its performance data have not been reviewed by the FDA.

About Affinimark Technologies, Inc.:

Affinimark Technologies, Inc., is a privately held diagnostics company located in Guilford, CT. Its primary investors include CT Innovations and Launch Capital, as well as individual founders.

How To Get Cheep Teen Car Insurance

Leave a comment


News Image

“Teens are considered high-risk, thus making them really costly to insure. However, there are some ways to lower the premiums”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com has released a new blog post that informs readers about how to save money on teen car insurance.

Being a teen automatically places a driver in the high-risk category. Auto insurance companies use several arguments related to age, lack of experience and teen-specific behavior. Plus, statistics show that they are right: teens are riskier drivers. However, there are ways to lower car insurance costs for teens. Find out how and get free quotes at http://cheapquotesautoinsurance.com/how-to-make-teen-car-insurance-cheaper/


  • Study hard and reap valuable discounts. Teens that have really good grades are regarded as more responsible. Companies also assume that they spend more time preparing for courses, rather than venturing outside and exposing themselves to accidents. The good-student discount can reduce insurance costs by 5%-15%. Some companies offer discounts as high as 35%. This will seriously offset insurance costs.

  • Graduate approved defensive driving courses. Teens who graduated defensive driving courses are also rewarded with cheaper premiums. These courses will improve the driver’s skills and knowledge. They will also offset some license points, thus avoiding further price increases. Before enrolling in a class, make sure that the insurer approves it. It is best to ask if the insurer offers defensive driving programs. It is in their best interest to keep a pool of safe drivers as clients.

  • Buy a safe car. Car’s make, model and details will influence the overall costs. It is recommended to let the teen drive a safe, medium-size car. They come equipped with all sorts of devices and systems that lower the accident risk. Avoid buying deluxe or sports cars. The combo teen-car will make the insurance extremely expensive.

  • Sign a driving contract and agree to respect certain driving habits. Teens can lower insurance costs if they sign a contract where several conditions are stipulated. For example, the teen agrees to always wear a seatbelt, to close all mobile devices while driving, avoid DUI and avoid coming to dorm rooms very late. Violating those conditions will make the insurer automatically deny any claim.

Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers. In this way, clients have access to offers from multiple carriers all in one place: this website.

  • What steps should a board take when it becomes aware of such a situation?

The second panel goes to the heart of crisis management: “What’s a Board to Do (and Not Do) in an Existential Crisis” and examines these questions:

  • What should a board do in these circumstances?

  • What should it not do?

  • To whom is the board’s duty owed when a crisis threatens the solvency of the corporation?

Leave a comment


LiveCare - Better Home Healthcare Administration and Verification

LiveCare – Transformative Technology for the Developmental Disabilities Community

“We are excited to partner with OnSeen to implement LiveCare for the Developmental Disabilities Community so we can improve the efficiency of our in-residence processes, lower our administrative costs, and improve the service delivery and experience for our Consumers.” Rich Johnson, CEO, ViaQuest


COLUMBUS, Ohio (PRWEB)

OnSeen, Inc. announced today that it is unveiling its LiveCare Technology Solution to Ohio Developmental Disabilities Providers at the 2019 OPRA Fall Conference. LiveCare is a transformative technology solution for DD Service Providers that seamlessly connects Consumers, In-Home Caregivers, Provider Supervisors and Managers, and Guardians through an affordable, easy-to-use, mobile-web platform. In doing so, LiveCare: (1) increases the efficiency and reduces the cost of in-home Caregiver admin tasks; (2) increases the mobility of DD Consumers to attend outside appointments and activities; and (3) provides electronic visit verification (“EVV”) of Caregivers at the Consumer’s residence. LiveCare supports the collective missions of OPRA, the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities and the Ohio DD Community by helping DD Providers improve service delivery so that individuals with developmental disabilities can lead increasingly independent, productive, and integrated lives.

LiveCare for the Ohio DD community is comprised of 3 modules: (1) Consumer Financial Account Management Module; (2) Consumer Transportation Management Module; and (3) Caregiver Appointment and Task Management Module. With these three modules, LiveCare provides real-time, 360 degree visibility and control of Consumer financial account management, Consumer transportation, and in-home Caregiver processes. OnSeen partnered with ViaQuest, a leading DD Service and Transportation Provider, to implement LiveCare to manage its in-home Consumer financial account management and Consumer transportation management processes. “Our administrative processes prior to LiveCare were mostly manual and less efficient than we wanted. At the same time, communications with and visibility to our in-residence Caregiver activities were inherently delayed and restricted,” said Rich Johnson, CEO of ViaQuest. “Given our mission to transform the way home care services are delivered, we are excited to partner with OnSeen to implement LiveCare so we can improve the efficiency of our in-residence care processes, lower our administrative costs, and improve the service delivery and experience for our Consumers.”

UAS Industry Leaders Partner to Kick Off FAA National Drone Safety Awareness Week

Leave a comment


News Image

“This type of operation will be coming to cities and towns around the world in the very near future.”


LAS VEGAS (PRWEB)

Leading organizations within the unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) sector are teaming together on Tuesday, October 29 to help kick-off National Drone Safety Awareness Week, a week-long series of events coordinated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the U.S. Department of Transportation designed to help educate the public about drone safety and bring awareness of the many benefits of commercial and public safety drone operations.

The kickoff event, held in coordination with Commercial UAV Expo Americas and hosted by Sundance Media Group, DRONERESPONDERS, the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA), and KSNV NBC 3 News Las Vegas, is based on the theme “Drones are Now” and will feature a drone-based crime scene investigation simulation combined with a news gathering drone flight – with all aircraft operating simultaneously, and safely in common airspace to achieve their specific missions.

“What better way to kick-off the FAA’s National Drone Safety Week than by demonstrating how public safety and commercial drone operations can safely work alongside each other in close proximity,” said Chief Charles Werner (ret.), Director of DRONERESPONDERS. “This type of operation will be coming to cities and towns around the world in the very near future.”

Mickey Osterreicher, General Counsel for the National Press Photographers Association, agrees.

“With the increased use of drones by both public safety agencies and the media, remote pilots will need to understand how to operate these aircraft safely and cooperatively with one another at incident scenes,” says Osterreicher. “This demonstration will mark the start of an evolving conversation, with safety and awareness being the overarching premise.”

The kick-off demonstration, which will be held from 5:30 to 8:30 pm, will feature a night forensic scene aerial capture workflow demonstration by Sundance Media Group, FoxFury and Pix4D highlighting how two different drones and related technology can be used to capture forensic evidence for law enforcement use. Halfway through the aerial collection, a news crew will launch an additional drone simulating a news gathering mission of the incident. Together, three drones will operate together safely in relatively confined airspace as they each accomplish their assigned objectives.

Attendees will be able to watch the dual operations live on site. A video of the demonstration will also be released the following week in conjunction with National Drone Safety Awareness Week.

“This event will demonstrate how drones can be used safely and effectively – even at night – in everyday operations for both public safety and commercial operators,” said Lisa Murray, Group Director for Commercial UAV Expo Americas. “We are thrilled to help unite these incredible partners to showcase the exciting potential of commercial drone technology and drones for good in conjunction with National Drone Safety Awareness Week.”
