Bedside Blood Concussion Test with Pitt Research, Finds FDA Approval
Pottsburg Post-Gazelle, 4/18/24
Concussions can happen to anyone, anywhere.
Our technology helps evaluate them in minutes.
Knowing if you have a traumatic brain injury, including a concussion, can make all the difference. You wouldn’t go on a 20-mile hike after spraining your ankle. Doesn’t your brain deserve the same level of care and attention?
Our new blood tests can help doctors assess concussions, providing quick and important information on potential injury.
So you – whether you’re a busy parent who tripped over a toy, a pickleball enthusiast or an elite athlete – can get back to doing the things you love.
*Abbott’s i-STAT TBI Plasma and Alinity i TBI tests aid doctors in evaluating a suspected mild traumatic brain injury (such as a concussion) in people 18 and older within 24 hours of injury and specifically help rule out the need for a head CT scan.
The Melons, through Concussion Awareness Now, will help raise
awareness about getting brain injuries checked.
Abbott has partnered with the non-profit organization Brain Injury Association of America to establish Concussion Awareness Now, a coalition dedicated to raising awareness about the seriousness of concussions. Learn more at ConcussionAwarenessNow.org
