Urodiag® (CE-IVD)


An accurate urine-based test for the surveillance of patients with low-, intermediate- and high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC)






Workflow


- An integrated genetic and epigenetic analysis

- A sensitive multiplex quantitative real-time PCR

- Mutation assay: Detection of 4 mutations of the FGFR3 gene (G372C, R248C, S249C, Y375C) 

- Methylation assay: Quantification of the level of DNA methylation of HS3ST2, SEPTIN9 and SLIT2 genes

- A software for an accurate rendering of results




Design of Multiplex PCR assays






Results of multicenter clinical study 




Sensitivity is the proportion of patients WITH disease that have a POSITIVE test
Specificity is the proportion of patients WITHOUT disease that have a NEGATIVE test
Negative predictive value (NPV) is the proportion of those WITHOUT disease that have a NEGATIVE test

Clinical applications and benefits
