Within 24hrs we provide a semiquantitative report with bacteria load.

Genesis Diagnostics is redefining wound care pathogen identification with GenseQ / WC. Offering six different specialized panels that can detect up to 46 pathogens at once per wound type. This level of specification combined with the most advanced technology is the first step to achieving successful wound healing.

ADVANTAGES

• Provides an Accurate Diagnosis within 24 hours• Detects Polymicrobial Infections at Once• Unaffected By Concurrent Antibiotic Use• Detects Pathogens that May Not Be Detectable by Culture• Decreases Healthcare Costs• Improves Antibiotic Stewardship• Reduces Unnecessary Drug Exposure and Adverse Events• Decreases Patient Risks• Eliminates Subjectivity and Improves Clinical Confidence• Improves Patient Satisfaction

ACCURATE RESULTS

• Real-Time PCR for pathogen identification• Detection of antibiotic resistance• Precisely analyze the genetic material of pathogens• 3-5X more sensitive than conventional cultures• Pathogen identification and antibiotic resistance results within 24 hours

SPECIMEN COLLECTION

A sterile swab may be used to collect pus from a superficial wound site.

From deeper wounds, aspirations of fluid into a syringe and/or a tissue biopsyare the optimal specimens to allow for the recovery of aerobic and

anaerobic bacteria.

SUBMISSION

Insert the swab into the tube pushing it all the way to the bottom of the tube.

Holding the swab shaft close to the rim of the tube and point the tube away,break the swab shaft along the prescored breakpoint indentation.

Label the specimen appropriately, including two patient identifiers.(e.g. Patient name and date of birth) Also include specimen source, date and time

of collection.

Place the swab and transport media into a bio-hazard bagand send back to lab via FedEx.

COMMON ICD-10 CODESCPT CODES: 87798, 87500

This test is designed to detect pathogens and/or bacterial agents surrounding the wound potentially causing discoloration and foreign particles to be present in the area of infection. This test helps with ruling out the cause of infections from bacterial patho-gens resulting from following common wounds:

AT RISK PATIENTS

• Redness or discoloration• Skin may harden or tighten• Swelling• Warmth / Fevers when spread to blood• Pain, tenderness• Scaling, itching• Pustules, pus drainage

COMMON SYMPTOMS

• Poor blood circulation / Diabetes• Weakened/suppressed immune system• Low mobility or immobility• Malnutrition

• Infectious wounds: Bacterial, fungal or viral.• Ischemic wounds: Lack of sufficient blood supply.• Radiation poisoning wounds: Excessive exposure to ionizing radiating materials.• Surgical wounds: Wounds caused by incisions made during surgery.• Ulcers (the most common type of chronic wounds).Arterial ulcers: Hypertension, Atherosclerosis (plugging) and thrombosis (clotting).

Venous ulcers: Deep vein thrombosis, varicose veins and venous hypertension Diabetic ulcers: Impaired immune function, ischemia (due to poor blood circulation) and neuropathy (nerve damage)

• Pressure ulcer: Breakage of skin and ulceration. (also known as bed sores)

• Chemotherapy: Skin atrophy, soft tissue fibrosis and microvascular damage.

While there are many types of wounds, the above listed are the most common.
