  • LumiraDx is partnering with Medtronic and a number of local healthcare trusts and charities in the UK to launch the Your Heart Matters Bus initiative where members of the public will be offered free heart health checks, LumiraDx NT-proBNP test results as indicated and medical information through a mobile walk-on service.

LONDON, Jan. 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LumiraDx Limited (Nasdaq: LMDX), a next-generation point of care diagnostics company, today announced it has commenced commercial shipment of its point of care NT-proBNP test to aid in the diagnosis of CHF across Europe.

The LumiraDx NT-proBNP direct fingerstick assay monitors levels of peptides elevated in the majority forms of heart failure and provides results in twelve minutes from sample application. It is designed to provide lab comparable performance in community-based healthcare settings to quickly and accurately aid in the diagnosis of individuals suspected of having congestive heart failure.

The LumiraDx NT-proBNP test is currently the only quantitative direct fingerstick NT-proBNP assay commercially available, which can enable access to NT-proBNP testing in the community.

To illustrate how the LumiraDx Platform is helping to transform community-based healthcare, LumiraDx is partnering with Medtronic and a number of local healthcare trusts and charities in the UK to launch the Your Heart Matters Bus initiative where members of the public will be offered free heart health checks through a mobile walk-on service. The initiative launches on February 1st and, as part of the initiative, the LumiraDx NT-proBNP point of care test will be used with the members of public who are recommended a test by the healthcare professional at the walk-on service.

Ron Zwanziger, CEO of LumiraDx explains, “As the disease burden of heart failure continues to grow across developed countries, there is a push to optimise diagnosis and care for patients in the community. POC testing is fast and accessible, making implementation in primary care more efficient than laboratory testing. The innovative fingerstick application of the LumiraDx NT-proBNP test will greatly facilitate the switch to NT-proBNP testing in the community, with the potential to transform the diagnosis of heart failure with earlier detection and intervention. The Your Heart Matters Bus initiative is a perfect example of how the LumiraDx technology can truly bring lab comparable diagnostics to the community.”
