FDA clears Memed’s point-of-care infectious disease test

Sep. 20, 2021
By Catherine Longworth

While most infectious disease tests look for the pathogen, Memed BV is an advanced host immune response test that measures the levels of immune system proteins and applies proprietary algorithms to generate an immune signature.
