Study Population

The study will enroll up to 300 participants from the emergency department at one clinical research site. Subjects who are suspected of having COVID-19 or other infectious respiratory diseases may be eligible for the study.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

Subjects meeting the following criteria may be eligible for participation in the study:

  1. ≥ 18 years old or older
  2. The first vital sign (any one of: blood pressure, temperature, pulse or respiratory rate) has been recorded in the medical record
  3. A complete blood count has been ordered for which a blood sample has been collected within 4.5 hours since the first vital sign was recorded
  4. Signs or suspicion of a respiratory infection, defined as:

    1. Subject designated for evaluation in the ED respiratory or pulmonary pod or similar location. OR
    2. An order placed for a respiratory viral panel. OR
    3. An order placed for a SARS-CoV-2 test. OR
    4. A subject self-reported as having tested positive for the SARS-CoV-2 test within the previous 7 days and returning with a related complaint.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To demonstrate the performance of the SeptiScan System as a diagnostic marker of life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host immune response to infection.
Time Frame: Day of enrollment through Day 5
The SeptiScan System is an investigational microfluidic assay that measures the biophysical properties of human leukocytes as an aid, in conjunction with other clinical assessments, to detect life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host immune response to infection. The SeptiScan System score is presented in three Interpretation Bands of low, intermediate, and high probability of disease. Remnant blood samples will be obtained from subjects in Emergency Department with signs or suspicion of COVID-19 or other infectious respiratory diseases. The blood samples will be analyzed using the SeptiScan System.
