Procleix Plasmodium assay receives CE mark!
This is the first nucleic acid test (NAT) on an automated NAT system to detect the presence of Plasmodium species in blood donors, reducing the risk of transfusion-transmitted infections by this parasite responsible for over 240 million infections and 620,000 deaths annually1.
The Procleix Plasmodium Assay uses Transcription-Mediated Amplification (TMA) to detect the presence of ribosomal RNA of five species of Plasmodium parasites (P. falciparum, P. knowlesi, P. malariae, P. ovale, and P. vivax) in whole blood samples.
This assay helps to reduce the transfusion of infected blood, even when the donor does not exhibit symptoms and traditional screening techniques cannot detect the presence of the pathogen.
More information to come. Stay tuned!

New Grifols Digital Technical Library
Grifols is working to build new tools to assist and improve the efficiency of our team when assisting you. Because we want to contribute to the laboratory operational efficiency, this new platform streamlines lab operations by simplifying the documentation management process.
The Grifols Technical Library is a digital portal of technical information and documentation for all Grifols diagnostic products that provides new, useful features and benefits for users.
The digital documents include: User Manuals, Customer Technical Bulletins, Certificates of Analysis, Safety Data Sheets, Instructions for Use, and Antigenic Tables, among others. The portal presents a new dedicated section for electronic Instructions for Use (IFU) of all reagents in IH, NAT, and CDx, a global project that will remove paper IFU from kit boxes. With this step, Grifols shows respect for the environment.

Promonitor Quick Video Tutorial
August 2021 — Grifols is excited to share our latest video about Promonitor Quick, a Grifols Point-of-Care (PoC) system that allows patients to monitor their infliximab level next to them.
Promonitor Quick IFX measures infliximab (IFX) levels in whole blood and serum for Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) of patients with chronic inflammatory diseases. Promonitor Quick Anti-IFX detects the antibodies that neutralize the drug.
Promonitor Quick tests deliver results in as few as 20 Minutes, in the doctor's office, clinics and laboratory, ensuring that clinicians have the right information to optimize patient treatment when it matters most. It covers both the reference infliximab (Remicade) and infliximab biosimilars including CT-P13 (Inflectra/Remsima), SB2 (Flixabi/Renflexis) and GP1111 (Zessly/Ixifi).
