MARCY L'ÉTOILE, France, March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- bioMérieux, a world leader in the field of in vitro diagnostics, announces the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for VITEK® COMPACT PRO. This innovative system for microorganism identification (ID) and antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) will benefit clinical laboratories to help diagnose infectious diseases and combat antimicrobial resistance, and industrial laboratories to identify contaminants for ensuring consumer safety.

Every year 11 million people worldwide die of sepsis1 and 1.3 million of these deaths are attributable to antibiotic-resistant bacteria2. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) continues unabated making detection of resistant pathogens more complex. Clinicians need to receive accurate identification and faster antibiotic susceptibility test (AST) results, to enable timely and optimized patient intervention.

For over 30 years as a global leader in automated ID/AST systems, bioMérieux continues to collaborate with laboratory professionals and clinicians to innovate microbiology solutions for improved patient health management, operating cost efficiencies, and effective antimicrobial stewardship (AMS).

VITEK® COMPACT PRO combines the latest diagnostic technology with the globally acknowledged advantages of its predecessor: VITEK® 2 COMPACT. With an ergonomically advanced design and a simplified workflow, it further enhances the user experience and improves overall efficiency as the laboratory technician has to spend less time for sample loading and processing3. It offers one of the most efficient workflows, fastest routine ID/AST results and microbiology expertise for accurate and confident diagnostics insights4. Ideally suited for small and medium-sized laboratories, VITEK® COMPACT PRO will also enable laboratories transitioning from manual workflows to benefit from automation efficiencies.

"For decades, bioMérieux has been an industry leader in microbiology innovation. With the introduction of VITEK® COMPACT PRO, we are continuing this journey and delivering on the specialized needs of our customers – supporting laboratories with simplified, efficient workflows and the latest technology to optimize their experience. Through ongoing expansion of our VITEK® solutions portfolio, bioMérieux continues to strengthen our comprehensive AMR/AMS offer and reinforce our commitment to provide next-generation ID/AST systems to healthcare and laboratory professionals around the world," commented Jennifer Zinn, Executive Vice President, Clinical Operations.

"As a leader in the fight against AMR, bioMérieux continuously innovates by developing and renewing its key diagnostic solutions. VITEK® COMPACT PRO delivers fast, accurate and reproducible results comparable to VITEK® 2 and VITEK® 2 COMPACT systems. The ergonomic features, a new intuitive user interface, and an updated software with one of the most comprehensive knowledge database makes VITEK® COMPACT PRO highly appealing to both clinical and industrial laboratories." added Céline Roger-Dalbert, Executive Vice President, Research and Development.

For industrial applications, VITEK® COMPACT PRO will be used for routine identification of pathogens to ensure the quality and safety of food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic products.

The commercial launch of VITEK® COMPACT PRO is initially planned in select countries, followed by global launch starting in the second quarter of 2025.
