Federal Public Health Mandate – Global Intervention
Infectious disease is a growing global health threat. As recently as two weeks ago,
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius launched a global effort to
“prevent, detect and respond to infectious disease threats where they start”. (Global
Health Security Agenda).
Infectious disease epidemics originate largely in
developing countries. The United States is
susceptible to infectious disease transmission by
virtue of the increased mobility and interaction of
global populations. Human immunodeficiency
virus (HIV) serves as a potent reminder.
The United States occupies a lead position as a
“first responder” to humanitarian crises
throughout the world, including infectious
disease outbreaks. The ability to diagnose a
patient quickly and accurately is critical to
containing an outbreak.

Federal Public Health Mandate – Domestic Healthcare
The incidence of opportunistic, secondary infection in
primary care facilities is increasing at an alarming rate.
The costs in patient morbidity and treatment are
straining the national healthcare system.
A report published in the Journal of Emerging
Infectious Diseases, found a 90% increase in reports of
MRSA infections among U.S. hospital outpatient
admissions from 1999-2006.
A 2009 Center for Disease Control study review
examining the costs of healthcare associated infections
in hospitals estimated the excess hospital cost of
healthcare associated infections in the US to be
between 28 and 45 billion dollars annually.

Federal Public Health Mandate – National Security
In addition to existing and potential infectious disease outbreaks
attributable to spontaneous environmental origin, it is incumbent
upon the United States to maintain a robust, comprehensive
prophylaxis and agile emergency response strategy to combat the
possibility of a biological attack.

Federal Public Health Mandate – Improved Patient Care
In each scenario “time to diagnosis” is critical.
Rapid diagnosis facilitates:
 Identification and quarantine of infected patients
 Identification of the infectious agent/pathogen
 Administration of the appropriate treatment regimen
 Reduction in duration of symptoms and improved prognosis
 Reduction in patient length of stay
Faster diagnosis, prompt and appropriate medical treatment and
reduced duration of hospital stay improve patient quality of life,
reduce health care expense and facilitate increased access to
immediate care facilities.

Mosaic 545™

Time is Critical
When a patient presents with an infection during emergency or
intensive care, blood culture can be a race against time.
The typical process of pathogen identification
in blood takes at least 24 hours.
Current methods include culture techniques
using agar plates and culture mediums (c. early
1900s) prolonging the process of identification.
Culture methods are dependent on producing
additional infectious pathogen.

Sensor Function
The baseline impedance of each sensor is established prior to sample
processing. At this point, the specimen is intact, and no antibody
binding has occurred.
The Mosaic 545 monitors the impedance across each sensor
continuously in real-time, detecting and identifying changes resulting
from antibody-pathogen binding.
Localized sensor fluorescence is measured, confirming binding
interaction at the sensor.

Signal Processing Software
Mosaic 545 combines well established scientific elements with
cutting edge technologies to identify the presence of pathogens
at a sub-specific (strain) level. The mechanism of detection is
two-fold:
I. Change in impedance across a reduced graphene
oxide (RGO) sensor
II. Optical measurement of fluorescence emission
Changes are due to specific ribosomal RNA (rRNA) – monoclonal
antibody (mAb) binding. The sensor array is coded and activated
sensor(s) identify the pathogen(s).
