InPouch TV (Trichomonas vaginalis)

InPouch TV is a highly specific and sensitive device allowing for simultaneous growth and observation of Trichomonas vaginalis , the parasite responsible for the STI Trichomoniasis. The InPouch TV is known as “The Gold Standard” diagnostic for this STI. The proprietary medium of the InPouch TV is selective for the transport and growth of T. vaginalis and increases specificity by inhibiting the growth of yeasts, mold, bacteria, and other commensal micro flora. No slide preparation is required to view T. vaginalis in the InPouch. BioMed’s InPouch TV test is a microbiology sample collection, transport, and culture device that allows for simultaneous growth and observation of Trichomonas vaginalis, the parasite responsible for the sexually transmitted infection trichomoniasis. By combining several procedures into a single device, BioMed’s patented InPouch TV test saves time and money while reducing exposure to collected samples. The patented InPouch system consists of a high barrier, oxygen resistant, plastic pouch with two Vshaped chambers connected by a arrow passage. The innovative two-compartment system allows for direct preliminary “wet-mount” observation of a newly collected pecimen in the upper chamber before expressing the contents into the lower chamber for culture and further observation when necessary. Combining both growth and observation into one fully enclosed system removes the need to prepare wet mount slides increasing efficiency and throughput while decreasing the cost of laboratory materials and medical waste. Additionally, the InPouch design lends itself to high performance in off-site or austere environments with limited reliance on laboratory equipment making the InPouch TV ideal for point-of-care testing or off-site sampling. This is possible because the InPouch TV can be stored for up to a year at room temperature (18-25 °C) and organisms can be kept viable at this temperature for up to 48 hours prior to incubation. Transport from off-site locations and point-of-care testing can be performed easily due to the flexible packaging and robust, integral design of the InPouch system. Is the first, most robust and economical IVD for clinical trichomoniasis, the InPouch TV is known as “The Gold Standard” diagnostic for this STI. The proprietary medium of the InPouch TV is selective for the transport and growth of T. vaginalis and increases specificity by inhibiting the growth of yeasts, mold, bacteria, and other commensal microflora. The specially formulated media inhibits the potential for interference in obtaining accurate results.
