IVDR compliance
Tailored expert IVDR implementation service is provided, facilitating routine testing with in-house technical support meeting local compliance requirements
Hedera Profiling 2 ctDNA test panel: highly actionable for most common solid tumors
32-gene NGS panel optimized to run samples across all solid tumor types recommended by ESMO for ctDNA testing including the vast majority of ESCAT Level I biomarkers published to date
Hedera Profiling 2 ctDNA test panel includes SNVs, Indels, CNVs, Fusions, and MSI
The panel detects a broad range of cfDNA variants as well as Microsatellite Instability (MSI).
Thoroughly verified and eases your local validation step
The panel offers highly sensitive and specific variant detection with 30 ng total cfDNA input, capable of identifying variants of high clinical interest, including those classified ESCAT Level I, at 0.5% VAF.
Results can be obtained within a swift 5 calendar days enabling labs to expedite testing timelines without compromising data accuracy, achieving an overall panel sensitivity > 97% and specificity > 99% at 0.5% VAF for key variants classified ESCAT Level I, across multiple cancer types.

Supportive technical documentation is also supplied as pre-filled folder to facilitate your local compliance.
The Hedera Comply implementation program provides you with all that you need to run a local validation and develop a compliant in-house IVD liquid biopsy solution.
From onsite laboratory hands-on training to technical documentation supply and routine follow-up, Hedera Dx remains your local implementation and validation partner all the way through.
* Hedera Profiling 2 ctDNA test panel is labelled for Performance Studies Only. Not available in all countries including the United States. The clinical performance evaluation of Hedera Profiling 2 ctDNA test panel has not been established and users can run a local validation under CE-IVDR to ultimately use the assay as in-house IVD.
** Mechanism of resistance, non applicable for ESCAT (ESMO Scale of Clinical Actionability for molecular Targets).
$ NTRK 2/3 fusions and BRCA1/2 genes were not included in the panel to abate the overall panel size accommodating more sample multiplexing options with increased sensitivity. All other ESCAT Level I gene alterations are included.
