Visby Medical’s Sexual Health Click Test is a point-of-care device for sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
The test is an all-in-one unit that is FDA cleared to provide a diagnosis in under 30 minutes. Visby’s PCR test allows clinicians to discuss results and prescribe personalized treatment during patient visits to eliminate the need for presumptive treatment.
This innovative medical device has exhibited approximately 97% accuracy or greater for the detection of chlamydia, gonorrhea and trichomonas, which are the three most common pathogens that foster contagion and permanently damage a woman’s reproductive system if left untreated.
