The first non-invasive screening device for infant meningitis
It’s born
The Neosonics is a sophisticated precision-engineering system using high-frequency ultrasound to non-invasively count white blood cell in the cerebrospinal fluid below the infant fontanel, the region of the head where the bones are not yet closed.
In the current practice, increased cerebrospinal fluid white blood cell count obtained through lumbar puncture immediately triggers medication irrespective of diagnostic bacteriologic results.
You will think it’s always been there
