1+ day, 16+ hour ago (205+ words) A San Diego medical technology company received FDA approval this morning for a device that could transform how patients get blood tests done. The FDA approved Truvian's new Tru-Verus machine, which can run nearly three dozen common blood tests right in a doctor's office. The approval means patients won't have to make separate appointments at labs and can receive results in minutes rather than days. The device allows patients to discuss their test results with their doctor immediately during their appointment, eliminating the need for follow-up visits or waiting for email notifications. "People don't regularly go get their blood tests done because it's inconvenient and it's not accessible and it costs money, and so we've been working to bring down all of those barriers through this technology, and through the technology, we can now democratize blood testing," Truvian founder Dena…...
