How IntelliSep Is Revolutionizing Emergency Sepsis Care

Sepsis accounts for 1.7 million adult hospitalizations and over 350,000 deaths annually in the United States. Recognizing symptoms early remains one of the greatest challenges in emergency medicine. FMOL Health is transforming this landscape by pioneering a groundbreaking diagnostic tool called IntelliSep.

Faster Diagnosis Saves Lives

Sepsis acts as a race against time. The condition occurs when the body overreacts to an infection, triggering rapid organ failure. Traditional diagnostic methods often require hours, allowing damage to progress before treatment begins.

IntelliSep changes the paradigm completely. By analyzing white blood cells directly from a simple blood draw, the technology delivers definitive results in just eight to ten minutes. Clinicians no longer need to wait for organ dysfunction to appear before initiating targeted interventions.

|               INTELLISEP DIAGNOSTIC TIMELINE                |
+-------------------------------------------------------------+
|  00:00 - Patient arrives & completes initial 5-min screen   |
|  00:05 - High-risk flag triggers immediate blood draw       |
|  00:15 - IntelliSep result returns (Yes/No answer)         |
|  00:16 - Code Sepsis called; patient pulled from waiting rm |

Streamlining Emergency Room Triage

FMOL Health implements a structured protocol known as People, Process, and Pivot:

  • Identify High-Risk Patients: ER staff screen vital signs and confusion levels within five minutes of arrival.

  • Rapid Blood Analysis: Staff process high-risk samples using IntelliSep to evaluate cell activation.

  • Execute Code Sepsis: High-probability results immediately mobilize dedicated care teams.

  • Pivot Alternative Care: Low-probability results allow physicians to explore other diagnoses quickly without over-prescribing unnecessary antibiotics.

By identifying high-risk individuals before visual symptoms worsen, emergency teams pull vulnerable patients straight from waiting rooms into treatment bays, shaving up to 70 minutes off time-to-care.

Expanding the Future of Diagnostic Precision

Beyond emergency departments, research teams are piloting IntelliSep for inpatient monitoring to catch hospital-acquired infections early. Healthcare leaders are also exploring logistics—including drone delivery—to extend this rapid testing capability to rural community hospitals, ensuring top-tier diagnostic precision reaches every patient.
