Observe Medical ASA announced a doctoral (PhD) dissertation at Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden, demonstrates multiple clinical benefits of the Sippi® automated digital urine meter, and the potential paradigm shift in clinical practice of urine measurement. The PhD thesis `Evaluation of an automatic urinometer including use of silicone oil to decrease biofilm formation due to proteinuria, hemoglobinuria and bacterial growth' is written by Dr. Martin Slettengren and was dissertated at Dept. of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, Karolinska Institute in Stockholm on January 14, 2021. One of the studies in the thesis was announced in Observe Medical's release August 17, 2021. Dr. Slettengren's study also shows that silicone oil (Sippcoat®) reduces growth of microbial biofilm formation as well as biofilm coating from albumin and free hemoglobin. Observe Medical is currently launching Sippi® automated digital urine meter in selected markets in Europe, with the near-term focus on accelerating Sippi® clinical use in the Nordics.
