2 Content UNYVERO HPN HOSPITALIZED PNEUMONIA APPLICATION The Unyvero HPN Pneumonia Application combines adequate detection of pathogens and antibiotic resistances to aid diagnosing pneumonia. A single test handles one patient sample analyzing 39 DNA targets and delivers reliable results within 4 hours. This approach facilitates a confident treatment decision at an earlier stage in the cycle of care.

3 Infections and Resistances INFECTIOUS DISEASES MEDICAL AND ECONOMIC BURDEN Severe acute infections and growing antibiotic resistances are a major burden for today s health care systems infections are together the number 3 cause of death. Fighting such infections would benefit from faster and more comprehensive diagnostics. The diagnosis and treatment of infections as it is today is imprecise and fraught with problems. Results from sample cultures usually take 2 days or longer. Clinicians must almost always begin treatment before results are available. In addition, antibiotic resistances compound the difficulty of therapy selection. They have risen steadily in the last several decades also due to inadequate antibiotic treatment. Clinical studies have demonstrated that adequate initial antibiotic treatment for most severe acute infections significantly improves medical outcome. In addition, appropriate and early antibiotic selection will limit the risk of increasing antibiotic resistance in the population as a whole. 4 Investigational Use. Not available for Sale in the United States. 5

4 Treating pneumonia patients with the right antibiotics at the right time often makes the difference between life and death. Faster diagnostics for pneumonia MEDICAL NEED IN PNEUMONIA FASTER DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS Pneumonia is a severe, life-threatening high incidence acute infection of the lower respiratory tract (LRT), which results from various causes, most commonly bacteria or viruses. It is a fast progressing disease with mortality rates up to 30% and an average hospital stay of 11 to 14 days associated with high treatment costs. The American Thoracic Society/Infectious Diseases Society of America (ATS/IDSA) guidelines distinguish the following types of pneumonia: > Community-acquired Pneumonia (CAP) is acquired in the community without a history of medical intervention. Often caused by viruses, they usually follow a mild course, however 25% of CAP need hospitalization (hcap). > Hospital-acquired (or nosocomial) Pneumonia (HAP) is a pneumonia that occurs 48 hours or more after admission and did not appear to be incubating at the time of admission. > ventilator-associated Pneumonia (VAP) is a type of HAP that develops more than 48 to 72 hours after endotracheal intubation. > Healthcare-associated Pneumonia (HCAP) is defined as pneumonia that occurs in a nonhospitalized patient with extensive healthcare contact. Studies have demonstrated, that the medical outcome of hcap and scap including VAP would certainly benefit from faster diagnostics. 6 Investigational Use. Not available for Sale in the United States. 7

5 Increasing Antibiotic Resitances GLOBAL CHALLENGE ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE > Antibiotic resistant bacteria have become an everyday occurrence and problem in hospitals across the world. > misuse of antibiotics may cause patients to become colonized or infected with antibiotic resistant bacteria, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) and highly-resistant Gram-negative bacilli. > The emergence, selection and spread of resistant bacteria is a threat to patient safety in hospitals because: - infections with antibiotic resistant bacteria result in increased morbidity, mortality, and length of hospital stay. - antibiotic resistance frequently leads to a delay in appropriate antibiotic therapy. - inappropriate or delayed antibiotic therapy in patients with severe infections is associated with worse patient outcomes and sometimes death. - patients who are hospitalized have a high probability of receiving an antibiotic and 50% of all antibiotic use in hospitals can be inappropriate. - misuse of antibiotics in hospitals is one of the main factors that drive the development of antibiotic resistance. 8 Investigational Use.

8 A broad spectrum COVERAGE CLINICALLY RELEVANT PATHOGENS AND ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCES Group Gram-positive bacteria Enterobacteriaceae Non-fermenting bacteria Others / Fungi Pathogen Staphylococcus aureus Streptococcus pneumoniae Citrobacter freundii Escherichia coli Enterobacter cloacae complex Enterobacter aerogenes Proteus spp. Klebsiella pneumoniae Klebsiella oxytoca Klebsiella variicola Serratia marcescens Morganella morganii Moraxella catarrhalis Pseudomonas aeruginosa Acinetobacter baumannii complex Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Legionella pneumophila Pneumocystis jirovecii Haemophilus influenzae Mycoplasma pneumoniae In Pneumonia, the early detection of pathogens and antibiotic resistances is key to improving clinical outcome. The Unyvero System uniquely addresses the analysis of antibiotic resistance markers simultaneously with the pathogen detection. The Unyvero Hospitalized Pneumonia panel of microorganisms and resistance gene markers is designed based on feedback of clinical experts and international, as well as national treatment guidelines.* The panel is primarily designed to capture patients at risks for > pathogens causing severe, difficult to treat forms of pneumonia e.g. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, pathogens carrying antibiotic resistance and where patients may need isolation (Klebsiella spp., Acinetobacter spp.) > infections with multidrug-resistant bacteria, that might not be targeted by empiric treatment schemes. In addition, for the panel composition pathogen incidences have been taken into account, thus it includes those microorganisms showing an incidence of above 5%. The panel is completed by adding difficult to diagnose pathogens (e.g. Legionella pneumophila) with lower incidence, but with a rather high clinical impact. The Curetis Unyvero HOSPITALIZED Pneumonia panel targets the following antimicrobial classes by analyzing 19 genetic markers > ß-lactam-resistance > Macrolide-resistance > Fluoroquinolone resistance > resistance as clinically most relevant in pneumonia causing pathogens.

9 established technologies in a new format DIVERSITY HIGHLY SPECIFIC MULTIPLEX PCR and FAST ARRAY-BASED DETECTION Pathogen DNA Specific Amplification Specific Target Hybridization Detection and Specific Control Sample Types Sample Quality One of Curetis core competencies is the design of reliable > sputum > lavage (BAL) > tracheal aspirate > liquid > viscous > contaminated with - cells - blood bio-assays in self-contained cartridges for enabling sensitive multiplex testing. The required multiplex grade is achieved by combining the unmatched sample preparation and PCR technology with a proprietary detection array. Endpoint-PCR can deliver higher multiplex grades than most other amplification methods and in that respect holds clear advantages over e.g. real-time PCR. vim Curetis` proprietary and universal sample preparation technology prepares DNA from any native clinical sample type without losing time for preculturing. Curetis` technology efficiently extracts DNA from different microorganisms (Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, fungi and other intracellular organisms) even in complex samples like highly viscous sputa or in samples contaminated with blood. Because of its universal applicability the Curetis technology can use a single protocol for sample preparation for many different sample types in any clinical application. The array has been optimized for hybridization times of a few minutes compared to standard arrays. To enhance specificity, the dissociation kinetics of the array hybridization are automatically assessed. In addition with each patient sample, an artificial gene is simultaneously processed as internal process control. The control verifies all PCR steps, as well as the array hybridization.

Step 1 Transfer of samples and lysis Step 2 Assembling the Unyvero Cartridge Step 3 Scanning and inserting the Unyvero Cartridge Step 4 Four to five-hour analysis process Working time ~ 60 seconds: ~ 30 seconds: ~ 20 seconds: It takes just a few minutes for subsequent analysis of the results: 1. The patient sample is transferred to the Unyvero Sample Tube, then sealed in with the Unyvero Sample Tube Cap and lysed for 30 minutes in the Unyvero Lysator. 2. After 30 minutes, the Unyvero Sample Tube can be removed from the Lysator and inserted together with the Unyvero Master Mix Tube into the corresponding Unyvero Cartridge. 3. The cartridge is now scanned and inserted into the Unyvero Analyzer. Up to two cartridges per analyzer can be analyzed simultaneously. 4. The Unyvero analysis now runs for four to five hours. The results are then displayed on the screen or can be exported as a PDF. 20 Investigational Use. Not available for Sale in the United States. 21
