The Story of PRO Devices

PRO Devices vision is to help improve treatment of infectious diseases and thereby help save human lives through delivering the best AST measuring technology in the world – PD-Technology.

We add value to the laboratories by optimizing manual workflow of weary routines, using automated resistance measurements, which is time-consuming and a routine task.

PRO Devices was founded in 2014 with expertise in the production of antibiotic tablets, vision technology and mechanics. PRO Devices A/S is a family owned company and is led by Charlotte Enghave Fruergaard, who has a Ph.D. in Measuring Techniques.

PD-100 is an innovation in laboratory technology, where we standardize and streamline the work processes and enhances quality and safety around the patients’ test results. The product is developed in close collaboration with clinical microbiological laboratories in both Denmark and Sweden. We have been in dialogue with people from EUCAST and from WHO during the development process.

PD-100 reads the size of all inhibition-zones on disc diffusion tests, at the same time the individual antibiotic discs are identified, and documentation and traceability are ensured with photo-documentation.

In 2020 we have filed 2 patents on text recognition of antibiotic-discs and diameter determination of inhibition zones.
