FAQs
VERI-5 Vet: your questions answered
The essentials on rapid, in-practice UTI testing for cats and dogs.
What is VERI-5 Vet?
VERI-5 Vet is a compact desktop instrument with single-use cartridges for rapid detection of bacteriuria, direct from urine. It gives veterinary teams a microbiology result in 15 minutes, in the practice, so they can confirm bacteriuria before prescribing antibiotics instead of waiting for send-away culture.
How quickly does VERI-5 Vet provide results?
In 15 minutes. Standard urine culture can take up to two days, which means antibiotics are often started before the cause of infection is known. VERI-5 Vet gives you the answer while the patient is still in the practice.
Which animals is VERI-5 Vet suitable for?
VERI-5 Vet is designed for cats and dogs, helping small-animal teams assess suspected urinary tract infections (UTIs).
What does VERI-5 Vet detect?
VERI-5 Vet detects bacteriuria and identifies the common bacteria that cause UTIs. Species currently identified:
- Escherichia coli
- Klebsiella pneumoniae
- Proteus mirabilis
Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus pseudintermedius are under development.
How accurate is VERI-5 Vet?
VERI-5 Vet shows more than 90% sensitivity and more than 90% specificity. Sensitivity is how reliably it picks up true cases of bacteriuria. Specificity is how reliably it avoids false positives.
Does VERI-5 Vet replace urine culture?
For routine cases, VERI-5 Vet can replace send-away culture with an in-house result, confirming bacteriuria and identifying the most common uropathogens in 15 minutes. It does not test antimicrobial susceptibility. Culture and sensitivity testing still has a place for resistance profiling, complicated or recurrent infections, species outside the current panel, and follow-up. Interpret results alongside clinical signs and your own clinical judgement.
What does the workflow look like?
There are five steps:
- Filter and add 2 mL of urine
- Load the cartridge
- Press start
- The analyser mixes and analyses the sample
- Results in 15 minutes
Is VERI-5 Vet available now?
VERI-5 Vet is currently available through our Technology Access Partnership (TAP) programme. TAP is our early-access programme: a live, in-clinic evaluation with dedicated support from the FluoretiQ team at every step. TAP is now accepting applications for Cohort 2, with a focus on independent practices. Register your interest
