Nature of the site and absence of regulatory qualification
SeptiMap is a documentary and educational resource for healthcare professionals and healthcare students. It presents associations between infectious agents and anatomical sites as described in the scientific literature, with their level of evidence and their references.
SeptiMap is not a medical device within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2017/745, carries no CE marking and has undergone no conformity assessment. It provides no individual decision support, no diagnosis, no personalised treatment recommendation, and processes no data about any patient. The tropism levels it displays describe a frequency reported in the cited literature: this is not a probability applicable to any given person.
The information presented never substitutes for clinical judgement, for the recommendations of learned societies or for summaries of product characteristics. The medical decision rests exclusively with the professional in charge of the patient.
Sources, review and error reporting
Bibliographic sources are listed on /en/sources; every DOI is verified automatically. The selection method and the limits of the corpus are described on /en/methodology. The status of external review is stated on /en/about.
Edited by a physician · AI-assisted writing. The texts were drafted with the help of an artificial-intelligence assistant, then reviewed by the author alone. Review by an infectious diseases specialist is in progress; it is not finished.
Any error can be reported from each card (“Report an error on this card”) or at contact@septimap.fr. Corrections to the medical data are recorded on /en/updates.
