POCT (Point Of Care Testing) performed at emergency rooms, ICUs and other emergent settings requires highly reliable measurement results, simple operation, information sharing and consistently stable measurement.
The Epoc Blood Gas Analyzer, going on sale through ARKRAY, is a portable device with the same level of measurement precision and the same measurement times you would expect with a larger installed blood gas analyzer. It offers a wide range of functions vital for POCT such as simultaneous measurement of up to 9 items, simple operation with measurement cards and network functionality that links in with hospital systems. It offers the portability needed to support acute care that only comes with such a compact size.
♦ A compact and portable blood gas analyzer
Easy to carry and capable of rapid testing at the bedside
♦ Simple operation
Just insert measurement card and apply sample: easy-to-use, reducing operator to operator variance.
♦ Accurate and rapid testing
The Epoch shows great correlation with larger installed blood gas analyzers and allows for accurate testing. Rapid measurement results are available in just 3 minutes from startup
♦ Maximum of 9 simultaneous measurements with a single measurement card
Simultaneous measurement can be performed for up to 9 items including pH, pCO2 (partial CO2 pressure), pO2 (partial O2 pressure), Glu (glucose), Lac (lactate) and electrolytes. Measurement cards may be stored at 15-30C meaning that they can be used immediately in the event of an emergency.
♦ Maintenance free
Electrolytes, calibration solution and tubing are all contained inside the measurement card eliminating the need for regular maintenance associated with larger installed blood gas analyzers
♦ xpandable networking
With its wireless functionality, measurement data can be sent from the Epoch Host to information systems in the hospital meaning rapid test reporting in real time.
