Automatically identify, mix and measure samples

  • FLEXQ module automatically identifies, mixes and measures up to three samples in succession

  • Automated identification and mixing reduce risk of operator errors

  • Samples are automatically conveyed to the inlet and aspirated into the analyzer, so operators are free to return to their patients

 

Get lab-quality results at the point of care

  • Full CO-oximetry with interference correction/suppression

  • Automatic measurement and suppression of interferences from fetal hemoglobin, bilirubin, intralipids and sulfhemoglobin

  • No interference from Evans Blue and Cardio Green on oximetry results

  • Accurate glucose and lactate measurements

  • Fully automated micromodes ensure accuracy of very small samples

  • FLEXMODE ensures high sample success rate of precious capillary samples by providing the highest number of parameters as reliably possible

 

Achieve maximum control and efficiency

  • Automatic result processing, test ordering and transmission to the LIS system

  • Automatic data archiving and customizable layout

  • Data backup with USB drives

  • USB ports for easy connection of flash drives, keyboards, etc.

  • Hospital network integration through ASTM and HL7 standard communication protocols or via RADIANCE

safePICO sampler (website)

 Reduce the risk of needle-stick injuries

  • One-hand-operation of safety device allows safe removal of needles

Quickly remove air bubbles and avoid contact with patient blood

  • The safeTIPCAP simplifies the removal of air bubbles
  • Once air bubbles have been expelled, the sample is sealed for anaerobic transport
  • The risk of contact with patient blood is limited; ABL analyzers sample through the safeTIPCAP

Ensure fast and proper mixing with integrated mixing device

  • The integrated metal ball works as a mixing device, ensuring correct results, especially for Hb and fast mixing of the sample prior to analysiS

Correctly identify samples with safePICO’s unique barcode ID

  • safePICO is prebarcoded, making it easy to identify samples correctly (PSID)

safePICO Mixer

  • Ensure a thorough and uniform mixing from sample to sample by using the safePICO Mixer.
  • For use with ABL analyzers that do not have a built-in automated mixer

Avoid preanalytical errors

  • Radiometer’s free Blood Gas Preanalytics app gives you information on sampling techniques to help avoid preanalytical errors. The app is available for the Android, iPhone and Windows Phone.

CLINITUBES (website)
 

Capillaries available in glass and non-PVC plastic

Size options

  • Variety of sizes match sample-volume requirements of individual analyzers

Draw blood samples quickly, easily and safely

  • Unique surface treatment ensures fast filling of plastic capillary tubes
  • Mixing wires provide optimal mixing of the sample, minimizing risk of clotting
  • Plastic capillary samplers eliminate risk of breakage, staff injury and contamination

 

Secure sample quality

  • Uniform heparin coating ensures homogeneous sample quality
