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

  • 128 wavelengths for full CO-oximetry

  • 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

  • Windows® XP operating system

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

  • Automatic data archiving and customizable layout

  • Data backup with read/write CD-ROM drive

  • USB ports for easy connection of e.g. 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

  • Onboard, one-hand-operation 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 

Ensure fast and proper mixing with integrated mixing device

  • The integrated metal ball works as a mixing device, ensuring correct 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

safePICO Mixer

  • Ensure a thorough and uniform mixing from sample to sample by using the safePICO Mixer.

CLINITUBES (website)
 

Capillaries available in glass and "non-PVC" plastic

 

Match different analyzer requirements

  • 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

  • Glass capillary samplers secures airtight storage and reliable pO2 results

  • High concentration of Radiometer's patented electrolyte-balanced heparin ensures reliable results
