The epoc® Blood Analysis System with the NXS Host is a handheld, wireless solution to enable comprehensive blood analysis testing at the patient's side on a single room temperature test card, with results in less than a minute.

The epoc system enables you to test for the following 13 analytes on a single-use card that requires no refrigeration.

The epoc system consists of three components:

  1. BGEM Test Card - a single-use, room temperature-stable, credit card-sized card with port for blood sample entry. It contains an array of sensors and calibration fluid in a sealed reservoir.
  2. Reader - Battery-powered device with internal bar-code scanner. The Reader accepts test cards, measures electrical signals from test card sensors, and transmits test results via BLUETOOTH to epoc Host.
  3. NXS Host mobile computer - Communicates via BLUETOOTH with epoc Reader. Host calculates analytical values sent from Reader. Similar in size to a handheld PDA.

The epoc® Blood Analysis System with the NXS Host helps improve workflow and the clinical experience, with benefits to your blood-gas testing program that were previously unavailable in a point-of-care system.

RAISING THE BENCHMARK FOR HANDHELD BLOOD GAS TESTING-AGAIN

 

FEATURES & BENEFITS

  • Streamline patient-testing workflow – Patient’s side testing improves turnaround times, patient care and operational efficiencies.
  • Accelerate clinical decision making – Clinicians can make faster decisions with lab-quality test results at the patient’s side.
  • Simplify inventory management - By incorporating a full menu on a single, room temperature-stable test card bar-coded for quality assurance, the epoc system delivers a more efficient and easy-to-manage patient-side testing program.
  • Deliver real-time results and reporting - With an integrated, wireless connection, you can easily transmit results from the patient’s side to the EMR/LIS/HIS in real time and gain centralized control of decentralized testing.
  • Empower caregivers with immediate access to critical, lab-quality test results at the patient's side to transform care delivery in the neonatal intensive care units.
  • Run complete blood gas and basic metabolic panel with hematocrit and lactate on a single room temperature-stable test card.
  • Actionable results in less than 1 minute at the patient’s side; results reflect that patient’s immediate condition, not their condition 30 minutes ago.
