Point-of-care Analyzers for Fast and Point-of-care Analyzers for Fast and Efficient Point-of-care Testing Efficient Point-of-care Testing Point-of-care (POC) analyzers are diagnostic devices that can be used near or at the site of patients for a relatively fast diagnosis. Point-of-care testing (POCT) plays a predominant role in critical care medicine. POCT refers to testing at or near the site of patient care whenever medical care is required. Widely used in physicians’ offices, hospitals, clinical laboratories and patient homes, point-of-care (POC) analyzers perform testing at or near the site of patient care and provide rapid results, which allows the physician to take quicker clinical decisions. These laboratory devices are used for routine diagnostic applications like analysis of blood for measuring lipid profile, glucose, cholesterol levels, ALT, TC/HDL, TC, AST, TC-HDL-GLU, hs-CRP values, perform electrolyte and enzyme analysis, test for drugs of abuse and for infectious diseases, and for pregnancy testing. Popular laboratory equipment suppliers offer both new and refurbished point-of-care analyzers from top manufacturers that offer quick results, short therapeutic turnaround time and reduced pre-analytic and post-analytic errors. Point-of-care Analyzers --Top Models Siemens DCA Vantage - Widely used in diverse settings ranging from physicians’ offices to remote, point-of-care coordinated sites in hospitals and multisite practices, the DCA Vantage® Analyzer helps monitor glycemic control and detect early kidney disease. The device measures different combinations of albumin, creatinine, and Albumin-to-Creatinine (A: C) ratio from a urine specimen in just 7 minutes. An onboard GFR calculator indexes kidney function. The laboratory analyzer features a storage capacity of up to 4,000 onboard records with powerful sorting capabilities. In addition, a bar-code scanner in this device allows for safer and faster patient/operator ID entry. Stanbio HemoPoint® H2 - HemoPoint® H2, DMS system from Stanbio can quickly and automatically access, manage and even analyze the hemoglobin test results gathered. This laboratory equipment can store in memory 4,000 patient results and 500 QC results. It also features quality control reminders at user-defined intervals and STAT-measurement capability (ready at any time).
