The analyzer’s expanded data management capabilities include patient trending, QC scheduling and QC lockout. Information is entered via the color touch screen’s keyboard or a barcode wand. Test ordering can be accomplished through individual test requests or through user-defined panel keys. This system can be used as a stand-alone critical care analyzer or networked to the company’s Impact Information Management System.
The first cartridge to market measures pH, PO2, PCO2, NA+, K+, Ca++, and Hct. Future menu expansion is planned using the same cartridge configuration. The cartridges have an on-board life of 21 days. Two packaging options accommodate different testing volumes.
