Improve outcomes and workflow while transforming care delivery across clinical pathways. The epoc® Blood Analysis System gives you lab-quality results here and now.

The epoc system 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.

  • Streamline patient-testing workflow.
  • Accelerate clinical decision making.
  • Simplify inventory management.
  • Deliver real-time results and reporting.
Blood Gas Analyzer Device

The epoc system is a handheld, wireless solution to enable comprehensive blood gas testing at the patient’s side on a single room temperature cartridge, with results in less than one minute.

The epoc Blood Analysis System provides accurate results for a full panel of critical tests on a single, room-temp stable test card in less than 1 minute after sample introduction at the patient’s side.

A complete blood gas, basic metabolic panel with hematocrit and lactate on a single room temperature-stable test card.

Empower caregivers with immediate access to critical, lab quality test results at the patient’s side to transform care delivery in the NICU.

The epoc system provides full panel testing with results in less than one minute on a single test card.

Aids clinicians in collecting heparinized capillary samples with only the 90 µL of sample required for testing.

Particulars

Features & Benefits

By moving testing to the patient’s side, caregivers, patients, and hospital administration all benefit from a less-complex testing process that improves turnaround times, patient care, and operational efficiencies.

Empower clinicians to make faster decisions with lab-quality results at the patient’s side, enhancing clinical decision making and improving patient outcomes.

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.

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.

Clinical Use

Test results from the epoc® system correlate with leading point-of-care benchtop blood gas and chemistry analyzers.
