Blood Gas Analyzers Have New Compliance Capabilities

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 23 Jan 2011
Blood gas analyzers have been enhanced and redesigned for low-to-mid- volume hospital and reference laboratories.

Quality Control (QC) information can be scanned into the system using simple barcode technology, increasing convenience for operators and minimizing opportunity for error. More...
The new applications conform specifically to the Guidelines of the German Federal Medical Council (RiliBAK) rules and Analytical Measurement Ranges, which helps to simplify the regulatory compliance process in select areas of the world.

The new enhancements are found on the RAPIDPoint 340/350 Blood Gas Analyzers enabling users to scan all quality control lot numbers and corresponding mean and standard deviation limits into the analyzer prior to running the ampouled QC. As quality control samples are analyzed, QC results for up to three levels per day, for a total of 31 days, are stored in the appropriate quality control folder on the instrument.

The RAPIDPoint 300 system produced by Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, (Deerfield, IL, USA), can be configured so that the analytical measurement ranges for each parameter ensuring that patient results are provided only for values that have been validated according to the calibration verification material tested. A new faster and quieter printer completes the package of convenient features

David Stein, PhD, CEO, Point-of-Care Business Unit, Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, said, "As hospital workloads increase, it is important to continually improve laboratory efficiencies and processes particularly in light of the cost containment and staffing challenges clinical laboratories face today. These latest enhancements to our blood gas systems were designed with that goal in mind."

The platform combines broad-range amplification using conserved regions of the 16S and 23S rRNA genes with species-specific CRISPR recognition. Fluorescence-coded CRISPR droplets are paired with sample droplets containing amplified products, enabling multiplexed target recognition and signal decoding (Image Credit: Yiwen Yang, Jingsong Xu, Dakang Xu)

Nanodroplet CRISPR Technology Supports Rapid, Multiplexed Mycobacterial Identification

Mycobacterial infections are difficult to diagnose because closely related species can have different clinical and therapeutic implications. Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are increasingly recognized... Read more
