epoc® Blood Analysis System

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.

    Features & Benefits

    Streamline patient-testing workflow.

      Streamline patient-testing workflow.

      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.

      Accelerate clinical decision making.

        Accelerate clinical decision making.

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

        Simplify inventory management.

          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.

            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.

            Clinical Use

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