Features & Benefits
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.
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.
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.
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.
