The cost of sepsis is high: Mortality from sepsis increases 8% for every hour that treatment is delayed.1 Every year in the U.S. at least 250,0002 die from sepsis, and hospitalization for sepsis costs more than $27 billion.3
As many as 80% of sepsis deaths could be prevented with rapid diagnosis and treatment.1 Quickly diagnosing and treating sepsis is critical for your patients and your organization.
The epoc® Blood Analysis System can help you perform sepsis testing at the bedside with serum lactate results in less than 60 seconds.
With the epoc system, you can:
- Maintain or create patient-side sepsis protocols and transmit these lab-quality results from the bedside to the EMR/LIS/HIS in real time.
- Run a full panel of tests, including lactate, BUN, and TCO2 on one room temperature-stable test card that is bar-coded for quality assurance.
- Reduce time by eliminating unnecessary steps that may lead to delays.
- Minimize patient identification errors with Positive Patient ID through real-time patient identification look up.
With the epoc system, deliver outcomes that matter by spending less time on your process and more time with your patients.
