Cardiac risk test enables doctors and nurses to obtain test results quickly and easily, without the delay and inefficiency of using a central laboratory
Oxford Biosensors will be exhibiting Multisense, a new point-of-care diagnostic analyser, at the 2004 AACC annual meeting and lab exposition in Los Angeles in July.
Multisense performs multiple diagnostic tests on a single drop of blood in seconds, anywhere.
The system consists of disposable diagnostic test strips, a portable mobile phone-sized reader, docking station and printer.
The Multisense cardiac risk test measures total cholesterol, HDL and LDL cholesterols and triglycerides individually on one test strip.
The tiny disposable diagnostic test strips incorporating micron-sized electrodes are inserted into a reader where results are displayed immediately.
The size of the instruments makes them extremely versatile in use.
They can be wall mounted or moved from office to clinic as demand dictates.
The instruments can be configured into an interlocking rack sharing the same power, downloading and printing facilities, making it the perfect system for busy cardiology units.
Designed to assist clinicians in the screening, diagnosis and monitoring of patients who are at risk of coronary heart disease, the Multisense cardiac risk test enables doctors and nurses to obtain test results quickly and easily, without the delay and inefficiency of using a central laboratory.
