Compact analyser delivers readings on 19 parameters from a single 15ml aspiration to high accuracy and precision in short order
Sysmex UK has launched the pocH-100i - a fully automated haematology analyser that has been specifically designed for point of care testing.
Based on the same proven red blood cell and platelet detection technology of the high throughput Sysmex diagnostic instruments, this truly innovative analyser provides the same levels of precision and results accuracy and delivers a full blood count (FBC) in just two minutes.
Ideal at the point of care in ITU and A and E departments as well as on the hospital ward, the compact analyser is also suitable for use in GP surgeries, OPD (outpatient) clinics, at remote sites, and at anaesthesiology units alongside other critical monitoring equipment such as blood gas, platelet function analysers and thromboelastometry.
As well as common emergency parameters, pocH-100i provides a full three-part white blood cell (WBC) differential comprising counts for neutrophils, lymphocytes, and a mixed cell population.
With turnaround times for traditional laboratory-based FBC analysis typically between three and eight hours, pocHi's rapid results enable clinicians to make critical decisions quickly - saving both time and money and offering an improved patient service.
It is simple to use via a touch sensitive screen and requires minimal operator training.
19 parameters can be read from a single 15ml aspiration and reagents are provided in a convenient pack format.
Safety is paramount in the design of pocHi with closed vial sampling provided as standard, and the pre-dilution function is particularly useful for paediatric sample analysis.
PocH-100i joins the Pentapharm Rotem thromboelastometry system for whole blood haemostasis, Dade Behring PFA-100 platelet function analyser and Hemosense INRatio INR testing system as part of the rapidly expanding range of point of care products available from Sysmex UK.
