Siemens RAPIDPoint 500 Blood Gas Analyzer for Efficient Critical Care Testing
The RAPIDPoint® 500 Blood Gas Systems leverage proven Siemens technology to deliver fast, accurate and comprehensive test results in about 60 seconds.
The Siemens RAPIDPoint® 500 blood gas analyzer is designed to meet the challenges of point-of-care settings. With easy-to-use and trusted technology, it is an ideal option for critical care testing. This flexible and easy-to-use analyzer help free your clinicians to focus on improved patient care without reliability or maintenance concerns. The device works with proven Siemens technology to deliver fast, accurate and comprehensive test results in approximately 60 seconds. It tests blood gas, electrolytes, glucose, lactate and full CO-oximetry including neonatal total bilirubin (nBili) and total hemoglobin (tHb). It can handle multiple sample types including whole blood (arterial and venous) and pleural fluid.
RAPIDPoint 500 Systems provide critical care values in approximately one minute. Parameters include:
* Blood gas (pH, pCO2, pO2)
* Electrolytes (Na+, K+, Ca++, Cl-)
* Metabolites (Glucose, Lactate)
* CO-oximetry (tHb, HHb, O2Hb, sO2, COHb, MetHb) and neonatal total bilirubin
* Full test menu from a single sample
* Pleural fluid pH
The system can also be optionally set up to record key ventilator settings including flow, respiratory rate, and continuous positive airway pressure, positive end expiratory pressure, peak inspiratory pressure, tidal volume and Allen test.
How the RAPIDPoint 500 System works
Just three easy steps can lead to lab-quality results:
* Scan, insert, and analyze—with test results in approximately 60 seconds
* Intuitive, menu-prompted operation and includes customizable demographic fields with multibyte character recognition
* On-board video tutorials simplify training and day-to-day use
* Built-in bar-code scanner supports faster and easier sample processing
* Fully automated calibration and quality control systems help ensure accuracy and support compliance without operator interaction
The port design automates sample aspiration, making hands-free testing process bio-safe and independent of operator technique.
Features and Benefits
The analyzer assures reliable and maintenance-free operation and offers the speed and flexibility needed at the point of care. In addition to easy data management and system control, a single RAPIDComm workstation can be used to remotely configure, monitor, and control networked POC analyzers and manage patient samples and central interface to hospital system. Operator management and QC processes and documentation can be centralized. Other features of this blood gas analyzer:
* Sample port designed to minimize bubbles and detect and clear clots
* Self-cleaning probe helps maintain sample integrity
* Single sample port accepts syringe or capillary samples without adapters
* Built-in scanner makes it faster and easier for operators to scan 1- and 2-dimensional bar codes
* Supports wireless roaming
* Seamless integration to LIS/HIS systems
* On-board bar-code scanner helps ensure data integrity
The Siemens RAPIDPoint 500 blood gas analyzer is available for purchase in online lab equipment stores. Purchase from a reliable New York vendor will ensure great pricing and maintenance support.
