Empower your ED with certainty

As an ED professional, you deal with uncertainty every day. Patients with diffuse symptoms require various tests, which can result in long waiting times for lab results causing overcrowding and potentially delaying timely care for your most critical patients.

Point-of-care testing (POCT) can be an asset in the emergency department, helping to speed up diagnosis and treatment processes while reducing contingencies and process costs. [1,2,3]

Radiometer, specialists in blood gas and acute care diagnostics since 1954, delivers comprehensive and connected ED POCT solutions to support fast clinical decision-making in the ED.

Overview of some of the relevant parameters that you can measure with the Radiometer ED POCT solution.
Explore the parameters available to you with our ICU and NICU point-of-care testing solutions.

How you can accelerate patient flow in the ED

Whether you send the patient home or on for further treatment, ED point-of-care testing speeds up turnaround time and helps you accelerate patient flow.

Assess kidney function

Creatinine results at the point of care can help you identify patients at risk of acute kidney injury (AKI). Quickly assess your patient's kidney status before CT or MRI scans to determine if there’s a risk of contrast-induced nephropathy. [4] Also, creatinine and urea results can help you assess dehydration as well as gastrointestinal bleeding. [5,6]

Make timely diagnoses of MI, heart failure and other critical conditions

The ability to rule in or rule out critical conditions without waiting for lab results can help mitigate overcrowding in the ED. With reliable results from point-of-care analyzers in the ED, you can make timely diagnoses of conditions like myocardial infarction, heart failure, respiratory failure, pulmonary embolism and sepsis—without waiting for lab results.

By measuring ßhCG, you can also determine if the patient is pregnant at the point of care and thereby avoid medical procedures that may potentially harm the fetus.

Point-of-care testing reduces waiting time for patient care.

Discover how the Radiometer ED POCT solution supports certainty in the ED

Point-of-care testing has the potential to reduce turnaround time in critical care situations. [1,7]

 

Comprehensive and connected, the Radiometer ED point-of-care testing (POCT) solution can help reduce turnaround time by giving you reliable results at the point of care with:

ABL90 FLEX PLUS blood gas analyzer

Compact blood gas analyzer that delivers blood gas results from 19 parameters including creatinine and urea in 35 seconds.

safePICO samplers

Blood gas syringes designed for homogeneous samples.

AQT90 FLEX immunoassay analyzer

Immunoassay analyzer that tests for nine different biomarkers to support healthcare institutions that need to accelerate patient flow. Results in 11-21 minutes.

AQURE POC IT solution

Device-to-lab connectivity with 24/7 management and easy remote maintenance.

Patient safety is at the center of everything we do and determines the procedures, our activities and all other actions performed in the ED.
