Radiometer’s ABL90 FLEX blood gas analyser puts time on your side

Oct. 26, 2011 - PRLog -- Radiometer’s award-winning, cassette-based ABL90 FLEX analyser provides healthcare professionals with blood gas results in only 35 seconds, significantly decreasing time spent on testing and increasing time available for patient care.  A 2010 Medical Design Excellence Awards and Good Design Award winner, as well as recipient of a prestigious Red Dot Design Award 2011, the ABL90 FLEX is intended specifically for point-of-care testing and measures 17 parameters – including blood gas, electrolytes, metabolites and CO-oximetry – from just 65 μL of whole blood.

Radiometer’s focus on reducing the time spent with the analyser has resonated with experts and customers alike. Christopher Price, visiting Professor in Clinical Biochemistry at the University of Oxford, UK, said: “Healthcare professionals need to make clinical decisions rapidly and reliably, and having an instrument that enables this helps to increase ICU capacity and improve patient outcome, putting time on your side.” Staff at the Luton and Dunstable Hospital were equally impressed, as Natalie Smith, Principle Biochemist, explained: “When we first introduced the ABL90 FLEX to laboratory staff they were really impressed with its compact size and very short turnaround time. It is very fast; blood samples can be analysed every 60 seconds, taking just 35 seconds from test to result.”


The new ABL90 FLEX is supported by a comprehensive training package which includes face-to-face staff training and competency testing compliant with CPA guidelines, and can be connected to Radiometer’s AQURE Data Management System, allowing full remote monitoring and management of end-users.
