The epoc™ point of care blood analysis system

The epoc™ point of care blood analysis system is the first and only wireless bedside testing solution to use Smart Card technology. This breakthrough technology provides state-of-the-art lab results directly to a hand-held Mobile Computer. It’s easy to use. It requires no refrigeration of consumables. It interfaces with your facility’s existing wireless system. And in most cases it does it all for less than you’re spending now waiting for lab results.

The quality of test results from the epoc system are equal to or better than the results generated by traditional blood gas or chemistry analyzers run in a laboratory. Why? Because, once fresh blood is passed across biosensors on the epoc test card, results are sent to your Mobile Computer in just 30 seconds. Other systems often require more time between sample acquisition, sample entry and analysis and can result in sample degradation and possibly compromised results.

epoc is significantly more cost effective to implement and use than other POC systems. In fact, the operational costs for the epoc system are usually equal to (or less than!) the cost of testing with conventional analyzers.

epoc test cards are single-use bar code identified units containing a biosensor array, calibration solution and fluidics. Test cards generate electrochemical assay signals and quality control signals which are read by detectors in the epoc Reader.

Upon insertion of a test card, the epoc Reader scans the card’s bar code, initiates sensor calibration and provides thermal control of the assay. It reads electrochemical signals and quality control signals from the test card and converts them to a secure wireless transmission format.

The epoc mobile computer, a customized Mobile Computer, can receive transmitted signals from one or more epoc Readers. The Mobile Computer associates the test results and reader ID with a patient ID and user ID–scanned or manually entered – to complete the test record. The complete test record is wirelessly transmitted to the epoc Data Manager for further compliance reporting, analysis and system management.
