Advanced Technology Blood Gas/Critical Care Analyzers
Using a unique combination of advanced optical and electrode technology, the Stat Profile pHOx series analyzers offer essential blood gas and critical care test menus in the smallest analyzers currently available. The three test Stat Profile pHOx Basic offers the standard blood gas profile of pH, PCO2 and PO2. The six test Stat Profile pHOx menu adds measured hematocrit, hemoglobin and oxygen saturation to provide a complete picture of lung function and oxygen status.
Stat Profile pHOx Plus adds glucose, sodium, potassium, and a choice of chloride or ionized calcium, resulting in an ideal critical care menu in a small, space-saving instrument. Stat Profile pHOx Plus C offers both chloride and ionized calcium. Stat Profile pHOx Plus L menu includes lactate
Small Size - Big Output Stat Profile pHOx analyzers measure only 12" wide x 12" deep x 15" high, and are light enough for easy transport on a compact cart. But don't let their small size fool you. Stat Profile pHOx analyzers carry enough on-board reagents to perform 7500 tests and contain a full month's supply of controls
All Liquid Calibration System
A new, liquid only calibration system eliminates bulky gas tanks, gas regulators, gas tubing lines, and humidifiers. A single reagent pack contains all calibrators. This integrated gas and reagent package system replaces up to five individual reagent bottles and two gas tanks with a simple, snap-in reagent package. The single reagent pack also eliminates the need to maintain logs and run both calibration and QC procedures each time one of the bottles or tanks needs to be replaced.
On-Board, Automated Cartridge QC
Nova's auto-cartridge QC is a totally automated quality control system contained within a single on-board control cartridge. This unique system combines multiple levels of true controls and dedicated software allowing any level of quality control to be run at any time — either on a pre-programmed schedule or on demand. This system dramatically lowers costs by reducing the time and labor required to manually perform quality control.
Small Sample Volume
Blood conservation is an important initiative in every critical care department, especially the NICU. Stat Profile pHOx analyzer sample volumes are among the smallest in the industry.
Fast Stat Results
All test results from Stat Profile pHOx analyzers are available within less than a minute.
Remote Control
The remote control function allows complete control of remote analyzers from Nova’s Point-of-Care Manager (PDM) workstation. The analyzer status can be reviewed and, if needed, analyzer calibration, maintenance and on-board QC testing can be initiated remotely. It also allows for any test to be enabled or disabled, or operator passwords to be enabled or disabled.
Connectivity and Process Automation
Complete process automation begins with the placement of Stat Profile pHOx analyzers at any point-of-care location. An unlimited number of analyzers can be interfaced with the Nova Point-of-Care Manager (PDM) located in the central laboratory which is in turn interfaced with the LIS. The point-of-care system:
- Automates creation of test orders and accession numbers
- Automates data entry of test results
- Enables remote review of test results by the central laboratory
- Interfaces to the LIS and HIS for complete data capture
- Stat Profile pHOx analyzers weigh less than 20 pounds (9 kg) and are easily transported on the optional pHOx Cart with an uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
- The Stat Profile pHOx sampler is designed for fast, easy use and operator safety using syringe or capillary samples. For samples in syringes, the sampling probe automatically positions itself at the optimal angle. For capillary samples, the sampler automatically presents a universal capillary sampling port in a horizontal position to prevent spillage or dripping
