Get the accuracy and reliability you’ve come to trust in an easy-to-use, maintenance-free instrument designed to perform in point-of-care environments.

The solution offers:

• Full test menu results from a single sample in approximately 60 seconds
• Easy-to-use, maintenance-free cartridge-based system is ideal for non-laboratory personnel
• Proven technologies and design features help to maximize analyzer uptime and simplify compliance
• Speed and flexibility to increase productivity without increasing staff workload
• Seamless LIS/HIS integration with optional connectivity to the RAPIDComm^® Data Management System

RAPIDPoint 500 System parameters

• 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

In addition to measured and calculated parameters, the RAPIDPoint 500 system can be optionally set up to record key ventilator settings to help enhance clinical decision making:

• Flow
• Respiratory Rate
• Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
• Positive End Expiratory Pressure
• Peak Inspiratory Pressure
• Tidal Volume
• Allen Test

• Scan, insert, and analyze—with test results in approximately 60 seconds
• Adjustable, color touch screen supports 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
• Port design automates sample aspiration making hands-free testing process bio-safe and independent of operator technique
• Fully automated calibration and quality control systems help ensure accuracy and support compliance without operator interaction

• Sample port designed to minimize bubbles and detect and clear clots
• Self-cleaning probe helps maintain sample integrity
• A single cartridge delivers all required reagents to support a full complement of tests for interruption-free operation
• Planar sensor technology helps ensure industry-proven accuracy and reliability
• Whole blood, slide cell technology for Co-oximetry including tHb and nBili has been proven since 2003; no hemolytic agents to interfere with sample or increase maintenance requirements
• On-board, 28-day AQC cartridge requires no operator intervention
• No routine maintenance

• 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
• Test full menu from a single sample or customize panels to meet specific needs
• Set user privileges based on operator needs for testing, administration, and reporting
• Approximately 60 seconds to result; fast turnaround time delivered from a compact system

• Supports wireless roaming
• Seamless integration to LIS/HIS systems
• On-board bar-code scanner helps ensure data integrity
• Dual port LIS transmission and USB ports simplify data back-ups
• Advanced control and connectivity via RAPIDComm Data Management System.

  From a single RAPIDComm workstation, remotely:

  • Configure, monitor, and control networked POC analyzers
  • Manage patient samples and central interface to hospital system
  • Centralize operator management and QC processes and documentation

Also supports additional sample types: Pleural fluid pH as well as Na⁺, K⁺, Ca⁺⁺, Cl^–, pH, pCO2, and HCO-_3(act)^† for dialysate fluid^‡ samples.
