RAPIDPoint® 500 Blood Gas Analyzer from Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics delivers accurate, laboratory-quality test results for a comprehensive menu of critical care parameters in approximately 60 seconds, all from a single, whole-blood sample. The same RAPIDPoint® 500 Blood Gas Analyzer has been proven to address the need for accurate process analytics in all stages of development of bioprocessing applications.
- Hands-free sample port minimizes contamination risks
- Automated sample aspiration
- Fast and flexible point-of-care and near process design
- Preset custom panels
- Adjustable touch screen
- Results generated in 60 seconds
- Accommodates different sample temperatures
Testing parameters include pH and blood gases, electrolytes, glucose, lactate, and fully integrated CO-oximetry, including neonatal bilirubin (nBili) and total hemoglobin (tHb). For Bioreactor applications, monitors pH, O2, CO2, Glucose, lactate and other critical electrolytes and metabolites.
To give you more confidence in your results, the RAPIDPoint 500 Blood Gas System uses Siemens technology, which has been performance-proven for more than a decade. Maximize uptime with 28-day measurement cartridge containing a full complement of critical care and bioprocessing analytes without gas tanks or reagent bottles. Preserve sample integrity and improve safety with a hands-free sample port, automated sample aspiration, self-cleaning probe, and clot-detection features. Minimize risk with cartridge-based system design, integrated planar sensors, and patented slide cell technology for CO-oximetry. Ensure accuracy and simplify compliance with automatic QC and calibration systems.
The system features a fast and flexible point-of-care and near-bioreactor design. Count on RAPIDPoint 500 systems to be ready to use without slowing down hospital staff or bioprocessing operators with complex operating procedures and maintenance tasks. RAPIDPoint 500 systems enable users to perform faster testing with greater accuracy. Increase efficiency with preset custom panels for the most frequently used tests; just scan the ID, insert sample, and touch Start.
Optimize viewing and reduce glare with an adjustable touch screen. Ensure error-free data capture with an integrated bar-code reader for fast, single-handed scans of patient or operator ID. Improve ease of use with a single sample port that accepts syringe or capillary samples without adapters. Reduce downtime with 28-day measurement and AQC cartridges. Minimize delays for STAT patient samples and bioprocess corrections by interrupting automatic QC and calibration functions. Simplify training and day-to-day operation with built-in instructional videos. Upgrade software and back up results quickly and easily with USB ports. Communicate simultaneously with up to two laboratory information or data management systems over serial and Ethernet ports. System also supports wireless roaming. Create hard copies of results in just 60 seconds using the integrated printer.
