Be Where Your Patients Need You Most

Advance care delivery by bringing critical testing patient-side

Request more info

What could happen when critical testing results are securely delivered patient-side in less than 1 minute with a system that securely connects the entire care team?

With the epoc® Blood Analysis System as the nexus of care, caregivers and the laboratory can stay connected to what’s important—being where patients need them most. 

Be where patients need you most

Make patient-side testing the nexus of care hospital-wide with the epoc Blood Analysis System

Patient-side testing is about more than a location. It’s about staying focused on the patient. The system connects the entire team, so it doesn’t matter if the laboratory staff and caregivers work in different parts of the hospital. Empowered by the epoc® Blood Analysis System, they stand together to advance care delivery. 

The epoc® system connects the patient, actionable test results,

the care team, and the therapy they deliver.

Patient diagnosis and treatment may happen faster. The hospital may make better use of resources. Patient safety may be enhanced with a simplified testing process and integrated positive patient ID. The streamlined testing workflow could help reduce costs. Outcomes could improve, and a complete, consistent clinical picture would be accessible across the care continuum.

    Healthcare providers spend more time with the patient to drive faster diagnosis and treatment decisions.

    How can enhanced safety and a simplified testing process provide confidence and peace of mind?

    Integrated Patient Safety


    Enhance patient safety with a secure, wireless connection to confirm real-time patient identification to mitigate data entry and transcription errors

    “The purpose of the 2017 National Patient Safety Goals is to improve patient safety. Two goals highlighted to address problems were to identify patients correctly and improve staff communication.”

    Integrated Patient Safety

    With easy access to test cards available at the patient’s side spend less time on more complex workflows to get actionable results.

    Results can be available in less than 1 minute and accurately reflect patient’s immediate condition.

    “The immediate introduction at the bedside of a patient’s blood sample into an epoc test card minimizes preanalytical sample degradation.”

    Patient-side testing simplifies the process, eliminating sample transport and pre-analytical sample degradation to provide accurate results.

    Traditional testing models require multiple steps including transport to a stationary analyzer which takes up precious time that may delay availability of results.

    We are talking 30 mins on a test and that is a STAT because that is just the process. That’s just how long it takes there’s nothing you can do about that

    What does a single room temperature stable test card with barcoded expiration deliver?

    The epoc system lets you be where patients need you most.

                                       


                                                                                     

    Freedom to focus on where you bring the most value to patient care.
    Barcoded test cards automate quality assurance and a single room temperature stable test card streamlines inventory management.

    Empowered by Design

    Automated quality assurance eliminating the risk of running expired reagents further mitigating risk of diagnosis and treatment based on erroneous results.                                                                                                                                                                         

    “Each reagent for the epoc has direct bar coding, ensuring easy traceability.”

    Shweta Agarwal, MD, Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children’s Hospital

    Empowered by Design

    Streamlined inventory management by doing away with the manual tracking of reagents once removed from refrigeration.

    “The epoc system uses a single test card with all the different analytes whereas a competitor system uses multiple test cartridges for the same results. Lastly, the smart card technology of epoc reduces cost and maximizes efficiency in the hospital setting.”

    Transforming Care Delivery at Huntsville Hospital

    Huntsville Hospital reduced their (sepsis) mortality rate by ~50% as art of a sepsis program.

    For every hour you wait to give an antibiotic, the mortality for that patient increases 8%, so now that we have the handheld device, the nurse can get those results within 3 minutes, and we know how to treat that patient.
