Eurotrol, Inc. (Elizabethtown, KY, USA) is demonstrating its innovative, patented packaging concept that will modernize the in vitro diagnostic market at MEDICA 2022 Trade Fair being held in Düsseldorf, Germany from 14-17th November.

Eurotrol’s CueSee Ringe is being touted as the future of blood gas controls. A special glass ampoule is sealed inside the CueSee Ringe device. This ampoule breaks with a simple turning motion without the risk of cutting fingers on glass particles or coming into contact with the liquid. After this activation step, the CueSee Ringe functions identically to a standard syringe. The liquid inside the ampoule is not deteriorated by environmental contamination, which reduces pre-analytical errors. This concept is ideal for solutions typically stored in ampoules for quality control, calibration verification, proficiency testing, competency assessment, method validations, and lot comparisons.

At MEDICA 2022, Eurotrol is also demonstrating a breakthrough product, the CueSee CO-OX. Co-oximetry determines the levels of the various derivatives of hemoglobin (Hb) in a patient’s blood. Being able to accurately detect and measure the amount of oxyhemoglobin available to carry O2 to the cells of the body is essential, as well as measurements of the abnormal Hb derivatives: carboxyhemoglobin and methemoglobin. It is crucial that co-oximetry testing for these fractions are validated and proven to measure all, at normal and abnormal levels. CueSee CO-OX has proven performance to help meet everyone’s needs. Eurotrol has revolutionized quality control for CO-oximeters by developing CueSee CO-OX with real hemoglobin derivatives performing like patient samples. Packaged in the ACU-Drop II, this dual-chambered device keeps the oxyhemoglobin separated from the methemoglobin to provide a long shelf-life.
