Immunoassay Analyzer POC Diagnostic Tool for Venous Thromboembolism

A compact and cost-effective point of care (POC) immunoassay analyzer offers rapid turnaround times for determination of critical biomarkers, such as D-dimer, and provides a valuable diagnostic tool for ruling out venous thromboembolism (VTE).

The easy-to-use AQT90 FLEX can simultaneously measure cardiac markers, coagulation markers, infection markers, and pregnancy markers from a single sample. No sample preparation is required, and, as a closed tube system, the risk of users coming into contact with blood or waste products is eliminated.

A product of Radiometer (Crawley, United Kingdom), the compact, cost-effective AQT90 FLEX enables clinicians to perform rapid, accurate, POC D-dimer measurements in less than 20 minutes. AQT90 FLEX delivers complete data capture with continuous synchronization of analyzers and laboratory information systems/hospital information systems (LIS/HIS).

The Radiance software solution provides complete remote control that emulates the data control and flow of a central laboratory, with the potential to encompass multiple hospitals within a region.

Reports have estimated that 25,000 people die annually as a result of VTE, and that more than 10,000 lives could be saved if all patients were screened on admission to hospital. Patients with negative D-dimer test results are at very low risk of VTE. Rapid point-of-care testing with the AQT90 FLEX saves time and reduces costs by improving patient flow and decreasing the number of unnecessary procedures requested.
