Point-of-care cardiac assays shorten turnaround times in emergency departments

Radiometer, the world-renowned provider of point-of-care blood gas analysers, has used its expertise in acute clinical testing to develop a compact and cost-effective immunoassay analyser for measuring critical biomarkers at the patient’s bedside.

The AQT90 FLEX uses advanced technology to accurately measure a range of biochemical parameters, including Troponin I and Troponin T, at the point of patient care, ensuring a fast and accurate process for ruling-in or ruling-out patients for further assessment or urgent treatment.

The AQT90 FLEX is an easy-to-use, safe and compact analyser, based on a closed tube system which eliminates the risk of users coming into contact with blood or waste products. Cardiac markers, coagulation markers, infection markers and pregnancy markers can be measured from a single sample, with no sample preparation required. With results in just 20 minutes, the AQT90 FLEX saves time and cuts costs by improving patient flow and reducing the number of unnecessary procedures requested by emergency departments and medical admissions units.
