Advia® 120 Hematology System Features: The Advia 120 system features patented proprietary clinical parameters. Detects abnormalities early and differentiate leukaemia's with cytochemical staining and nuclear complexity. Extensive linearity range, sensitive and specific result flagging, cross-checking WBC technologies and dual hemoglobin readings combine to minimize review rates and repeats
The system features proprietary reagent technology for reliability, convenience and results integrity. The advia 60 hematology system has been designed for effective operation in a variety of clinical settings. Closed tube sampling saves operator time, eliminates bio-hazard exposure.
The Bayer DCA 2000+ analyzer is a point-of-care diabetes management platform that performs both hemoglobin A1c and microalbumin/creatinine tests in minutes. The DCA 2000+ allows healthcare professionals to make immediate diabetes management adjustments. Quantitative measurement of HBA1c in blood allows effective preventive treatment to reduce the risk of retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy in patients with diabetes. The system also measures low concentrations of albumin, creatinine and albumin/creatinine ratio in urine. The method permits decentralized testing using random urine samples, enabling early detection of complications associated with renal disease. Features of the Bayer DCA 260 include: ˇ Totally self-contained reagent cartridges - no reagent preparation, mixing or handling ˇ Sample collection capillary holder is an integral part of unique reagent cartridge ˇ No costly, time-consuming calibration - factory-calibrated instrument eliminates all wet calibrations ˇ Screen displays all instructions, calibration status and testing information and results ˇ Up to 16 results stored in memory for convenient record keeping ˇ Review during patient visit, adjust blood glucose control regimen as appropriate ˇ Conforms with current guidelines for effective management ˇ Guide and reinforce your patients to maintain target blood glucose levels ˇ Quantitative HbA1c value in 6 minutes from capillary blood ˇ Low cost per test ˇ Monoclonal antibody method provides outstanding accuracy and precision ˇ Correlation study shows 99% agreement with the HPLC method ˇ Coefficients of variation ˇ Monoclonal antibody method provides outstanding accuracy and precision ˇ Correlation study shows 99% agreement with HPLC method ˇ Achieving and maintaining near-normoglycemic levels will delay onset of microalbuminuria and clinical albuminuria in IDDM patients ˇ In IDDM (insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus) patients, intensive insulin treatment: ˇ One reagent cartridge provides results for both microalbumin and creatinine as well as an automatic calculation of the albumin-to-creatinine ratio ˇ Quantitative results and calculated ratio displayed within 7 minutes using random urine sample ˇ Maintaining average blood glucose levels (120 mg/dL; 6.7 mmol/L; HbA1c 6%) lowers risk of complications ˇ Three- to four-times-daily blood glucose monitoring is recommended ˇ Establish and follow a coherent approach of combined nutritional counseling, self- management training and possible hospitalization for therapy initiation ˇ Quarterly HbA1c determination recommended for all insulin-treated patients ˇ Recommendation also includes test for microalbuminuria and others, as indicated ˇ Intensive diabetes management delays the onset of microalbuminuria -an early indicator of renal disease ˇ Microalbumin-to-creatinine ratio from a random urine sample is as valid an indicator of microalbuminuria as a timed 24-hour sampling ˇ Persistent microalbuminuria (30 to 300 mg/day) indicates the earliest stage of diabetic nephropathy May also signal presence of hypertension and the need to begin antihypertensive therapy.
