Giving clinicians critical information faster

Point-of-care (POC)-based blood gas analysers can support emergency department (ED) clinicians to make timely diagnoses to manage patient flow and ease overcrowding.

The ABL90 FLEX PLUS from Radiometer aids diagnosis of critical conditions such as acute kidney injury, dehydration and gastro-intestinal bleeding – reducing pressure on laboratory turnaround times.

The ABL90 FLEX PLUS is designed for point-of-care testing in busy clinical environments, such as the ED, ICU, NICU or the delivery room where fast results from a very small blood sample are vitally important to make critical diagnostic decisions. The analyser gives reliable results in only 35 seconds on 19 parameters - blood gas, electrolytes, metabolites and co-oximetry - from a syringe, capillary tube or test tube - all on one blood sample of only 65 µL.

This extended panel of critical parameters within blood gas testing gives you more clinical insight here and now, allowing you to act on results and make life-saving diagnostic decisions. With the new addition of creatinine and urea to the blood gas testing menu, the ABL90 FLEX PLUS offers a broader range of critical care parameters on a compact platform. Creatinine and urea results at the point-of-care can give you fast insight into the kidney status of your critically ill patient.
