HemoCue
DM Hemoglobin Module
Interfaced to RALS®-Plus
Charlottesville,
VA – September
4, 2003 – Medical Automation Systems, Inc. (MAS;
Charlottesville, VA) announces the addition of HemoCue’s DM
Hemoglobin device to its RALS-Plus POC module menu.
Available
in the latest RALS-Plus release (version 1.2.1),
this bi-directional interface provides total configuration and
management of HemoCue’s hemoglobin device using a single data
management system. This
includes managing operator certifications and comments and
accessing a host of functions including QC reports and patient
data, Levey-Jennings and Linearity reports through the RALS-Plus
interface.
HemoCue Hemoglobin devices
provide an opportunity for quick, simple and reliable
quantitative Hemoglobin results with the same performance as a
large hematology analyzer. The dual wavelength photometers
correct for lipemia, leucocytosis and other sources of
turbidity. Any blood source (capillary, venous or arterial) can
be used. Transfusion decisions, EPO dosing and anemia screenings
can be appropriately performed immediately and at the point of
care. The unbreakable, disposable cuvette collects the exact
amount of blood and mixes the sample with the reagents
automatically. The cuvette is placed into the portable
photometer. Results appear on the display screen in less than a
minute.
HemoCue
(www.hemocue.com)
develops, produces, and markets medical diagnostic
products for point-of-care testing. The fundamental concept
behind the HemoCue products is to perform common blood tests at
the point-of-care without sacrificing the accuracy and precision
offered by a central clinical lab.
The HemoCue product line is sold in more than 75
countries through a highly effective organization consisting of
independent distributor partners and subsidiaries.
HemoCue is
a company that has developed a keen sensitivity for the needs of
customers in primary health care settings and a focus on
preventative health care opportunities. Given current global
trends in these areas, we are convinced our products will
continue to provide valuable opportunities on a world wide
basis, for a long time to come.
