The DCA Vantage Analyzer is the diabetes system that delivers clinically proven, clinically relevant HbA1c and A:C Ratio results shown to improve patient compliance. It’s simple enough to use in your office lab, and yet powerful enough to deliver lab-quality performance in point-of-care coordinated sites.

A point-of-care immunoassay analyzer for diabetes management. It provides precise and accurate quantitative test results for HbA1c in whole blood during the patient visit. With a single urine sample, the analyzer also provides quantitative test results for low levels of Albumin, Creatinine and A:C Ratio in the physician office or clinic. There is no sample or reagent preparation required. Simply load test cartridge with sample onto system and walk away and spend more time with patients. The analyzer automatically generates test results and provides a printed record that can be affixed to the patient file and/or uploaded to a network or LIS/HIS.

Features:

• Only 1uL of whole blood needed for HbA1c testing
• HbA1c results in 6 minutes. Receive actionable results during the patient visit reducing follow-up time and increasing diabetes patient compliance
• Microalbumin testing allows for early detection of kidney disease – results available in 7 minutes
• No sample or reagent preparation needed allowing for simple and efficient operation
• Printed patient records and electronic transmission to LIS or electronic medical record allows for reduced transcription errors
• Trending graphs enable more comprehensive patient disease management

Multistix PRO Urinalysis Strips along with the Clinitek 50 Urine Chemistry Analyzer automates your

Description:

The mini VIDAS is a compact version of the VIDAS system with a built-in computer, keyboard and printer. Two independent sections each accept six tests and can process up to 12 samples simultaneously.

This automated immunoassay system is reliable and economical. It uses ELFA (Enzyme Linked Fluorescent Assay) technology, has no carryover risks, requires a one-point recalibration every 14 days and optimizes the cost per batch of single-sample testing. In addition, the menu of available assays is constantly growing.

The mini VIDAS is a multiparametric analyzer. It allows your laboratory to run more than one compatible assay in a section at a time, and each section operates independently from the other.

VIDAS tests are presented in individual, ready-to-use form. Each test is composed of a strip and a SPR.

Two words describe this system: simple and rapid. Maintenance is minimal and most results are available in 40-80 minutes. Plus, reagents are ready to use in a single-dose format.

Features:

* No carry over risks
* Needs only one-point recalibration every 14 days
* Ready-to-use
* Single-dose reagents
* 30 or 60 tests per package
* Minimal maintenance
* Recertified with 90 day parts warranty
* Reagents, controls, and consumables may be available
* Service contracts may be available
