epoc® Blood Analysis System with epoc® NXS Host

Advance care delivery by bringing critical testing patient-side

The epoc® Blood Analysis System revolutionizes patient care by delivering critical test results in under a minute, securely connecting caregivers and laboratories for seamless collaboration. With real-time, patient-side diagnostics, healthcare teams can make faster, informed decisions, ensuring efficient and timely interventions where they are needed most. This advanced system acts as the nexus of care, optimizing workflows and enhancing patient outcomes through secure, integrated communication.

Features & Benefits

The epoc system connects the patient, actionable test results, the care team, and the therapy they deliver.

Enhance patient care and hospital efficiency with a streamlined testing workflow that accelerates diagnosis and treatment, optimizes resource utilization, and strengthens patient safety through integrated positive patient ID. This cost-effective approach improves outcomes, ensuring a consistent clinical picture across the care continuum for better, data-driven healthcare decisions.

Actionable results in less than 1 minute at the patient's side.

Results reflect that patient’s immediate condition, not their condition 30 minutes ago.

Leverage centralized control of decentralized testing with secure, wireless communication and our POC Informatics Solutions

The epoc system provides bidirectional communication with POCcelerator data manager, allowing caregivers the ability for device, operator and inventory management, along with quality control. This provides the ability to proactively manage data across the hospital, giving you centralized control over decentralized testing.
