Specialists by blood
The history of Radiometer as we know it today began in 1954 when Radiometer developed the world’s first commercially available blood gas analyzer. Since then, we have refined our blood gas testing knowledge and experience and continue to advance our acute care diagnostic solutions.
What we’ve done to support you as a caregiver
Also, the vented safeTIPCAP limits the risk of blood contact while helping you expel air bubbles from the sample safely.
It seals the sample and minimizes the likelihood of operators contact with patient blood, even during transport and analysis.
Barcode connects patient with sample
The pre-barcoded safePICO Aspirator syringe helps ensure correct patient-sample identification every time when using with a Radiometer blood gas analyzer with 1st Automatic.
1st Automatic combines blood gas analyzers, pre-barcoded safePICO syringes and FLEXLINK data management system. Synergistically, these elements can easily ensure patient identification at the bedside, streamline workflow efficiency, and minimize the likelihood of misattributed or lost samples.
Why mixing is important in the preanalytical phase
Commonly reported pre-analytical errors are clots and hemolysis both of which are related to mixing.
The safePICO Aspirator syringe is designed to help you mix your sample.
