PO2 Blood Gas Analyzer

Over 50% of patients admitted to the ICU will develop some stage of acute kidney injury (AKI).1 Stat Profile Prime Plus is the only blood gas analyzer to provide whole blood urea (BUN) and creatinine (plus eGFR) test options for rapid assessment of kidney function.

Ionized magnesium (iMg)

Disruptions in the balance of iMg, Na, K, and iCa can cause cardiac arrhythmias, reduced cardiac contraction, and cardiac arrest. Prime Plus is the only blood gas analyzer to provide a comprehensive profile of electrolytes including iMg.

Estimated Plasma Volume (ePV)

Prime Plus analyzers have the unique ability to report estimated plasma volume (ePV), a very important test that assesses the intravascular fluid content of blood, the patent’s hydration status. The plasma volume status of a patient is one of the top priorities in managing many different conditions including shock, sepsis, congestive heart failure, acute or chronic kidney disease, chronic pulmonary disease, as well as general postoperative care.

Prime Plus reports ePV and ΔPV using the Strauss equation which requires measured hemoglobin and measured hematocrit to determine ePV. ePV may be most beneficial when it is measured serially, and thus the change in plasma volume (ΔPV) can also be used to guide fluid therapy.

New Disposable CO-Oximetry Technology Eliminates Maintenance

Prime Plus incorporates a new, patented multi-wavelength optical system that scans a continuous spectrum of optical wavelengths to enable a comprehensive CO-Oximetry panel result without lysing the sample. The optical components in contact with blood are contained in the disposable sensor card.
