Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics has launched the RAPIDPoint 500 Blood Gas System, its latest cartridge-based point-ofcare
analyser for critical care testing. Available worldwide, the RAPIDPoint 500 system leverages proven Siemens technology to ensure reliable results and reduce downtime, while also offering new features designed for ease-of-use at the point of care (POC). The demand for POC testing is growing in the hospital setting. Clinicians are increasingly relying on critical-care tests, such as blood gas, to deliver fast, accurate results to help guide important treatment decisions. Given the wide variety of clinicians that use these tests, POC analysers need to be ready to use and easy to operate so that hospital staff are not slowed down with complex operating procedures and maintenance tasks.
