Nova Biomedical announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted 510(k) clearance for a micro capillary sample mode on the Stat Profile Prime Plus Critical Care analyzer.
Prime Plus now performs an 11-test panel including pH, PCO2, PO2, Na, K, iCa, iMg, Cl, glucose, lactate, and hematocrit with just 90 microliters of capillary blood, or a complete 22-test profile on just 135 microliters of blood. The micro capillary sampling mode adds to Prime Plus blood conservation capabilities for critical care diagnostic testing and is available as a standard feature on all Prime Plus analyzers.
