Introducing the GEM® Premier™ 7000 with iQM®3 system, now with hemolysis detection

A breakthrough in blood gas testing. For the first time at the point of care, hemolysis—which accounts for up to 70% of all preanalytical errors and can elevate potassium results up to 152% ^1,2 — is flagged, and in just 45 seconds. This helps improve the quality of critical results throughout the hospital.
