Siemens Healthineers announced the new RAPIDPoint 500e Blood Gas System, the latest solution in critical point-of-care testing. The new system generates blood gas, electrolyte and metabolyte results used to diagnose and monitor critically ill patients typically in the intensive care unit, operating room or emergency room. The RAPIDPoint 500e Blood Gas System is available now in all countries requiring the CE mark.
Developed with extensive customer feedback, the RAPIDPoint 500e system is designed to elevate confidence in patient results with Integri-sense Technology, streamline workflow with improved simplicity and raise the bar in data security.
“Clinicians need an intuitive blood gas testing solution that provides accurate results in a secure environment” said Dr. Christoph Pedain, Head of Point of Care Diagnostics, Siemens Healthineers. “In addition, cybersecurity is becoming a key operational factor. Healthcare providers must protect confidential operator and patient information.”
“As an ICU physician, I know that the values I am handed during an emergency allow me to confidently make life-saving decisions. The RAPIDPoint system is easy to use and allows me to not worry about the machine and focus my attention on my patients,” said Dr. Daniel Martin, Royal Free Hospital, London.
The RAPIDPoint 500e system also integrates seamlessly into hospital networks with the Siemens Healthineers Point of Care Ecosystem™ which offers convenient, remote management of operators and devices located across multiple sites.
