Radiometer A/S研制出1st自动分析仪

 
一种新型血气分析系统使用自动化、信息化以及样本取样器技术，来确保采样和患者识别的正确性，同时增加操作者的安全性并减少检测时间。

这套系统叫做1st自动分析仪，由三个部分组成:条带预编码safePico血液取样器，配备取样器队列模块的ABL Flex血气分析仪， 以及Flexlink软件。使用这套软件，操作者能够扫描或者输入身份，prebarcoded safePico 取样器和患者身份。这套软件连接在一起，能够储存这三个重要识别符，在床边即可完成，减少了采样错误和患者识别的危险。一旦采样器被置于分析仪的队列模块中，分析仪就能够“识别”特定采样器条带编码，并取回所有与之相关的信息。

由于是全自动的，血气测量也更快，出错可能也更小。分析仪队列模块最多可以放置三个取样器。一旦完成鉴别，每个样本都被自动混合，正确鉴别的结果可以根据操作平台的不同来提供给操作人员：个人数字助手(PDA)，患者监测器，信息系统，或者分析仪。

safePico动脉取样器随车携带的安全装置，提供单手操作方式，安全地去除针头，从而增加操作者的安全。 同样，操作者可以使用吸头帽来快速排除所有气泡，避免与患者血液接触。1st自动分析仪是由Radiometer A/S (Copenhagen, Denmark)研制开发成功的。

Safer Blood-Gas Analysis System
 
A new blood-gas analysis system uses automation, information, and sampler technology to help ensure correct sample and patient identification, while increasing operator safety and reducing the time spent on testing.

The system, called 1st automatic, consists of three elements: the prebarcoded safePico blood sampler, the ABL Flex blood gas analyzer with a sampler queue module, and the Flexlink software. With this software, operators can scan or enter their identification, the prebarcoded safePico sampler, and the patient identification. The software links together and stores these three critical identifiers, right at the bedside, reducing the risk of incorrect sample and patient identification. Once the sampler is placed on the analyzer’s queue module, the analyzer “recognizes” the unique sampler barcode and retrieves all information associated with it.

Since they are fully automated, the blood-gas measurements are also faster and less error-prone. Up to three samplers can be placed on the analyzer’s queue module. Once identified, each sample is automatically mixed and the correctly identified result is then made available to caregivers on their platform of choice: personal digital assistant (PDA), patient monitor, information system, or the analyzer itself.

An onboard safety device on the safePico arterial sampler offers one-hand operation for safe removal of needles, which helps to increase operator safety. Also, operators can use the tip cap to quickly expel all air bubbles and avoid contact with patient blood. 1st automatic was developed by Radiometer A/S (Copenhagen, Denmark).
