Luxo开发的放大器提高了医院实验室工作人员的安全

 
 
一种新开发的放大器提供了更大视野的透镜，配备了无闪烁的光源，没有频闪观测仪的影响，为实验室操作人员与血液样本之间提供了良好的保护屏障。

这种新型放大器同样还能够保护医院门诊抗凝诊所的工作人员提供保护。例如在Ealing医院(Southall, UK)，护士和静脉切开操作人员对应用抗凝剂华法令治疗的患者常规采血。该检测需要在床边使用毛细血管样本采集技术，该方法一直广泛使用，能够对患者进行及时治疗。毛细血管样本从患者手指采集，手工注入试管中。在此过程中，血液会接触工作台面或者操作人员的衣服。而新型Magnifique II能够作为一种屏障减少医护人员被污染的危险。这种放大器是由Luxo公司(Mitcham, UK)开发的。
 
Magnifier Increases Safety for Lab Workers
 
A newly developed magnifier offers a large viewing lens with good flicker-free light and no stroboscopic effects, providing a barrier of protection between the operator and blood samples in laboratories.

The new magnifier can also protect those working in hospital outpatient anticoagulant clinics. For example, at Ealing Hospital (Southall, UK), nurses and phlebotomists carry out routine blood tests on patients taking Warfarin, an anticoagulant drug. The test involves a capillary sample technique at “point of care,” a process widely used to allow immediate treatment of the patient. A capillary blood sample is drawn from the patient’s finger and transferred by hand pipette into a testing chamber. During the process, blood could come into contact with the work surfaces or the operator’s clothing. The new Magnifique II functions as a barrier that reduces the danger of contamination to the healthcare worker. The magnifier was developed by Luxo (Mitcham, UK).
