Raise the benchmark for handheld point of care testingepoc Blood Analysis System with the NXS Host
Help improve workflow and the clinical experience with the epoc Blood Analysis System. The epoc System is a handheld, bedside solution that provides lab-accurate blood gas, electrolyte, and metabolite (BGEM) results at the patient’s side in less than 1 minute from sample application.
The epoc System consists of three components: the NXS Host mobile computer, the, and the BGEM Test Card. The single-use Test Card has 13 analytes and requires no refrigeration.
A simple user interface guides the clinician through every step of the testing process. Test results are color coded to clearly distinguish between results that are normal or out of range. Wireless connectivity allows communication directly with other members of the care team.

Transforming Care Delivery at Huntsville Hospital
Huntsville Hospital reduced their (sepsis) mortality rate by ~50% as part of a sepsis program.
“For every hour you wait to give an antibiotic, the mortality for that patient increases 8%, so now that we have the handheld device, the nurse can get those results within 3 minutes, and we know how to treat that patient.” —Carissa Hicks, RN, Huntsville Hospital
“We are talking 30 mins on a test and that is a STAT because that is just the process. That’s just how long it takes there’s nothing you can do about that” —Kristie Campbell, Huntsville Hospital
