StatStrip Xpress 2 LAC/Hb/Hct Meter & StatStrip XPRESS 2 GLUCOSE/KETONE METER

StatStrip Xpress 2 LAC/Hb/Hct Meter (Lactate, Hemoglobin, and Hematocrit)

Lactate Testing Bedside

StatStrip LAC/Hb/Hct is a point-of-care (POC) system that enables rapid and timely trending of lactate in hypoperfusion during sepsis (or other conditions of hypoperfusion) for assessment of resuscitation or treatment efforts. Compared to testing with blood gas analyzers which require arterial samples, large samples volumes (up to 95 microliters), and long analysis times (up to 2.5 minutes); StatStrip’s single-use biosensor provides the fastest turnaround time (13 seconds) on the smallest whole blood sample (0.6 μL) with excellent correlation to central laboratory reference methods.

Solves Lactate Pre-Analytical issues

Lactate is not stable in whole blood samples. Blood lactate levels rise steeply in less than 5 minutes if samples are transported or kept at room temperature.¹ StatStrip point-of- care testing ensures rapid, accurate results by eliminating sample transport preanalytical effects.

Hemoglobin and Hematocrit Testing Bedside

StatStrip Xpress LAC/Hb/Hct is the only POC system to provide anaemia screening and monitoring with measured, not calculated, Hb and Hct tests. This important breakthrough is possible because of new, patented biosensor technologies developed by Nova Biomedical.

Accurate Assessment of Anemia

Accurate anaemia evaluation requires both measured Hct and measured Hb. However, current POC Hb meters only provide a calculated estimate of Hct. Calculated estimates of Hct are inaccurate in many conditions including red cell structural abnormalities, hemolysis, hemoglobinopathies, and other conditions. These conditions necessitate measured Hct because calculated results can negatively impact treatment.

Smallest and Lightest Meters

StatStrip Xpress LAC/Hb/Hct meters are smaller and lighter than other POC devices that measure lactate or hemoglobin only. StatStrip lightweight, small meters enable testing at the bedside or patient-side.

StatStrip Xpress 2 Glucose/Ketone Meter

The StatStrip Xpress Glucose/Ketone Hospital Meter System offers bidirectional wireless connectivity to hospital HIS or LIS with complete security to protect patient data.

• Wireless connectivity can transmit patient results directly from the bedside, alleviating the need to bring the meter to a fixed location for meter docking and data transmission.
• Wireless connectivity saves time for the caregiver and allows for faster charting of results and clinical decision making to improve patient care.
• Dual-band wireless connectivity provides complete security and encryption to ensure that patient data remains uncompromised.

Measures ketones with same meter

Easy to use

No meter preparation or calibration coding steps are required. Insert a ketone strip and StatStrip Glucose/Ketone meter automatically recognizes the strip and converts the meter to ketone measuring mode.

Blood ketone testing should be performed whenever glucose exceeds 14 mmol/L (250 mg/dL)

Diabetes UK, the Canadian Diabetes Association, the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology, and the American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommend that blood ketone testing be performed whenever glucose exceeds 14 to 17 mmol/L for rapid detection or prevention of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).

StatStrip Glucose/Ketone measures blood beta-hydroxybutyrate, the preferred ketone for diagnosing ketoacidosis

According to the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology, Diabetes UK, ADA, and others, blood ketone testing methods that quantify beta-hydroxybutyrate, the predominant ketone body in DKA, are recommended over urine ketone testing for diagnosing and monitoring ketoacidosis.

Ketone testing results obtained from capillary samples

Capillary blood samples are not only preferred over urine samples to detect and monitor DKA,
they are also easier to obtain and allow for immediate reflex testing of ketones whenever glucose is greater than 14 mmol/L.

Blood ketone monitoring reduces costs and ICU length of stay for DKA patients

An ICU study evaluated the effectiveness of blood ketone testing versus urine ketone testing for DKA patients. The blood ketone testing group of patients left the ICU 6.5 hours earlier than the urine ketone testing group. This led to savings of 22 hours of nursing time and 375 laboratory investigations, for a total savings of €2,940.¹

A second study of DKA patients compared a DKA therapy endpoint of pH > 7.3 and blood ketones < 1.0 mmol/L, versus an endpoint of pH > 7.3 and negative urine ketones. The pH/ blood ketone endpoint was reached after 17 hours, whereas the pH/urine ketone endpoint was not reached until 28 hours after starting treatment. The mean lag between the blood ketone and urine ketone groups was 11 hours, ranging from 1 to 36 hours.²

Blood ketone is more accurate than urine ketone testing

Blood beta-hydroxyburyrate testing indicates the patient’s status at the time of the test, whereas urine may have been in the bladder for several hours. Urine testing can also produce false positive or negative results due to highly colored urine, highly acidic urine, exposure of the urine test strips to air for prolonged periods, drugs such as the ACE inhibitor captopril, or high doses of vitamin C.

Designed for applications that do not need data interfacing and connectivity, Xpress2 retains all of the analytical performance features of StatStrip Glucose.
