Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document discusses new diagnostic technologies designed for rapid decision-making in Intensive Care Units (ICUs). It emphasizes the importance of timely results to improve patient outcomes.

epoc® System
The epoc® System is a handheld, wireless device that provides blood gas, electrolyte, and metabolite results at the patient's bedside within approximately 30 seconds. This system enhances patient safety, provider satisfaction, workflow, and operational efficiencies by streamlining the testing process. Key features include immediate wireless access to critical test results, real-time integration into clinical workflows, and reduced errors by eliminating unnecessary steps.

Enterprise Data Management (EDM)
The EDM system allows access through any computer on the hospital network and connects seamlessly to hospital Laboratory and Hospital Information Systems (LIS/HIS) via an HL7 interface. It offers comprehensive management of the epoc® System, interfaces, and users.

Rapid Molecular Systems
This section highlights a rapid molecular system that combines speed and accuracy for detecting infections. It includes portable devices with visual touchscreen displays, suitable for various healthcare settings. Available tests include Alere™ i Influenza A & B and Alere™ i Strep A, with more tests like RSV and Ct/Ng coming soon.

C. DIFF QUIK CHEK COMPLETE®
This rapid cassette assay detects both glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) antigen and toxins A & B of C. difficile in fecal specimens, following guideline-recommended algorithms with a single test. It aids in diagnosing C. difficile disease.

Alere BinaxNOW® Assays
These rapid assays detect specific antigens in various samples, providing results faster than traditional culture methods. They include:

Staphylococcus aureus: Detects S. aureus from blood culture samples, guiding targeted antibiotic treatment.
Streptococcus pneumoniae: Detects S. pneumoniae antigen in urine and CSF, reducing mortality rates associated with pneumonia and meningitis.
Legionella: Detects Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 antigen in urine samples, aiding in pneumonia diagnosis.

Conclusion
The document concludes by emphasizing the importance of having the right information at the right time to make informed clinical decisions. It provides ordering information for various products discussed.
