product from others on the
market?

Powerful QC package uses patient
results for real-time QC monitoring;
browser-based dashboard displays
dynamic key performance metrics
to keep workload monitoring front
and center; sample delivery management provides sample tracking
to meet ISO 15189 sample transportation and reception requirements.

Integratable with other vendors’
systems for immediate access to
lab results; generates barcoded
labels; can also be used as an
intermediary between two or more
third-party systems (such as orders,
results, private health information);
custom programming available.

A cost-effective solution that
provides electronic connectivity to
effectively manage POC testing;
ensures real-time electronic capture
of POC testing results in the electronic health record, allowing providers prompt access to results for
quick diagnosis and treatment.
