Precision PCx® Point-of-Care System

The Precision PCx point of care blood glucose monitoring system is a whole-blood, patient-side testing system for healthcare professionals. Ergonomic and easy to use, the system provides fast, accurate results. Automatic upload of results to hospital and laboratory information systems enables powerful data management capabilities.

The Precision PCx system offers features that help reduce risk by reducing the chance of errors.

Reduces Interference Risk

• Glucose-specific strip technology reduces interference risk for many substances.
• Minimizes interference from many non-glucose substances in the blood, including maltose, fructose, galactose, and sucrose.
• Patient safe for patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis using Extraneal™ (icodextrin).
• Individually foil wrapped and bar-coded strips help reduce risk of contamination and helps assure use of fresh reagents for each test.

Reduces Risk of Sampling Errors

• Test will not begin until adequate sample is detected, reducing risk of short-sampling and over-sampling errors.

Reduces Risk of Operator Errors

• Easy-to-use, ergonomic meter with simple steps allows one hand operation by busy nursing staff.
• Integrated barcode scanning of patient, operator and strip lot helps reduce risk of manual data entry errors.
• No subjective calibration step required
• Easy blood application—no subjective dosing step required
• Fast test results streamline bedside testing

Reduces Compliance Risk

• Automated lockout features help enforce point-of-care QC standards.
• Seamless integration with LIS/HIS and POC data management systems, including Abbott’s QC Manager, allow automated capture and management of POCT data to meet compliance requirements
