First developed to provide coaches, athletes and clinicians with an accurate and easy-to-use mobile lactate test, this year at Medica, EKF Diagnostics launched Lactate Scout+ with new features and functionality, allowing the handheld device to be used in new medical applications too.
Lactate Scout+ for simple, accurate and reliable lactate measurement in three easy steps. The pocket-size device is easy to use, requires just a 0.2 ul of capillary blood and delivers results within 10 seconds.
About the Lactate Scout+ device:
• Lactate measurement, date, time, mode, temperature and memory ID on a single display
• Step by step instructions on display
• Single and step test measurements (resting/exercise/recreation)
• Pre-calibrated sensors
• Integrated Bluetooth connectivity
• Stores up to 250 results
• CE marked
Another EKF Diagnostics device that is fairly new to the market is the STAT-Site M BHB®.
STAT-Site M β -HB® allows the user to determine the presence and degree of ketosis by measuring blood levels of β -HB. Using only 10 ul of serum or plasma, a quantitative result is displayed in less than 80 seconds.
About the STAT-Site M β -HB® device:
• Monitor diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in newly diagnosed patients
• Quantitative results of β-hydroxybutyrate ketone
• Results within 80 seconds
• CE marked
Knowing β-HB levels offers useful information for monitoring diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in newly diagnosed patients and for reducing time and costs in an intensive care unit.
