Stat Profile Prime® Analyzer

The New Definition of Simplicity for Critical Care Testing Measures: pH   PCO2   PO2   Na   K   Cl   iCa   Glu   Lac   Hct

Stat Profile Prime combines the revolutionary microelectronics of the consumer world with Nova Biomedical’s innovative MicroSensor Card™ technology for a smaller, faster, more powerful yet simpler and less expensive analyzer.

Maintenance-free cartridge system

Stat Profile Prime’s unique cartridge system consists of individual cartridges for sensors, calibrators, and liquid quality control (QC).

Maximum analyzer uptime

Individual cartridges offer a significant benefit in analyzer uptime compared to combined sensor/calibrator cartridge systems.

Cartridge replacement in seconds

Each cartridge is ready to use and easily replaced in seconds. Cartridge RFID technology automatically captures cartridge installation time, date, lot number, test parameters, and usage. There is significant savings in analyzer uptime when replacing only a calibrator cartridge, which has no warm-up time, compared to a two-to-four-hour wait for combined cartridge systems.

Individual cartridges lower costs

Individual cartridges offer a low-cost alternative compared to the inflexibility and waste of combined cartridge systems. For example, an analyzer used in a high volume setting will require fewer sensor cartridges than calibrators, but a low volume setting will require the reverse. In both cases, costs are reduced by using Stat Profile Prime’s individual sensor and calibrator cartridges, which have no waste compared to combined cartridge systems.

• MicroSensor card technology
• Accuracy
• All Stat Profile Prime tests use proven Nova biosensor technology in a miniaturized, sensor card format.
• Constant stat readiness
• MicroSensor cards have flexible configurations:
• 200 Samples
• 400 Samples
• MicroSensor cards are automatically calibrated and always ready for immediate analysis.
• Clot protection
• The unique Clot Block™ sample flow path is designed to protect sensor cartridges from blood clot blockages.

Fastest replacement time

MicroSensor cards can be replaced, warmed, and calibrated in less than half the time of other cartridge systems, which take more than an hour to calibrate and can remain unstable with drift, frequent re-calibrations, and reduced throughput for even longer periods of time.

Automated, true liquid QC

• True liquid QC provides the only reliable test of an analyzer
• QC and are requiring true, liquid-based QC. Stat Profile Prime combines both automated, true liquid QC and continuous electronic self-monitoring to ensure lab accuracy and uncompromised quality.

Tri-level QC cartridges automate daily QC

• QC cartridges contain a 30-day supply of liquid QC material. Controls are run automatically at user-selected intervals. An optional QC lockout feature disables any analyte that is not within QC limits.

CLIA QC compliant out of the box

• Stat Profile Prime’s automated QC system complies with all new CLIA requirements.1 Liquid quality controls follow the identical sample pathway as the blood sample and confirm the entire analytical process for each analyte at multiple levels of concentration. QC statistics are automatically maintained.

Complete automation

• Running QC manually is one of the most time consuming aspects of critical care testing. Stat Profile Prime’s automated, true liquid QC saves hours of time each week, eliminating the need to develop, implement, and document a lengthy, risk-based quality assessment and individualized QC plan.
