Epoc Blood Analysis Reader

Medical Specialties: Hematology

 The Siemens Epoc analyser is a portable device designed to perform immediate blood tests at the patient's bedside. Operating with single-use test cards, it enables rapid acquisition of biochemical signals, which are transmitted wirelessly via Bluetooth to an Epoc Host terminal. This reader is equipped with an automatic quality control system, integrated heating for sensor stabilisation and a barcode scanner for patient and card identification. Easy to use and reliable, it optimises the responsiveness of healthcare professionals in emergency departments and hospital environments.



Description

Siemens Epoc analyser: the connected solution for instant blood analysis

The Siemens Epoc analyser is a portable, smart device designed to provide a comprehensive, fast and reliable blood analysis solution at the patient's bedside. Used with Epoc test cards, this analyser allows complete blood tests to be performed directly at the point of care, with results transmitted in real time to the Epoc Host terminal. This innovative system eliminates the need to transport samples to a centralised laboratory, significantly reducing diagnosis times and improving the quality of care provided.

The analysis starts automatically when the card is inserted into the reader. The card is heated to a constant temperature of 37°C to optimise the enzymatic reaction of the built-in sensors. An integrated motor activates the card's internal calibration fluid, ensuring measurement accuracy. Once the blood has been injected into the card, the signals are collected and continuously transmitted via a Bluetooth link to the Host terminal. The terminal processes the data in a matter of seconds to produce the final results. The reader is also capable of signalling any malfunction or card anomaly via a set of easy-to-interpret light and sound signals.

The Epoc Reader incorporates an electronic quality control system for each use, as well as automatic card recognition via an optical barcode reader located inside the insertion hatch. This system identifies the card type, batch number and expiry date, thus preventing any handling or analysis errors. It is powered by a rechargeable battery and can be used in a variety of medical environments, including emergency rooms, intensive care units, mobile units and specialist practices.

Autonomous, secure and easy to use, the reader is designed for use without extensive technical training. It requires no complex regular maintenance, apart from periodic cleaning of the external surface and a functional check by authorised personnel. Each test session is optimised to only run when analysis is required, thus preserving battery life and reducing the need for frequent calibration.

A true ally for healthcare professionals, the Siemens Epoc Reader fits seamlessly into modern clinical workflows. It offers a powerful, ergonomic and reliable solution for  immediate diagnosis, while ensuring complete traceability of each test. Thanks to its ability to operate with multiple readers simultaneously and its compatibility with hospital data management software, it is the equipment of choice in the field of point-of-care testing.
