1st Automatic empowers healthcare providers to streamline blood gas workflows at the bedside. By enabling you to link operator, patient, and sample IDs before drawing blood, you minimize manual steps and can spend more time with patients.
1st Automatic is a unique solution combining ABL blood gas analyzers, pre-barcoded safePICO syringes and AQURE FLEXLINK, a sample flow management system.
Through simplifying your workflow, we’ll help you prioritize patient care, without compromising sample integrity.
Simple and intuitive
Preparing to take a blood gas sample
Begin by scanning your personal ID. In sequence, scan the patient's ID and then, the pre-barcoded safePICO syringe. These data are now linked together and your patient’s demographics are displayed on the AQURE FLEXLINK screen.
Analyzing the sample
Scan the barcode on the safePICO syringe to confirm your patient’s data are displayed on the screen. Place the sample in the inbuilt safePICO mixer for standardized automatic mixing. Next, aspirate the syringe using the auto-inlet without removing the vented safeTIPCAP.
Tracking patients' results
Once the analysis is complete, AQURE's FLEXLINK will send results to the bedside and/or your hospital's LIS/HIS. This means you’ll have the right results, for the right patient, when and where you need them.
As blood gas specialists, we’re empowered to advance acute care diagnostics. From reducing the risk of preanalytical errors to providing a reliable blood gas test result, we ensure constant focus on supporting you and your patients.
