Siemens DCA Vantage Analyser

The DCA Vantage Analyzer is a point-of-care system that helps you monitor glycemic control and detect early kidney disease.

Albumin, Creatinine, and Albumin-to-Creatinine (A:C) ratio from a urine specimen in 7 minutes to report a quantitative protein status with automatic creatinine adjustment
Onboard GFR calculator indexes kidney function

Self-contained cartridges facilitate easy, walkaway operation after sample loading
No sample or reagent preparation required
Bar-code scanner for safer and faster patient/operator ID entry
Review results on-screen or generate a hard copy report to minimize transcription errors in the office
Convenient local storage of up to 4,000 onboard records with powerful sorting capabilities
Automatically upload results to a PC via a USB flash drive to reduce manual logging and save time
Minimal maintenance requirements with automatic reminders to alert you when maintenance is due

Customizable security access modes support up to 1,000 operators, protect patient information, and prevent operation by unauthorized users
POCT1-A2 communication protocol streamlines data transfer for easy connectivity and fast, two-way communication to LIS/HIS, RAPIDComm® System, or other third-party POC data management systems
Automatically upload results and QC information to LIS/HIS to reduce manual logging and save time
Take testing oversight to the next level with RAPIDComm Data Management System to remotely manage multiple analyzers and operators to enhance compliance and improve risk management. POC coordinators can standardize test procedures, enforce QC protocols, control access privileges, define operator recertification requirements, and more. Customized alerts, reports, and audit trails ensure peace of mind and simplify accreditation and inspections
