ER
ICU
OR
Cath lab
At CT locations
At the bedside
If you can put more POC analyzers into circulation, you can train your POC staff to use them in more locations, in more scenarios.
And that will take stress off your doctors and lab techs.
You can get 4 refurbished analyzers for the cost of 1 new.
That’s how you fit it into your budget.
