EKF Diagnostics (Cardiff, Wales, UK) is attending MEDICA 2004 where the company is showcasing its diagnostic technologies and biotechnology solutions that empower healthcare and medical providers to make informed clinical decisions through point-of-care (POC) testing and life sciences applications.

EKF leads the way with cutting-edge POC diagnostic solutions that empower healthcare professionals and patients with rapid, accurate, and accessible testing capabilities and results. The company’s technologies enable informed decision-making, timely interventions, and improved patient outcomes at the POC. At this year’s MEDICA, EKF is demonstrating its POC medical devices and in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) tests for use at or near the patient’s location, engineered for fast and precise results, allowing healthcare professionals to make swift decisions. This includes EKF’s diabetes POC analyzers that measure glucose, lactate, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C), and whole blood beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB). These analyzers offer rapid and reliable results, giving practitioners and patients the critical information needed for clinical or lifestyle decisions within minutes. Among EKF’s diabetes point-of-care analyzers exhibited at MEDICA 2024 are Biosen C-Line, Quo-Test, STAT-Site WB, and Quo-Lab. The new Biosen C-Line, an advanced version of its industry-leading rapid benchtop glucose and lactate analyzer, has been designed to enhance usability with the latest color, touch screen, and advanced connectivity, enabling the device to seamlessly connect with hospital and laboratory IT systems, via EKF Link, to ensure patient results are quickly and securely available to clinicians.

EKF’s hemoglobin POC analyzers exhibited at MEDICA 2024 offer quick and convenient on-site blood testing, minimizing result turnaround times and enhancing patient diagnosis and outcomes. These include the DiaSpect Tm hand-held hemoglobin analyzer and Hemo Control POC hemoglobin analyzer that provides quantitative, lab-quality hemoglobin results after 25 seconds. Both devices are powered by EKF Link, which is an optional software platform that provides a flexible and secure method for connecting POC devices to hospital and laboratory IT systems. EKF Link is a middleware solution that helps healthcare providers manage their POC analyzers and associated data on one platform. A flexible and open solution that can be interfaced with most POC analyzers, allowing real-time data management, including patient test results, QC results, operator management, and analyzer configuration.
