Accuracy,
precision, and reproducibility with the convenience of in-office
results.
The DCA 2000+
analyzer is a point-of-care diabetes management platform that performs
both hemoglobin A1c and microalbumin / creatinine tests in minutes.
The DCA 2000+ allows health care professionals to make immediate
diabetes management adjustments. Quantitative measurement of HbA1c
in blood allows effective preventative treatment to reduce the risk
of retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy in patients with diabetes.
The system also measures low concentrations of albumin, creatinine
and albumin/creatinine ratio in urine. The method permits decentralized
testing using random urine samples, enabling early detection of
complications associated with renal disease
- Collect 1-µL/40-µL
sample by touching the tip of supplied capillary holder to either
fingerstick whole blood (for HbA1c) or random urine (for microalbumin/creatinine
ratio).
- Insert sample
