On November 18, 2020, the Medica EasyRA benchtop clinical chemistry analyzer was distributed and serviced by Greensboro-based company, which provides healthcare officials and staff to keep a routine test on blood chemistries to include and check metabolic activity profiles, liver enzymes, proper kidney functioning glucose levels, and cardiovascular tests. These routine tests are imperatively useful at a time when it is critical to check the overall health of COVID-19 patients. The analyzer machine can screen for drugs of abuse or pain management medication. Its highly extensive and target specific menu is quite adequate and adept for family practice, urgent care, oncology, and other super speciality practices with laboratories. This analyzer tries to fit into multiple settings where fast, accurate and actionable outcomes are mandatory to diagnose and to keep a track in the progression or escalation of a variety of diseases and intervention at the same point of time.
The small size of the analyser and the ease of operation i.e. lucidity makes it well equipped for space-constricted locations such as mobile test centres, urgent care centres, COVID-19 hospital floors, physician office laboratories, or research labs and hospitals with remote locations. This clinical chemistry analyzer also ensures photometric throughput test results of up to 240 tests/hour or up to 480 tests/hour with electrolytes. Technicians and health officials can also analyze STAT samples in less than just 8 minutes.
