Raising the benchmark for handheld blood gas testing-again

epoc Blood Analysis System now with the NXS Host

The epoc® Blood Analysis System is a handheld, bedside solution that provides lab-accurate blood gas, electrolyte, and metabolite (BGEM) results at the patient’s side in less than 1 minute from sample application.

The epoc system consists of three components: the NXS Host mobile computer, the Reader, and the BGEM Test Card.


The Test Card has 13 analytes on a single-use card that requires no refrigeration. The epoc system helps improve workflow and the clinical experience, with benefits to your blood-gas testing program that were previously unavailable in a point-of-care system.
