Blood Gas Analyzer — AVL Compact 2

The AVL Compact 2 is a clinical blood gas analyzer designed for rapid, on-demand testing in point-of-care settings. It provides essential diagnostic information by measuring key parameters directly from whole blood samples, enabling clinicians to make timely decisions in critical care situations.

This analyzer is engineered to deliver results for a core panel of critical care analytes, typically including:

• Blood Gases: pO2 and pCO2
• pH: Acid-base balance

With its compact footprint, the Compact 2 is well-suited for environments where space is at a premium, such as intensive care units (ICUs), emergency departments, and satellite laboratories. Its design focuses on providing fast turnaround times for STAT tests, which is crucial for managing critically ill patients.

For clinical laboratory managers, integrating a device like the AVL Compact 2 can be a key part of a strategy to decentralize testing and bring diagnostics closer to the patient, improving workflow efficiency and patient care.
