Blood Gas Analyzer — Bayer Rapidpoint 400/405

The Bayer Rapidpoint 400/405 is a compact, cartridge-based blood gas analyzer designed for rapid testing at the point of care. It delivers critical test results quickly, making it a valuable tool in fast-paced clinical environments where immediate diagnostic information is essential.

Engineered for operational simplicity, this system provides a comprehensive critical care panel from a single whole blood sample. Key measured parameters typically include:

• Blood Gases: pH, pCO2, pO2
• Electrolytes: Na+, K+, Ca++, Cl-
• Metabolites: Glucose, Lactate
• Hematocrit (Hct)

With its small footprint and automated operation, the Rapidpoint 400/405 is well-suited for deployment in emergency departments, intensive care units (ICUs), and operating rooms. The system's design focuses on minimizing maintenance and maximizing uptime through its self-contained cartridge system, which includes all necessary reagents, sensors, and waste containment.

For clinical laboratory managers and procurement teams, this analyzer represents a reliable solution for decentralizing critical care testing, helping to reduce diagnostic turnaround times and support immediate clinical decision-making.
