Stat Profile Prime Plus® VET Critical Care Analyser

Simplified Veterinary Critical Care Testing

Stat Profile Prime Plus VET is a comprehensive, whole blood critical care analyser that combines blood gases, electrolytes, metabolites, co-oximetry, and 32 calculated results in a simple, compact analyser. Prime Plus VET combines maintenance-free, replaceable cartridge technology for sensors and reagents with patented, new, maintenance-free, and non-lysing whole blood co-oximetry technology. Prime Plus VET results are produced very rapidly, a complete test menu panel in about one minute, and are combined with bi-directional connectivity and a powerful onboard data management system.

• All Prime Plus VET biosensors use proven Nova technology in a miniaturised, maintenance-free sensor card format.
• Nova's MicroSensor cards combine all 22 whole blood assays including co-oximetry.

Important New Assays

BUN (Urea) and Creatinine
Kidney disease is common in cats and dogs. Prime Plus VET is the only veterinary critical care analyser that provides the option of urea (BUN) and creatinine as well as calculated BUN/creatinine ratio.

Ionised Magnesium (iMg)
Disruptions in the balance of iMg, Na, K, and iCa are common in veterinary medicine and can cause cardiac arrhythmias, reduced cardiac contraction, and cardiac arrest. Prime Plus VET is the only blood gas analyser to provide a comprehensive profile of electrolytes including iMg.

Fast Stat Results    

Prime Plus VET’s exceptional throughput easily handles the high sample workload of a busy practice. Prime Plus VET delivers a 22-test critical care profile in about one minute. Competitor analysers can require up to four minutes, even with fewer tests reported.

Individual Sensors and Calibrators Maximise Uptime and Lower Costs

MicroSensor cards have fastest replacement time
MicroSensor cards can be replaced and calibrated in 45 minutes. Other combined systems usually take greater than one hour to calibrate and remain unstable with drift and frequent re-calibrations for two hours or longer.

Calibrator cartridges replaced in seconds
Calibrator and quality control (QC) cartridges are immediately ready to use and easily replaced in seconds. Replacing only a calibrator cartridge significantly reduces analyser downtime because it has no warm-up time, compared to the over two-hour wait for competitors’ combined systems.

Automated, True Liquid QC    

Maintaining QC is one of the most time consuming aspects of critical care testing. Prime Plus VET’s fully automated, onboard liquid QC saves hours of time each week, compared to manually running controls.
