Stat Profile Prime Plus

Blood Gases, Electrolytes, Metabolytes and Co-Oximetry - Fast, simple, flexible point-of-care analyser suitable for all departments

Stat Profile Prime Plus provides a comprehensive, customisable test menu for critically ill patients in any hospital department including the ICU and A&E, as well as outpatient centres, clinics, and urgent care centres.

Comprehensive, Configurable and Flexible

Prime Plus provides up to 24 measured and 33 calculated user selectable tests, providing the most comprehensive test menu with flexibility to customise depending on departmental needs, available options include;

  • Blood gases, electrolytes, and metabolites with non-lysing CO-Oximetry.
  • Blood gases, electrolytes, and metabolites without CO-Oximetry. Prime Plus provides measured Hb, Hct, and SO2% without the need for CO-Ox, reducing costs for departments that don’t use it.
  • Optional Creat/eGFR and urea tests on a separate MicroSensor Card.

Important New Assays

Estimated Plasma Volume (ePV)

Prime Plus analysers have the unique ability to report estimated plasma volume (ePV), a very important test that assesses the intravascular fluid content of blood, the patient’s hydration status. The plasma volume status of a patient is one of the top priorities in managing many different conditions including shock, sepsis, congestive heart failure, acute or chronic kidney disease, chronic pulmonary disease, as well as general postoperative care.

Prime Plus reports ePV and ΔPV using the Strauss equation which requires measured haemoglobin and measured haematocrit to determine ePV. ePV may be most beneficial when it is measured serially, and thus the change in plasma volume (ΔPV) can also be used to guide fluid therapy.

Ionised Magnesium (iMg)

iMg is an essential electrolyte measurement for critically ill patients in surgical, medical, cardiac, peadiatric, and neonatal ICU's.

  • Hypomagnesaemia is a common and often undiagnosed abnormality in critically ill patients.1,2
  • Hypomagnesaemia can cause cardiac arrhythmias, increased risk for needing ventilator support, prolonged ventilator support, respiratory muscle weakness, and difficulty weaning patients from the ventilator.1-5
  • Magnesium therapy, guided by serial iMg measurement, can prevent hypomagnesaemia.

For more information on the importance of iMg download our white paper Clinical Importance of Ionised Magnesium.

Urea, Creatinine and eGFR

  • Over 50% of patients admitted to the ICU will develop acute kidney injury.6
  • Prime Plus provides optional whole blood urea and creatinine (plus eGFR) tests for rapid assessment of kidney function.

Maximum Uptime     

  • Prime Plus maximises analyser uptime—and the time point-of-care staff can spend with patients—by using maintenance-free cartridge technology.
  • Snap-in calibrator and QC cartridges can be replaced in seconds—other cartridge based analysers usually take up to four hours to be sample-ready after replacing consumables because they remain unstable with drift and frequent recalibrations.
  • Nova’s MicroSensor cards can be replaced, calibrated, and QC verified in one hour.

Total Quality Management

  • Fully automated true liquid QC provides the only true test of analyser performance. 
  • In addition, Supplemental Quality Monitoring provides continuous, real-time, and automated performance verification of all analytical components between QC intervals.

Prime Plus test menu includes:

  • PO2   PCO2   pH   SO2%
  • Na   Cl   K   iCa   TCO2   iMg  
  • Glu   Lac   Urea    Creat  
  • Hct   tHb   HbF   tBil
  • O2Hb   COHb    MetHb    HHb
