Nova’s StatStrip® Glucose Hospital Meter System, the only glucose meter FDA cleared for use with all patients including fingerstick capillary testing with critically ill patients, will be shown in booth #3039.

The FDA granted 510(k) clearance to StatStrip for capillary testing with critically ill patients following extensive prospective and retrospective studies performed at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, and Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center in Baltimore, MD. The submission data comprised 16,778 patients ranging from one month to 106 years old, all who were receiving intensive medical intervention/therapy in critical and intensive care settings including burn, cardiac, medical, orthopedic, neurological, and surgical.

StatStrip’s capillary results were equivalent to the arterial and venous plasma results measured on a central laboratory IDMS traceable reference method. The FDA clearance indicates that StatStrip is safe, effective, and reliable for use by CLIA-waived operators with critically ill patients.

Nova is also showing its Stat Profile Prime Plus® critical care blood gas analyzer featuring simple operation, maximum uptime, and low-cost testing. Prime Plus is a comprehensive, whole blood critical care analyzer that offers blood gases, electrolytes, metabolites, co-oximetry, and 32 calculated results in a simple, compact device. Prime Plus combines maintenance-free, replaceable cartridge technology for sensors and reagents with patented, new, maintenance-free and non-lysing whole blood co-oximetry technology. Test menu includes pH, PCO2, PO2, Na, K, Cl, iCa, iMg, Glucose, Lactate, Urea, Creatinine, Hct, Hb, SO2%, and Co-Ox. 

Prime Plus produces rapid results—a complete test menu panel in about one minute—and offers bidirectional connectivity, automated onboard QC, and a powerful data management system. Calibrator and quality control (QC) cartridges are immediately ready to use and easily replaced in seconds.

Nova will also present CE-credited seminars on critical care glucose and electrolyte testing. All seminars are 30 minutes and offered on multiple days for your convenience. Attend as many as you like and earn CE credits for all.
