DESCRIPTION
Portable clinical chemistry system
Roughly the size of a shoebox, health care providers use the easy to follow color touch screen commands to perform routine multi-chemistry panels. 0.1cc of whole blood, serum or plasma is added directly to the patented 8-cm diameter single use plastic disc containing the liquid diluent and dry reagents. The disc is placed in the analyzer drawer where centrifugal and capillary forces are used to mix the reagents and sample in the disc. The Piccolo xpress monitors the reagent reactions simultaneously using nine wavelengths, calculates the results from the absorbance data and reports the results. The Piccolo xpress self-calibrates with each run and the on-board continuous intelligent Quality Control (iQCT) monitors the analyzer, reagent reactions and sample to ensure chemistry and instrument integrity. This assures you the highest quality and accuracy in results. Results are ready in approximately 12 minutes with a "hard copy" report suitable for the patient file or transferred to a computer, printer or an LIS/EMR. This enables you to rapidly obtain critical diagnostic information at point of care. The easy-to-use, low maintenance system requires no special training to operate.

1Reply3 years ago | Error 4056 How can i resolve the error message - Disc date illegal. Just took stock of new disc. Need your support.Reply |
1Reply4 years ago | Problem with Piccolo "Control Renewal Required" "Control Renewal Required" showing on screen, and then it is printed on test results paper - even though the tests were run normally with good results showing. What do I do to fix or bypass this issue - or how do I do "Control Renewal"? Are my test results invalid with this phrase on my test results paper? Thanks!Reply |
5Replies4 years ago | Cuvette Sensor Error 4210 I have a Piccolo Xpress that passes iQC checks but has started showing 4210 Cuvette Sensor Error when I run a test. Tried multiple disks and waiting multiple days. Im led to believe this might be due to a dirty optical sensor but I am not sure how involved the cleaning is. Any tips?Reply |
