OverviewThe Afinion™ 2 analyzer is a fast, compact multi-test platform delivering clinically relevant point-of-care results close to the patient. In three simple steps, accurate results for HbA1c, ACR, C-reactive protein (CRP) and a lipid panel are available during the consultation. A single capillary sample provides HbA1c values in minutes, enabling immediate follow-up and clinical decision-making.
Benefits- Four parameters available on a single platform: HbA1c, lipid panel, ACR and CRP.
- Rapid, clinically relevant results during the patient consultation.
- Ready-to-use test cartridges: single-use test with integrated sampling device and all required reagents.
- Built-in self-test procedures and error detection to reduce inconsistent results.
- Analyzers are factory-calibrated; lot calibration data are read by the integrated camera.
Key features- Tests: HbA1c, lipid panel (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides...), ACR (urinary albumin/creatinine ratio) and CRP.
- Sample types: supports multiple matrices (e.g., capillary whole blood) depending on the test.
- Automated result transfer to HIS/LIS via TCP/IP.
- Supported data transfer protocols: POCT1-A, HL7, ASTM 1381-85 (low level) and ASTM 1394-97 (high level), selectable in configuration.
- USB port for barcode reader or printer connection (optional).
- Secure system: quality control (QC) lock and operator lock.
- No user maintenance or additional calibration required.
Battery and mobilityThe Afinion™ 2 is now offered with a new battery and a carrying case (availability varies by country).
- The battery provides up to 10 hours of continuous power (or approximately 60 tests), optimizing POC testing for mobile units, drive-through sites, home visits and care homes.
- Carrying case designed for easy transport (backpack or shoulder carry).
