Capillary blood POC analyzer Allegro®

for diabetesHbA1chemoglobin

• Capillary fingerstick samples for all blood tests • Immediate test results during the patient visit • Reduces patient follow-up visits and costs Allegro is a compact, point-of-care (POC) analyzer that features a clinically important menu of 10 measured and individually selectable tests, plus 7 calculated tests. All tests are measured with disposable, ready-to-use cartridges or test strips, and are easily performed by non-technical personnel. Allegro uses a very small capillary blood drop for all blood tests, which eliminates the need for venipunctures or a trained phlebotomist. With cartridge test times of 6 to 9 minutes and the ability to measure two cartridges simultaneously, Allegro provides rapid results. Having results during the patient visit—not after—is more effective for patient/clinician meetings; reduces office calls, letters, and follow-up visits; and improves patient compliance with care recommendations. A comprehensive test menu for monitoring glycemic control and diabetes risk factors Allegro provides a comprehensive test menu to monitor the effectiveness of glycemic control, assess the risk or progression of diabetes complications, and make therapeutic adjustments for patients. The only analyzer that measures all blood tests from a capillary sample Capillary sampling is easily performed by staff members, eliminating the need for venipunctures, trained phlebotomists, and blood drawing tubes and needles. Allegro’s use of a small, 5 μL blood drop makes testing virtually painless for the patient.
