Epoc® Reader and Host2
The Right Result at the Right Time

Take immediate therapeutic action at the patient’s bedside.
The epoc® Reader and Host2 are two separate devices that communicate bi-directionally via Bluetooth® and provide a handheld, wireless solution used for testing blood gases, electrolytes, and metabolites in about 30 seconds.
Simply insert the Test Card into the epoc® Reader and obtain a blood sample from the patient. Once fresh blood passes across the biosensors on the epoc® Test Card, results are sent to the epoc®Host2 Mobile Computer in approximately 30 seconds. The almost instantaneous delivery of BGEM results at the bedside enables the clinician to accelerate treatment decisions that may lead to improved patient outcomes.
