Make In-office Testing Easy with Siemens DCA Vantage

Point-of-care testing (POCT) can significantly improve clinical operations with cost reductions through improved practice efficiency. The DCA® Vantage is an advanced point-of-care analyzer from Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics that quantitatively measures percent HbA1c in blood. This analyzer can also aid in the diagnosis of diabetes and identification of patients at risk of developing diabetes. It offers simple, convenient testing for HbA1c, Albumin, Creatinine, and Albumin-to-Creatinine (A:C) Ratio tests to improve patient outcomes. This unit can test HbA1c from a small (1 µL) whole blood sample in just 6 minutes.

This point-of-care analyzer simplifies diabetes testing, delivering accurate and clinically relevant results during the patient visit to help physicians and nurses improve patient decision-making and diabetic patient compliance. Its onboard GFR calculator indexes kidney function to help clinicians monitor kidney disease progression and recommend the most effective treatment plan. It also delivers clinical confidence in results along with flexible connectivity, customizable functions, and enhanced data security.
