EDAN i20

Blood gas analysis (BGA) is important to obtain detailed information about lung and heart function. E.g. in diffusion studies, BGA assesses gas exchange efficiency between the lungs and blood, helping diagnose conditions like pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema.

A BGA test measures the blood gas tension values of the PaO2, and the PaCO2, and the blood’s pH in order to evaluate cardiovascular, respiratory, and muscular system responses, aiding in diagnosing conditions like COPD and heart failure. BGA provides essential data for accurate diagnosis, treatment planning and monitoring disease progression and therapeutic interventions.

Next Generation BGA

Monitoring Oxygen Uptake and Delivery (PaO₂)

The blood gas analysis measures the oxygen content in the blood, which provides insight into how efficiently the lungs are absorbing oxygen and delivering it to the tissues.

Assessment of Carbon Dioxide Levels (PaCO₂)

Measuring the carbon dioxide content helps to understand how effectively the body is expelling carbon dioxide what is important for evaluating respiratory efficiency under stress.

Determining Blood (pH)

The blood pH value provides information about the body's acid-base balance, which can be affected by physical activity. Deviations can indicate metabolic or respiratory issues.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body and returning carbon dioxide from the body to the lungs.

Power pack: Versatile Test Cartridge

The Edan blood gas cartridge is designed to simplify the process of blood gas analysis by combining ease of use, accuracy and efficiency to support high quality patient care.

Single-Use Design: Each cartridge is intended for one-time use, reducing the risk of cross-contamination and ensuring accurate and reliable results for each test. The single-use nature of the cartridges helps in preventing contamination and maintaining a high standard of infection control.

Comprehensive Testing: Capable of measuring a wide range of parameters including pH, partial pressures of oxygen (PaO2) and carbon dioxide (PaCO2), Hb, electrolytes, metabolites, and more, depending on the cartridge type.

Portable: The cartridges support point-of-care testing what allows blood gas analysis to be performed in different situations.

Full software integration

The LFX software is the GANSHORN user-friendly interface, developed with the physiologist in mind. It provides all tools necessary to perform every task done in the laboratory, while remaining easy to operate. Built on state-of-the-art Windows tools like .Net, C# and SQL database, the software is the future of modern respiratory diagnostics. LFX has built-in quality control monitoring based on ATS/ERS guidelines, which are accessible during and after the measurements are performed.

The results of EDAN i20 can be fully integrated with GANSHORN Software LFX. This powerful combination streamlines the workflow, enhancing efficiency and precision in patient care:

Effortless Data Transfer: Automatically transmits test results from the EDAN i20 directly into GANSHORN Software LFX what reduces the risk of errors by manual data entry.

Comprehensive Patient Records: LFX software consolidates all diagnostic information in one place. The integration ensures a complete view of respiratory patient health.

Enhanced Workflow Efficiency: The seamless integration means faster turnaround times and more efficient use of resources, allowing more focus on patient care.
