EKF Diagnostics to showcase latest POCT solutions at MEDICA

EKF Diagnostics will be introducing its latest product developments and offerings at MEDICA 2022, Düsseldorf, Germany, 14-17 November.

Highlighted at the event will be its newly introduced point-of-care testing (POCT) connectivity solutions, including the enhanced DiaSpect Tm hand-held haemoglobin analyser and the new EKF Link digital connectivity software. In addition to its POCT products, EKF will also highlight its growing contract manufacturing services to the healthcare industry.

In Hall 3 at Stand B69, the EKF team will be available to demonstrate how its new EKF Link middleware enables healthcare providers to readily manage their POC analysers and all generated data via one centralised platform. An intuitive, open solution, EKF Link can be interfaced to most vendor’s POC analysers, in addition to EKF’s own portfolio. This facilitates real-time remote management and secure transfer of data, including patient test results, QC results, operator management and analyser configuration within a range of healthcare settings.

Adding to the list of POC analysers that are compatible with EKF Link, the DiaSpect Tm haemoglobin analyser now offers calculated haematocrit values, and its rapid test results can be securely sent to centralised Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) or Patient Information Systems (PIS). The palm-sized analyser’s new digital connectivity capabilities enabled by EKF Link allows authorised users to access its near-patient results through a web browser, whatever their location.

EKF will also be highlighting its contract manufacturing capabilities covering configuration of product, sourcing materials, providing bulk formulation and dispensing facilities, through to services such as kitting, labelling and packaging. With facilities in the USA, UK and Germany, EKF has a track record of developing and manufacturing products for a range of markets, industries, and businesses - from start-ups to industry leaders – across the globe.  

Discussing how EKF’s contract manufacturing team has worked with his start-up health technology company, Elliot Quigley, project manager, Proton Dx, said: “EKF Diagnostics has been instrumental in our development as a company. They worked above and beyond their remit to ensure the successful completion of our pivotal milestones. They worked closely with our team to provide solutions and guidance navigating the tricky start-up landscape, whilst providing top-tier products.”

Mike Salter, CEO, EKF Diagnostics, added: “We look forward to welcoming visitors to our stand at MEDICA where our team of product and contract manufacturing specialists will be on hand to discuss our broad range of medical diagnostics products and manufacturing services. We are particularly excited to be able to demonstrate our enhanced capabilities in POCT connectivity which provides hospitals, laboratories, and clinicians with the ability to manage and evaluate their patient and user data easily and securely.”
