Nova Biomedical Critical Care Xpress
—
The All-in-One Analyzer
For Blood Gases, CO-Oximetry, Electrolytes, Chemistry, Hematology and Data Management
Stat Profile Critical Care Xpress is a consolidated stat analyzer with up to 20 measured whole blood tests plus 29 calculated tests on board. Thirteen standard menus provide a choice of popular critical care assays.
Beyond these standard menus, a Critical Care Xpress can be configured with any custom test menu that is created from the Critical Care Xpress menu choices.

Color Touchscreen Operation
Stat Profile Critical Care Xpress features a large 10″ color touch screen interface with intuitive, on-screen prompted operation. Screens can be user-defined based on site-specific work flow and user needs.
Automated, On-Board QC
The automated, on-board QC system eliminates the steps involved in manually performing quality control thereby dramatically reducing labor costs.
- Snap-in, tri-level QC packs are on board the instrument and are programmed to analyze at preset intervals
- QC data is automatically stored
- QC data can be transmitted electronically
- Optional instrument lockout if auto QC fails
- Optional audible alarms and auto-paging for QC failure
SmartCheck Automated Maintenance
SmartCheck allows the operator to initiate maintenance on the touch screen and then walk away from the analyzer. Priming, calibration, and quality control are all performed automatically and correctly. SmartCheck software not only frees the operator from performing maintenance, it reduces downtime by up to one hour compared to other analyzers.
No Gas Tanks
An innovative, liquid-only calibration system eliminates bulky compressed gas tanks, gas regulators, gas tubing lines, and humidifiers. Instead, a single, snap-in reagent pack contains all required liquid and gas calibrators. The reagent pack includes a sealed waste container that stores sample and reagent waste.
On-Board CO-Oximeter
For applications requiring a more comprehensive hemoglobin profile, Stat Profile Critical Care Xpress offers integrated on-board CO-Oximetry. The CO-Oximeter offers a combination of eight measured and calculated hemoglobin and oxygen transport tests including:
- Deoxyhemoglobin (HHb)
- Oxyhemoglobin (O2Hb)
- Methemoglobin (MetHb)
- Carboxyhemoglobin (COHb)
- Total hemoglobin (tHb)
- Oxygen saturation (SO2%)
- Oxygen content (O2Ct)
- Oxygen capacity (O2Cap)
Small Sample Volume
Stat Profile Critical Care Xpress is an important contributer to blood conservation. Blood gases can be performed on as little as 60 microliters of whole blood while a full 20 test panel requires only 210 microliters of sample.
Low Maintenance Biosensors
Nova Biomedical is the world leader in the development of electrode-based biosensor technology. For more than 25 years, Nova has developed and pioneered whole blood sensors having unmatched reliability, accuracy, and useful life. The biosensors developed for Critical Care Xpress have improved lifetimes and reduced maintenance.
Small Size
Although the Stat Profile Critical Care Xpress incorporates more on-board tests than any other critical care analyzer, it is elegantly designed with an overall size of only 17 in (H) x 22 in (W) x 17 in (D) (44 x 57 x 44 cm) and a footprint of just 2.5 square feet (2500 cm2). Critical Care Xpress is 20-40% smaller than comparable instruments and is easily transported on its mobile cart.
A single, snap-in reagent pack eliminates bulky gas tanks, regulators, and humidifiers, as well as the large number of calibration and cleaning solution bottles used in other analyzers
Advanced Data Management Software
Open Software Architecture Allows Custom Configuration of Analyzer Operation
The flexible software designed into Stat Profile Critical Care Xpress allows the user to customize a wide range of instrument operating protocols, including:
- Touch screen layouts
- Report formats
- Security options
- QC processes
- Data management capabilities
More than any other analyzer, Critical Care Xpress allows custom configuration to meet exact requirements.
Integrated On-Board Data Management
Critical Care Xpress integrated on-board data management software allows patient data capture, manipulation, and reporting.
Software and Connectivity
Comprehensive Options
Stat Profile Critical Care Xpress uses Nova’s Point-of-Care Management (PDM) software to perform the following functions:
- Restrict analyzer access with password identification
- Allow analyzer shutdown if auto QC fails
- Remotely enable or disable tests and operator password privileges
- Remotely perform QC cycles, instrument calibrations and flush cycles
- Remotely review and diagnose Critical Care Xpress status
- Manage multiple Critical Care Xpress analyzers from a single location
Advanced Connectivity Options The first critical care analyzer to be compliant with the new NCCLS/IFCC connectivity standards, Critical Care Xpress is compatible with a wide array of connectivity platforms, devices and methods.
