ABC Paediatrics to be the primary to unveil the device at their medical facility on 11/1/22
CARIBPR WIRE, MIAMI, FL., Thurs. October, 27, 2022: The primary ever portable hematology analytical instrument by Sight Diagnostics called the OLO has been installed within the Caribbean to offer near-immediate Complete Blood Count (CBC) results to patients of Trinidad and Tobago, especially inside the areas of the critically in poor health, oncology, and pediatrics. The CBC analyzer that accelerates the time to diagnosis and treatment shall be deployed at ABC Paediatrics on November 1 at a gathering of country officials together with the medical community. This cutting-edge technology is supposed to switch the bulky Flow Cytometers in low-volume and critical-need point-of-care testing (POCT) sites and settings.
A CBC test is probably the most elemental of medical laboratory tests and subsequently, the “base camp” for diagnosing a medical condition. Up until this point, the residents of CARICOM and Trinidad and Tobago’s more distant areas had an extended and involved process for getting CBC tests accomplished as the present method requires multiple steps, facilities, and huge flow cytometer instruments at central labs. While highly accurate and fast, they proved expensive to purchase and keep. With the introduction of the OLO, medical facilities won’t have to speculate a whole lot of hundreds of dollars to accumulate a flow cytometer.
The 22-pound device measuring 12.7 inches x 11.2 inches x 10 inches will bring available, portable, and cost-effective CBC testing without compromising the accuracy of the blood test. This device will only require two drops of blood from a finger prick of a patient aged three months or over versus the same old blood vial, though sample collection from a conventional blood collection tube can also be possible. As well as, it’s going to only take minutes to deliver results via a touchscreen interface, printout, or email.
Johann Ali, Managing Director of the distributor corporations, says, “We’re known for bringing revolutionary technology to the Caribbean, and we’re incredibly honored to be involved with the distribution of the primary method for ‘digitizing’ blood to the region. SapphireExport Group is the authorized distributor within the CARICOM region, while in Trinidad and Tobago, the product shall be sold through JT Rapid Diagnostics, Ltd. Each are pioneers in rapid point-of-care diagnostics within the Caribbean for greater than 30 years.
