Confidently manage blood glucose levels with cobas® pulse system and its advanced performance right at the Point of Care. Enable fast, correct treatment decisions to prevent potentially life-threatening complications caused by hypoglycemia and hyperglycaemia and minimise both short-term and long-term complications.6-9 By maintaining stable blood glucose levels in critically ill patients, you not only enhance patient safety and overall health outcomes, you also help reduce ICU stay duration and improve recovery rates.10

Early detection of hypoglycaemia is critical in newborns. Affecting up to 15% and rising to 50% in at-risk babies.11 cobas® pulse system delivers highly accurate and reliable blood glucose results, allowing you to take swift action if needed. By optimising neonate glucose management, you can help minimise immediate risks like seizures and reduce long-term complications.12 This can lead to better overall outcomes for your neonates and can improve economic efficiency by potentially reducing overall healthcare cost.13
