cobas^® pulse system

cobas pulse is the only device on the market to meet all CLSI POCT12-A3⁴ criteria. The CLSI guidelines are an internationally recognized standard developed by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute to ensure quality and accuracy in laboratory testing and procedures. CLSI POCT12-A3:2013 is the latest CLSI Guideline for “Point-of-Care Blood Glucose Testing in Acute and Chronic Care Facilities” and is targeted at professional testing, not patient self-testing.

For the evaluation of cobas pulse, a comprehensive multi-center study^3,9 was conducted, encompassing all sample types from critically ill and non-critically ill patients across all age groups, as well as a study specifically focusing on capillary samples. In these studies, cobas pulse was compared to the Nova StatStrip using a Hexokinase reference method.³

cobas pulse has been developed with the goal to have a glucose meter that is free of interferences, fulfils the strictest performance criteria for all patients and sample types and digitally advances to a next level. cobas pulse device architecture and strip technology is entirely new and allows for an even better performance than the one of Accu-Chek Inform II.

Hospitals can be intense environments—drops, spills and accidents happen daily. cobas pulse is tested against 12k cycles of cleaning and disinfection and is compatible with aggressive cleaning and disinfection agents. Tests showed reduced pathogen transmission and elimination of Hepatitis B following disinfection of the product.
cobas pulse is easy to disinfect with no exposed contact points and can be easily cleaned.⁵

The cobas pulse is built for demanding hospital environments.
It is designed to withstand drops from up to two meters, it is water-resistant and easy to clean.⁵
