A Fast, Simple, Capillary Blood Analyzer

• Capillary fingerstick samples for all blood tests
• Immediate test results during the patient visit
• Reduces patient follow-up visits and costs

Allegro is a compact, point-of-care (POC) analyzer that features a clinically important menu of 10 measured and individually selectable tests, plus 7 calculated tests. All tests are measured with disposable, ready-to-use cartridges or test strips, and are easily performed by non-technical personnel.

Allegro uses a very small capillary blood drop for all blood tests, which eliminates the need for venipunctures or a trained phlebotomist. With cartridge test times of 6 to 9 minutes and the ability to measure two cartridges simultaneously, Allegro provides rapid results. Having results during the patient visit—not after—is more effective for patient/clinician meetings; reduces office calls, letters, and follow-up visits; and improves patient compliance with care recommendations.

The only analyzer that measures all blood tests from a capillary sample

Capillary sampling is easily performed by staff members, eliminating the need for venipunctures, trained phlebotomists, and blood drawing tubes and needles. Allegro’s use of a small, 5 μL blood drop makes testing virtually painless for the patient.

Easy-to-use Analyzer

Simple Testing Procedure
Allegro’s simple testing procedures are easily performed by office staff. An onboard barcode scanner automatically enters patient ID and cartridge test assay information. When an analysis is completed, the results are automatically printed and stored in the Allegro database and transmitted to the electronic medical record (EMR) for clinician viewing.
