A Fast, Simple, Capillary Blood Analyzer

Allegro is a compact, point-of-care (POC) analyzer that features a clinically important menu of 12 measured and individually selectable tests, plus 6 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.

A comprehensive test menu for monitoring glycemic control and diabetes risk factors

Allegro provides a comprehensive test menu to monitor the effectiveness of glycemic control, assess the risk or progression of diabetes complications, and make therapeutic adjustments for patients.

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.

Tests Available from Capillary Fingerstick Samples

Tests Available from Urine Samples

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.

Connects to electronic medical records

Results are instantly transmitted to the EMR by industry standard HL7 and POCT1A-2 interface formats for clinician retrieval. Results and trend data are also stored on the analyzer and can be accessed immediately from the Allegro database.

Allegro transmits patient results to the medical records system and produces an immediate printout of patient results.

Patient trend report

Allegro provides on-screen and printed trend reports for patient values. The last nine results for the patient are presented as a trend graph. A virtually unlimited number of patient results can be stored on board the analyzer. These results can be printed, or transmitted to an EMR.
