Hi All,
Other than the iSTAT, ePOC and ABL90. Are there any other POC instruments out there that also tests for Pottasium?
Thank you in advance!

Abbott Piccolo does waived testing for complete metabolic panels which include potassium. It uses venous lithium heparin whole blood for analysis.
The other blood gas instruments will report potassium as well: IL GEM 400 or 5000, and the Siemens RapidPoint 500. There is also a new IL device, similar to the GEM called ChemSTAT, that does electrolytes etc.
Thank you!
