Hello Everyone,
We are ready to replace our AVOX device and wondering what is out there on the market that can provide the same testing and with similar TAT and low-maintenance

The cost of all of the other possibilities was prohibitive compared to the AVOX.
My cardiologists refused to use anything but the AVOX due to the TAT.
Most cardiologists in San Antonio are used to the AVOX as it was invented here......
If you have a very small group of users with a low turn-over that also follow procedure reliably (run QC, document it and address if QC fails while results upload to the EMR) then you are potentially OK. The issue comes in with larger systems with more users, it becomes a regulatory nightmare... forcing facilities to move to the modern systems designed with current regulatory standards in mind.
We moved to the Prime Plus.
Since moving to the Prime Plus we have discovered that it, like the other modern analysers have internal QC sample checks that flag when sample issues are present, The Avox has no such features and would miss them while providing inaccurate results.
