Medica EasyRA

Clinical Chemistry Analyzer

Medica’s EasyRA® analyzer is a fully automated clinical chemistry analyzer that accommodates the diverse needs of small laboratories.

Lab technicians become experts with minimal training thanks to a simple and intuitive user interface. Four color-coded icons guide the technician through all analyzer functions. EasyRA is quickly operational and ready to run samples. Friendly displays clearly signal the progress of a run and easily allow changes. Technicians can analyze stat samples in less than 8 minutes. Save valuable time by programming the next worklist while another worklist is running, or simply check reagent and cuvette inventories to prepare for the next run.

The EasyRA clinical chemistry analyzer offers unprecedented access to all replaceable components. Its unique, slide-out drawer makes maintenance quick and easy. RFID technology eliminates the need to manually program reagents. When the smart reagent wedge is placed anywhere in the reagent area, EasyRA identifies location, number of samples remaining, sample volumes, and expiration dates.

With 150 tests per hour (>300 with integrated ISE), 24 sample positions, 24 reagents on board, and more, EasyRA is the easy choice for your laboratory’s clinical chemistry analysis needs.

Reagents
  • EasyRA reagents are liquid, stable, and ready to use.EasyRA automatically performs reagent parameter setup. Unlike barcodes, the new wireless RFID technology, located in each wedge label, contains all reagent information. Setup is fast, easy, and error-free. There is never a need for manual programming: simply place a smart reagent wedge on the analyzer and EasyRA identifies reagent locations, number of samples remaining, sample volumes, and expiration dates, significantly reducing data entry errors. Two-way communication between the analyzer and the reagent wedges allows for continuous updating, providing real-time inventory control.
