DCA 2000 Plus Analyzer

Accuracy, precision, and reproducibility with the convenience of in-office results.

The DCA 2000+ analyzer is a point-of-care diabetes management platform that performs both hemoglobin A1c and microalbumin / creatinine tests in minutes. The DCA 2000+ allows health care professionals to make immediate diabetes management adjustments. Quantitative measurement of HBA1c in blood allows effective preventative treatment to reduce the risk of retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy in patients with diabetes. The system also measures low concentrations of albumin, creatinine and albumin/creatinine ratio in urine. The method permits decentralized testing using random urine samples, enabling early detection of complications associated with renal disease.

Easy procedure

	Totally self-contained reagent cartridges - no reagent preparation, mixing, or handling
	Sample collection capillary holder is an integral part of unique reagent cartridge
	No costly, time-consuming calibration - factory-calibrated instrument eliminates all wet calibrations
	Screen displays all instructions, calibration status, and testing information and results
	Up to 16 results stored in memory for convenient recordkeeping

Laboratory-accurate results just minutes after testing

	Review during patient visit, adjust blood glucose control regimen as appropriate
	Conforms with current guidelines for effective management

HbA1c results...in minutes

	Guide and reinforce your patients to maintain target blood glucose levels
	Quantitative HbA1c value in 6 minutes from capillary blood
	Low cost per test
	Monoclonal antibody method provides outstanding accuracy and precision
	Correlation study shows 99% agreement with the HPLC method
	Monoclonal antibody method provides outstanding accuracy and precision
	Correlation study shows 99% agreement with HPLC method

Microalbumin/creatinine ratio...in minutes

	Achieving and maintaining near-normoglycemic levels will delay onset of microalbuminuria and clinical albuminuria in IDDM patients
	One reagent cartridge provides results for both microalbumin and creatinine as well as an automatic calculation of the albumin to creatinine ratio.
	Quantitative results and calculated ratio displayed within 7 minutes using random urine sample

Intensive management improves glycemic control

	Maintaining average blood glucose levels (120 mg/dL; 6.7 mmol/L; HbA1c 6%) lowers risk of complications
	Three- to four-times-daily blood glucose monitoring is recommended
	Establish and follow a coherent approach of combined nutritional counseling, self- management training, and possible hospitalization for therapy initiation

Reduce the risk. Monitor HbA1c levels

	HbA1c results monitor glucose control over the preceding 90 to 120 days
	Complete normalization of glycemia levels may prevent complications
	Quarterly HbA1c determination recommended for all insulin-treated patients
	Recommendation also includes test for microalbuminuria and others, as indicated

Detect early stages of diabetic nephropathy. Protect your patient from complications

	Intensive diabetes management delays the onset of microalbuminuria-- an early indicator of renal disease
	Microalbumin-to-creatinine ratio from a random urine sample is as valid an indicator of microalbuminuria as a timed 24-hour sampling
	Persistent microalbuminuria (30 to 300 mg/day) indicates the earliest stage of diabetic nephropathy
	May also signal presence of hypertension and the need to begin antihypertensive therapy
	Test for microalbuminuria should be performed yearly on postpubertal patients who have had diabetes for at least 5 years
