The GEM Premier 5000 system is a fully automated blood gas Co-Oximeter/hematocrit/electrolyte/glucose/lactate analyzer used in both the laboratory and the operating room to rapidly analyze pH, pCO2, PO2, Ca2+, Na2+, K+, lactate, glucose, and hematocrit from whole blood.

The iQM2 performs checks on samples before, during, and after analysis. This real-time quality assurance feature allows for immediate, automatic correction and automatic documentation. The self-contained GEM PAK does not require refrigeration; this all-in-one PAK performs both the analysis and the Intraspect checks, which can detect errors in sample analysis.
