Guide to Diagnostic Healthcare Equipment

Diagnostic medical devices help clinicians tailor timely and effective treatment plans. Without access to this healthcare equipment, it would be extremely difficult for doctors and nurses to provide an appropriate level of patient care.

Diagnostic equipment can be found in all types of healthcare facilities, from a general practitioner’s office to a laboratory. These medical devices also vary in terms of size and complexity.

The Paragon Care Diagnostics division includes a wide variety of products and services, designed to facilitate the needs of all clinicians. Continue reading to learn more about the products we have available and how to access more information.

Immunohaematology

Immunohaematology is the branch of medicine that studies the reactions between antigens that are found in blood cells and antibodies found in plasma. This information can be used to ascertain a broad range of clinical information, including whether blood is safe for transfusion.

The equipment required for this type of work is varied and comprehensive. Immulab, one of Paragon Care’s businesses, specialises in the design, manufacture, and distribution of a complete range of reagents and ancillary products used by immunohematologists. Immulab has been involved in the manufacture of these products since the 1930s and has an extensive history of providing customers with high-quality diagnostic equipment.

Laboratory

A laboratory simply couldn’t run without equipment. Pathologists working in this environment depend on a range of capital and consumable products to accurately perform tests and monitor results.

The quality of your laboratory equipment can have a direct impact on the accuracy of test results. A product like a pipette tip may seem small but that doesn’t mean you should be looking to cut corners on price or quality.

LabGear, another of Paragon Care’s businesses, is an experienced distribution partner for a broad range of laboratory equipment and consumables. From beakers to spectrophotometers, LabGear has everything you need to provide an accurate diagnosis.

In addition, working with LabGear as a supplier means you have timely access to our inventory of spare parts and trained technical engineers. In a laboratory setting, equipment that malfunctions or breaks down completely can have a significant impact on how quickly a clinician is able to confirm a diagnosis and commence treatment. LabGear and Paragon Care are committed to providing high-quality medical equipment services, meaning you don’t have to fret if repairs are required.

Pathology

Clinicians working in a range of medical specialities depend on pathologists to help arrive at a diagnosis. At Paragon Care, our product portfolio includes extensive equipment suitable for those in the autoimmune, microbiology, molecular, urinalysis, diabetes, and fertility fields.

We provide automated equipment, reagents, and services to support the valuable work performed by clinicians in these areas.
