Sphere Medical’s Proxima Generation 2 has met its primary endpoint in a multicentre clinical trial conducted at two UK hospitals, Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham and West Suffolk Hospital.
The Proxima system is an arterial blood analyser based on Sphere Medical’s proprietary microanalyser platform technology.
The primary endpoint of the study has evaluated the similar performance to laboratory and point-of-care blood-gas analysers, measuring arterial blood in a clinical setting.
The device provides real-time analysis of a patient’s arterial blood with laboratory accuracy.

The company claims that the Proxima blood analyser can be useable for repeated blood measurements without a deterioration in performance.
Sphere Medical CEO Stuart Hendry said the Proxima will deliver rapid and convenient measurement of blood chemistry in a critical care setting.
