The NycoCard READER II is a small battery powered instrument, designed to measure all NycoCard products.

The NycoCard System comprises four selected PoC tests: CRP, HbA1c, D-Dimer and U-Albumin. They can all be analysed on the same instrument - the NycoCard Reader II.
The Reader consists of two units: the instrument box, which is the operational and calculating unit, and the Reader pen, which detects the signal.

Patented measurement principle

Each NycoCard test comprises a unique Test Device where the test is performed.
The device has a central well for sample and reagent application, which is shaped to fit the Reader pen. When the pen is placed over the sample and the pen sleeve is pushed down, the measurement starts automatically and the test result appears on the display.
