An optional Load and Unload station that increases the capacity of racks for a total of 190 onboard samples.The DxU Iris Workcell is designed for high-volume laboratories and features: "I love the new Load and Unload station as it can hold multiples racks, allowing users to work in other areas of the lab while processing urine samples." One such feature is that the user guide with the key reference information is on the main screen," said Jennifer Soria, a hematology section coordinator for a medical group in Florida. The DxU Iris has several features that can help med techs work more efficiently. "As a Med Tech, it's important for me that any new analyzer we bring into the lab makes the workflow better and is easy to use with minimal maintenance. This industry-leading technology isolates, identifies and characterizes urine particles to provide immediate, accurate and reproducible results verified directly on the screen. The workcell was developed with proprietary Digital Flow Morphology technology with Auto-Particle Recognition (APR) Software to enable laboratories to deliver standardized results using artificial intelligence (AI). The DxU Iris Workcell pairs the DxU 850m Iris or DxU 840m Iris urine microscopy analyzer with the Arkray AUTION MAX™ 4030 urine chemistry analyzer to create a scalable, fully automated urinalysis solution. We designed the DxU Iris Workcell to allow urinalysis operators to automatically classify sediment particles, minimizing the need for human intervention."
"In this pressurized environment, manual reviews are particularly onerous because they are labor-intensive, taking time and focus away from scientific work. Peter Soltani, senior vice president & general manager, hematology, urinalysis & workflow information technology solutions at Beckman Coulter. "There is no doubt that the pandemic has intensified pressure on the clinical laboratory," said Dr. Whether it is confirming the analyzer's findings or identifying unique particle types, manual microscopic reviews are time-consuming and can take up to six times longer per sample than with an automated system 4.Īutomating the routine urinalysis workflow with the DxU Iris Workcell reduces sample subjectivity and variability, helping laboratories of all sizes standardize processes, drive faster turnaround time and deliver quality results. Many of these samples require a lab technician to perform a manual inspection, which causes workflow disruption and a substantial increase in workload. A routine urinalysis is one the most frequently ordered tests, representing up to 30% of all samples received in the lab 3.
