Enables haemostasis laboratories to standardise testing results across multiple Sysmex CS and CA hemostasis systems
Siemens Healthineers Laboratory Diagnostics business has launched the Sysmex CS-2500 System, a mid-volume, fully-automated coagulation analyser with smartly-designed PSI technology, in major markets including the US. Together with Lab Alliance of Central New York, the first US customer to install the high-volume Sysmex CS-5100 System, the company celebrated the availability of its new Sysmex CS Hemostasis System portfolio in the US.
The launch of the new Sysmex CS-2500 System will enable mid-volume laboratories to leverage globally-proven PSI technology, while providing regional reference laboratories and integrated delivery networks (IDNs) with the ability to standardise testing results across multiple Sysmex CS and CA haemostasis systems.
“Labs today are challenged to increase their output without sacrificing the accuracy or reliability of their results. The Sysmex CS Systems are the answer to this demand,” said Franz Walt, President, Laboratory Diagnostics, Siemens Healthineers. “The increased operational efficiency and uninterrupted workflow delivered by the Sysmex CS-5100 and CS-2500 Systems provide our customers with the confidence, consistency and increased capacity they need to deliver timely and accurate haemostasis test results.”
In most markets, the Sysmex CS-2500 System features simultaneous multi-wavelength scanning and proven PSI technologies including primary-tube sample-volume checks, clog detection, assay-based pre-analytical sample-quality checks for haemolysis, icterus and lipemia (HIL) interference; automated mixing studies; automated platelet aggregation; and clot waveform analysis (CWA)2, enabling labs to raise the quality of test results, achieve cost-effective method consolidation, simplify operations, and increase diagnostic confidence.
The new system enhances efficiency via a wide optical spectrum, which allows clotting, chromogenic, immunologic and aggregation testing capabilities on a single platform. With an onboard capacity of up to 3,000 tests and up to 40 reagents, the Sysmex CS-2500 System delivers extended walkaway time to streamline workflow.
Anne Chamberlain, Haematology Manager, Laboratory Alliance of Central New York, remarked, “The Sysmex CS Systems and the services offered by Siemens Healthineers are the perfect fit for our laboratory and laboratory networks similar to ours. The intuitive system software, readily accessible patient analysis data and result traceability simplifies our operations. This enables our lab to deliver quality test results, which positively impacts patient care for our clients.”
The systems use the same reagents, controls and calibrators as other coagulation analysers offered by Siemens Healthineers to help labs ensure consistency and improve productivity.
