The Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Clinitek Advantus Urine chemistry analyser enables automated reading of Siemens’ Multistix family of urinalysis testing strips in medium to high throughput settings.
The analyser is a productive, semi-automatic urine chemistry analyser that can perform up to 500 tests per hour. The enhanced analyser is network-ready and delivers improvements such as the ability to consolidate microscopic test results. Technicians can enter results using the analyser’s touch screen or PC keyboard. The analyser has enhanced quality control capability and automatically prompts technicians to perform QC testing.
The unit includes QC lock-out and a simple one-touch operation allowing users to switch between different test configurations. Consolidated reports, including off-line urine microscopy test results, can be printed and/or transmitted to laboratory or healthcare information systems (LIS or HIS).
The Clinitek Advantus Urine Chemistry Analyser is a high-performance chemistry analyser that requires no warm-up or calibration. The analyser features an immediate start-up mode to streamline operations and its automatic calibration improves analytical accuracy. The system maintains a high throughput of seven seconds per sample to boost laboratory productivity.
The system offers three user-defined sieve functions which automatically flag abnormal results and identify samples requiring follow-up testing.
A handheld bar code reader is used to identify sample, colour and clarity values to minimise errors, and a large memory capacity stores 500 patient results for convenient data retrieval. The analyser’s memory stores an additional 200 control results for regulatory documentation and an easily replaceable program card quickly updates the unit’s software to maintain state-of-the-art functionality.
The analyser delivers flexible reporting options, including visual display and printout or uploading to a laboratory information system. Its network-ready capability means that results can be shared within the medical centre’s HIS or regional health information network organisation (RHIO).
The system uses Siemens’ Multistix family of reagent test strips with test pads for leukocytes, protein, glucose, blood, ketone, specific gravity, nitrite and pH, billrubin, urobilinogen, creatinine and protein to creatnine ratio for urine chemistry analysis. The Clintek Advantus analyser is available in the US, Europe and Japan.
