Siemens Healthineers Atellica HEMA 570 Analyzer, Atellica HEMA 580 Analyzer

Siemens Healthineers has launched its Atellica 570 Analyzer and Atellica HEMA 580 Analyzer for high-volume hematology testing. The automated instruments provide complete blood count results with throughput of up to 120 tests per hour. The company said the instruments reduce daily maintenance, support rapid reagent changes, employ advanced data management capabilities to help provide consistent interpretations of results, send normal results to laboratory information systems, flag and code abnormalities that require a technician's evaluation, and provide guidance on follow-up steps such as dilution or slide reviews. The 570 instrument measures 43 cell parameters and the 580 instrument measures 55, including immature red blood cell indicators. Up to six of the 570 and 580 instruments can be integrated to increase throughput with automated workload balancing and reflexive testing with minimal operator involvement, the firm said.
