The Siemens Sysmex CA-560 system is a compact, fully automated system featuring immunologic, coagulation, and chromogenic measurements in true random-access, allowing any sized lab to automate their testing process. With the smallest footprint in its class and easy-to-use features, this analyzer simplifies D-dimer testing in low-volume laboratories.
The Sysmex CA-560 performs clotting, chromogenic, and immunologic testing simultaneously and runs patient samples in conjunction with quality control samples. The simple touch screen interface coupled with bi-directional LIS communication promotes easy and efficient operation. Ease of use and low maintenance features allow for economic testing. This broad assay menu on this small analyzer includes Prothrombin Time (PT), PT INR, Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT), Fibrinogen, Antithrombin, and D-dimer. Its bi-directional interface and built-in quality-control functions promote confidence in testing.
Other features of this coagulation analyzer include:
- Removable reagent trays for ease-of-use
- Easy result management with a built-in printer
- No cuvette waste that facilitates efficient processing
- Built-in bar code reader that provides positive sample identification
- Automatic software checks that detects antigen excess for immunoassays
It signals expired reagents with warning messages and also auto-calibrates the clotting LEDs for precise detection of derived fibrinogen.
Ideally sized as a backup instrument for the Sysmex CA-1500 and CA-7000 Systems or as a basic instrument for smaller peripheral laboratories, this system allows the small-volume lab to run on one analyzer. Leading lab equipment suppliers offer this analyzer refurbished with a 90-day parts warranty. Lab professionals can also choose other quality coagulation analyzers from these dealers.
