Point-of-care urinalysis analyzers are designed to provide immediate, accurate results at the patient's bedside. The Siemens Clinitek Advantus comes with a wide range of options and streamlines lab workflow with flexible operation.
This urinalysis analyzer provides automated reading of the Multistix® family of urinalysis tests such as Leukocyte, Nitrite, Protein, Blood, Glucose, Ketone, Bilirubin, Urobilinogen, pH, Specific Gravity, Creatinine and Protein-to-Creatinine Ratio. It comes with a throughput of 7 seconds/sample and provides consistent, reliable results, with one-touch switching between test strip configurations.
The Clinitek Advantus auto-checks for strip identification and humidity exposure, and improves data integrity. This analyzer also helps ensure quality results since every test strip is checked for humidity exposure to prevent reporting of false results. Users can benefit from consistent, reliable results, with one-touch switching between test strip configurations. Other key features include-
- Immediate start-up and automatic calibration
- Automatically read, interpreted, and documented Multistix® test strip results
- Easy-to-use color touchscreen
- Ability to consolidate microscopy results onto one patient record
- Increased control with automatic QC prompting and QC lockout capability to ensure compliance
- Convenient data retrieval for up to 500 patients by patient ID, and 200 control results
- Added QC features
It also comes with three sieve functions - confirmatory and microscopic to flag abnormal results for quick review and aids in results interpretation by adding sample interference notes. While the improved workflow eliminates the need for manually selecting urinalysis strip type, improved data integrity helps automatically identifying and reporting results only from validated Siemens strip types.
