Features & Benefits

Integri-sense™ Technology – Redefining System and Sample Integrity

  • Comprehensive series of analyzer functional checks and flagging mechanisms deliver accurate test results
  • Performs frequent quality and blood integrity checks before, during, and after every patient sample
  • Helps reduce time to diagnosis and treatment with robust accuracy from sample to sample
  • Three levels of independent automatic quality control, multiple calibration routines, and advanced software algorithms enable reliable and clinically actionable test results
  • Siemens Healthineers-designed Integri-sense™ Technology—the guardian of patient results

Heightened System and Data Security – Minimizing System Vulnerability

  • Provides latest defenses to guard confidential patient data coupled with leading built-in technology to protect your institution from external cybersecurity threats
  • WINDOWS 10 operating system with McAfee embedded anti-malware to block unknown and unauthorized programs from running
  • Two-step authentication process, encrypted password requirement for patient data transfer, and firewall to block hacking attempts

Simplicity - Allowing You More Time to Focus on Your Patients

  • Maintenance-free analyzer with user-friendly interface enables you to spend more time improving patient outcomes and less time acquiring results
  • Fully cartridge-based analyzer, with no maintenance requirements
  • Measurement cartridge includes planar sensors, sample probe, and CO-ox chamber (replaced with every new cartridge)
  • Unique sample port is part of the advanced clot management and air bubble detection mechanism
  • Only 100 µL of sample is necessary to run a full panel
  • Syringe and capillary samples handled the same, and operator variability eliminated with hands-free automatic sampling
