ADVIA 560 and 560 AL Hematology Systems

Maximum output with minimal user intervention

The ADVIA^® 560 and 560 AL Hematology Systems deliver optimal performance and adaptability to low- and mid-volume laboratories. The optional autoloader for the ADVIA 560 AL system streamlines automatic sampling to give laboratories even greater workflow efficiency.

Fast, high-quality CBC testing in any laboratory environment

• Runs up to 60 samples per hour
• Processes aspiration volumes as low as 110 µL
• Measures 26 parameters, including a 5-part white blood cell differential*
• Allows manual sampling of both open and closed tubes
• Aids in interpreting disease-state information with two scattergrams and two histograms per result

Intuitive hardware features for accurate and rapid results

• Cap-piercing function for accurate sampling and reduced biohazard risk
• Automatic anticlogging and cleaning procedures are employed after every 15th sample
• Easy-to-operate color touchscreen with intuitive, icon-based software
• Choice of manual or automatic calibration
• Handheld bar-code reader for easy entry of patient ID and control information
• Integrated ticket printer streamlines result reporting without delaying tests in progress

Easy-to-use software features and customizable options

• Maximum storage capacity of 100,000 results
• Multilingual operating menu enables usability among diverse staff
• Bidirectional LIS communication facilitates easy patient data transfer between laboratories and minimizes paper-based worklists
• Flexible and efficient interface enables uploading of reference data via USB and QR codes
• Customizable printing options include tabular reports
• Built-in diagnostic flagging system automatically alerts operator to abnormal results

Simple upgrade for a true walk-away system

• Flexibility to add the autoloader to any ADVIA 560 system at any time
• 100 primary sample-tube capacity (10 racks of 10 sample tubes each)
• Ability to accept a variety of tubes
• Onboard mixing system and cap recognition sensor to ensure that only cap-piercable tubes are mixed and processed
• Integrated bar-code reader for positive sample ID

 

Technology
Laser light scatter technology for 5-part WBC differential
Impedance method for CBC
Light absorbance for HGB measurement

Parameters
26 parameters, including 5-part differential with two histograms and scattergrams for RBC and PLT: BASO, WBC, LYM, MON, NEU, EOS, BAS, LYM%, MON%, NEU%, EOS%, BAS%, RBC, HCT, MCV, RDW-SD,^† RDW-CV, HGB, MCH, MCHC, PLT, PCT,^† MPV, PDW-SD,^† PDW-CV,^† P-LCC,^† P-LCR^†

Sample Stability
Sample stability is characterized by the absolute and percent difference from the baseline values measured 30 minutes after venipuncture for WBC, NEU%, NEU, LYM%, LYM, MON%, MON, EOS%, EOS, BAS%, BAS, RBC, RDW, and PLT. For MPV, the baseline is 2 hours after venipuncture. The expected stability is 7 hours from venipuncture.

Reagents
Three cyanide-free reagents (Diluent, Lyse, and Cleaner)
