–Today’s healthcare environment requires clinical laboratories to
leverage business acumen on par with their levels of clinical
excellence. Today at the 2015 American Association of Clinical Chemistry
(AACC) Annual Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo, Sysmex is announcing it
is moving Beyond a Better Box™ to deliver a comprehensive and intuitive
ecosystem that will help laboratories thrive as the future unfolds. With
advances in four key areas, Sysmex aims to add even more value to
laboratory hematology operations through next generation diagnostics,
advanced tools and technologies, process optimization and harmonized
support known as BeyondCareSM.
“With the introduction
of the Sysmex® XN-Series Automated Hematology Analyzers, Sysmex
delivered a ‘better box’ that improves performance and overall
productivity. But even with the rapid uptake of the XN technology
platform and the highest ratings in the industry for system reliability,
Sysmex saw a great opportunity to go beyond a better box and create a
product and services model that’s predictive, evidenced-based and
actionable to better benefit customers,” said John Kershaw, President
& CEO, Sysmex America, Inc. “Our new model of laboratory support is
carefully engineered to improve operations, promote better outcomes and
enhance patient management practices to meet the future head on.”
Kershaw notes these four pillars of the Sysmex brand work together and help ensure the success of the lab moving forward.
- Next Generation Diagnostics In
the era of personalized medicine that dictates new approaches to the
study of hematologic disease and solid tumors, Sysmex enables the
automated delivery of reportable, advanced clinical parameters that may
help physicians speed diagnosis and streamline targeted therapeutic
responses for illnesses such as infection/inflammation, iron deficiency
and thrombocytopenia.
- Advanced Tools and Technologies Clinical
laboratories need business intelligence, including real-time data and
actionable insights that provide maximum control over processes across
the healthcare network. Sysmex offers an unmatched suite of advanced
tools and software systems that are specifically designed to provide
improved productivity and staffing decision-making. For example, My
Sysmex™, the industry’s first Mobile Lab Assistant for hematology,
interfaces seamlessly for anytime/anywhere access to analyzer operations
and support programs.
- Process Optimization Automation
that supports paperless processing, automated slidemaking and staining,
and standardization—among other lean processes in hematology—enables
laboratories of any size to benefit from workload balancing and
middleware decision management software support. Digital cell analysis
will become part of the routine CBC and differential to support
generalist technologists in the 24/7 laboratory environment.
- Harmonized Support Harmonized
service and support become more important as labs strive to do more
with less and as healthcare continues to move faster and faster. Lab
managers want a positive, integrated experience at every touch point of
care to maximize their uptime. BeyondCare is system support designed to
anticipate the needs of the lab and protect and maintain its investment
using an evidence-based approach that keeps the environment operating
at continuous peak performance. Strategically focused on preventing
problems before they ever occur, BeyondCare brings new levels of
insight, efficiency and agility to the lab.
Sysmex at AACC
During
the AACC meeting, Sysmex will showcase two new flow cytometers from
Sysmex Partec: CyFlow Cube 8 and the CyFlow Space. Sysmex will also
feature the Sysmex UF-1000i™ Automated Urine Particle Analyzer, which
enhances workflow and provides immediate analysis without the need for
sample pre-treatment. Sysmex will conduct demonstrations of Sysmex WAM™
Decision Support Software for the Clinical Laboratory, a management
tool that is now used by nearly 400 labs and healthcare facilities in
the U.S. and Canada. Visitors to the Sysmex booth can also learn about
the benefits of remote learning via Virtual Instructor-Led Training
(VILT) demonstrations.
Sysmex associates will be available
during the meeting to speak with clinical laboratory professionals about
Sysmex’s intuitive ecosystem, integrated automation for hematology,
middleware, cell image analysis and customer services. In addition,
Sysmex will host a comprehensive program of scientific and educational
presentations at the Sysmex booth #1109. For more information, visit:
