RINALYSIS FORWARD Today’s urinalysis

departments need both advanced technology and truly

innovative strategies. That’s why Beckman Coulter offers Iris, a complete

urinalysis testing solution. Iris optimizes and advances urinalysis and body fluid testing through a proprietary technology called

Digital Flow Morphology —an advanced technology that makes scatter

plot evaluation a thing of the past. With Digital Flow Morphology, Iris empowers labs to

accelerate delivery of accurate patient results and reduce unnecessary

repeat testing. That’s workflow improvement your lab

can count on.

Improved Workflow

› Automation: Delivers walk-away efficiency

› Less subjectivity: Standardizes results with Auto-Particle Recognition (APR) Software

› Optimized labor: Achieves one of the lowest review rates in the industry

› Time savings: Reduces manual microscopic review and repeat testing

Reduced Urine Cultures

› Less wasted time: Dramatically reduces unnecessary workload

› Strategic planning: Frees labor resources for other areas

› Testing innovation: Improves patient outcomes

ADVANCE YOUR URINALYSIS WITH AUTOMATION

Increased Clinical Confidence

› Less unnecessary work: Identifies samples not likely to require a urine culture

› More insight: Provides a complete picture of specimen status through multiple parameters

› Advanced clinical results: Drives better results with standardization

A Better Bottom Line

Investing in an innovative Iris urinalysis automation system strengthens your institution’s fiscal goals by lowering your operating budget, increasing worker efficiency and supporting enhanced disease management through advanced technology.

iRICELL SERIES: COMPLETE URINALYSIS WORKCELLS

iRICELL 3000 240 Chemistry & 101 Microscopic samples / hour

iRICELL 2000 240 Chemistry & 70 Microscopic samples / hour

iRICELL 1500 210 Chemistry & 40 Microscopic samples / hour

Automated Technology for Today’s ChallengesAutomating urinalysis through the iRICELL series of integrated workcell systems not only increases efficiency, it also enables skilled technologists to manage multiple tasks simultaneously, which drives overall productivity. Benefits include:

iQ200 SERIES OF SYSTEMS

The iQ200 series of systems are designed for all volume workloads, producing shortened turnaround times and standardized results. These instruments are available as either a stand-alone system, or connected to an iChemVELOCITY urine chemistry system to form an automated iRICELL workcell.

› Effortless operation: Just load samples, press START and walk away

› Better workload management

iQ200SPRINT One of the fastest automated systems

on the market, meeting high-volume productivity and workload requirements

101 Microscopic samples / hour

iQ200ELITE Manages medium to high volume workload

70 Microscopic samples / hour

iQ200SELECT Perfect for low volume workload

40 Microscopic samples / hour

A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND SCATTER PLOTSIris iRICELL complete urinalysis workcells delivers precise digital images of the particles with a proprietary technology, Digital Flow Morphology. With this technology, Iris provides clear, clinically relevant urine particle images that can be examined on the screen, at the instrument.

Performance

Proven Technology for Quality Results

› Standardized automation provides objective, reproducible results

Productivity

Streamlined Processes and Faster TAT

› Analyzes urine and body fluids in the same run

› Auto-releases results to the LIS based on customized parameters

Value

Return on Investment

› Stores archived images for patient monitoring and technologist training

› Minimizes specimen contamination through reduction of sample handling

Digital Flow Morphology: Discover the Difference With Digital ImagesDigital Flow Morphology is unparalleled technology as it isolates, identifies and characterizes particles on the screen, virtually eliminating the need for manual microscopic examination. This patented flow-imaging microscopy uses a high-definition digital camera to individually capture images of each particle in a sample. Using these images, the particles are automatically classified by the Auto-Particle Recognition (APR) Software for quick on-screen verification.

See the Clear Advantages

Why not include body fluids in your testing? Exclusively from Iris, the

Iris iQ200 Body Fluids Module provides automated red blood cell counts and

nucleated cell counts in cerebrospinal fluids, serous fluids and synovial fluids

to provide accurate results without compromising performance. Body fluids

particles are also processed by Digital Flow Morphology. This fully automated

digital imaging solution delivers unmatched quality and accuracy.

Take the Next Step Toward Innovation

Available from Beckman Coulter, Iris urinalysis solutions help move labs forward. Our technology lowers manual review rates and enables true standardization for optimized end-to-end workflow and increased efficiencies.

iChem100 Semi-automated Urine Chemistry SystemThe perfect backup to the iChemVELOCITY urine chemistry

system or as a stand-alone urine chemistry system. Integrates into an iRICELL1500 to provide total up time.

iCHEMVELOCITY URINE CHEMISTRY SYSTEM

CLOSE-UP ON CHEMISTRYIris offers a range of urine chemistry solutions, from easy-to-read visual strips to a fully automated urinalysis chemistry system.

The iChemVELOCITY system evaluates all 12 of the standard urine chemistry parameters, including glucose, protein, bilirubin, urobilinogen, pH, specific gravity, blood, ketones, nitrite, leukocyte esterase, color and clarity. Additionally, it has a pad on the strip specific for measuring the presence of ascorbic acid, a potential interfering substance.
