Software for Analyzers in Blood Centers

The standard software of this analyzer is geared toward the need for complete blood chemistries (CBC) and other diagnostic information. The needs of blood-donor centers are very different.

"We are interested in the donor's ability to provide platelet packs--even multiple packs from a single donor during a single visit,” explained Peggy Barranco, product manager, Sysmex. "If the donor does not have a high-enough platelet count to do this, they may still be able to qualify for donation of packed red cells or whole blood. The pocH-100i provides accurate results by evaluating donors to maximize the benefit of their precious donation.” The software can report the results via a transmission to a remote site for result review and can capture the identification of the operator, if desired.

The new software also makes use of the pocH-100i as a perfect complement to the Sysmex XE-2100D, used at blood-processing centers. In a diagnostic setting, the poc-H100i provides a quick turnaround of results, while the patient is still in the doctor's office, to facilitate treatment decisions on the spot. This helps the doctor, the patient, and the office staff. A new quality-control program uses bar-coded entry of control and reagent parameters to simplify quality control procedures while reducing manual error entry.
