Siemens has added the Clinitek Status+ Analyser and the Clinitek Status Connect System to its point-of-care urinalysis portfolio.
The Clinitek Status+ offers advanced quality checks to improve the accuracy of clinical information, including automatic checks for common sample interferences and a check for humidity over-exposure for selected urinalysis test strips.
The analyser saves valuable time by automatically identifying the type of urine test strip it is evaluating, eliminating manual-information entry.
The Clinitek Status+ can be upgraded to Clinitek Status Connect to support connectivity to the patient's electronic medical record or other data-management options.
The Clinitek Status Connect System combines the Clinitek Status+ Analyser with a connector platform to integrate data directly to Lims via Siemens' Rapidcomm point-of-care middleware, or other generic point-of-care data-management systems.
By automatically transmitting urinalysis patient and quality-control test results, the Clinitek Status Connect System streamlines documentation, eliminates manual transcriptions, improves productivity and reduces errors.
The Clinitek Status Connect can restrict access to specified users.
Up to 700 operators can be programmed, with varying levels of system access, preventing unauthorised use of the system.
Operator and patient identification, as well as lot and expiration dates, are also transmitted with test results to improve risk management of urinalysis test reporting.
The Clinitek Status Connect System enhances quality control (QC) management capabilities by allowing test lockout if quality controls are not achieved.
