Beckman Coulter Diagnostics announced that the new DxC 500i Clinical Analyzer received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The DxC 500i combines advanced technology with an intuitive user interface, ensuring that laboratories of all sizes can meet the growing demands of modern healthcare. With throughput of up to 800 clinical chemistry tests per hour and 100 immunoassay tests per hour, this analyzer delivers precise and reliable results critical for timely clinical decision-making.
The DxC 500i Clinical Analyzer features FlexMode operations, prioritizing immunoassay and chemistry testing according to each sample's urgency. The new dynamic sample handler manages repeats and re-runs without operator intervention and pulls in a new sample rack as soon as the previous rack is offloaded, optimizing rapid throughput in a compact footprint. Of equal importance, the DxC 500i Analyzer's intuitive interface supports even the newest users through proactive task indicators with step-by-step instructions, simplifying staff onboarding and training.
Prior to the DxC 500i Clinical Analyzer introduction, Beckman Coulter unveiled the DxC 500 AU Chemistry Analyzer, an automated clinical chemistry analyzer with onboard guided workflows, more than 120 assays, and standardized reagents for use across healthcare networks. The DxC 500i analyzer incorporates the DxC 500 AU technology within its clinical chemistry capabilities, including its Six Sigma performance.
