Patient testing set to be overhauled with automation from Siemens Healthineers that tackles lab workflow and staffing challenges
Siemens Healthineers now offers Atellica Integrated Automation on the Atellica CI Analyzer, to consolidate 25 tasks typically handled manually by clinical laboratory staff.
Atellica Integrated Automation incorporates sample management, decapper, and sealer functionality within the Atellica CI Analyzer. With Atellica Integrated Automation, laboratories with lower patient testing volumes or a finite amount of space in their laboratory now have access to automation capabilities incorporated primarily within high-volume testing or mega-labs.
For laboratories trying to maintain operations with fewer staff, Atellica Integrated Automation becomes laboratory professionals’ extra set of hands.
With Atellica Integrated Automation, a single technologist can manage calibration and QC, daily sorting, and archiving processes in minutes—tasks that historically may have taken hours. Fewer repetitive, manual tasks enable laboratory professionals to reallocate their time to value-add or growth activities, such as training and mentoring employees, or quality control efforts.
Automating these processes also reduces waste, increases the number of samples a laboratory can run, and creates opportunity for laboratories to run a wider range of tests to support patient care as testing needs shift.
