The IMMULITE 2000 XPi system, the newest member of the Siemens IMMULITE product family, offers the largest automated immunoassay test menus available today and features several innovative hardware and software solutions to enhance productivity and efficiency for medium- to high- volume clinical laboratories. New workflow efficiency and productivity features on the IMMULITE 2000 XPi system include an AutoStart feature which automates daily maintenance, and an Automated Rack Loader which enables users to load patient samples without pausing the system. Additionally, the IMMULITE 2000 XPi system delivers Internet-based remote monitoring capabilities and an enhanced user-friendly touch-screen interface. The IMMULITE XPi system was released outside of the United States in 2009, and has received positive feedback to date. According to Mark Harrison, Senior Biomedical Scientist at The Yorkshire Clinic, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom, “We upgraded to the IMMULITE 2000 XPi system less than one year ago, and are already extremely pleased with how the system has helped to improve workflow and drive efficiencies for our lab. For example, a significant benefit for our lab has been the AutoStart function, because it automatically runs the daily maintenance and quality control checks. It has helped us receive 90 percent of the QC results by 10 a.m., allowing for faster time to the first patient result.” “For medium and high-volume laboratories, optimizing efficiency and consolidating testing processes continue to be among their biggest priorities,” said Dave Hickey, CEO, Chemistry, Immunoassay, Automation, and Diagnostics IT Business Unit, Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics. “FDA clearance of the IMMULITE 2000 XPi system means we can now offer the U.S. laboratory market an advanced immunoassay system designed specifically to meet these needs. We’re proud to be able to deliver this latest addition of the IMMULITE family of products to this important market and will continue to focus on delivering highly efficient, reliable immunoassay testing solutions our customers depend on.” Since its introduction in 1992, the IMMULITE family of systems has grown to be a premier brand in immunoassay testing and offers the flexibility to connect to the StreamLAB® Analytical Workcell, the VersaCell® System or ADVIA® Automation Solutions.
