Siemens Healthineers launches Atellica HEMA 580 Analyzer to improve clinical decision-making
Siemens Healthineers now offers U.S. laboratories a comprehensive hematology solution that brings together automation, middleware, and remote digital slide review to help deliver time-sensitive patient results with greater consistency.
With nearly 500 million complete blood counts (CBCs) performed annually, workflow inefficiencies can directly impact clinical decision-making. The Atellica HEMA 580 Analyzer is designed for mid- to high-volume laboratories to simplify complex hematology workflows and help labs produce reliable, repeatable results—even with understaffing and volume pressures.
The Atellica HEMA 580 Analyzer offers proprietary 360° continuous sample mixing, which helps reduce preanalytical variability by keeping samples in motion prior to analysis. This supports accurate, consistent test results without additional manual steps, even when samples wait before processing. The analyzer can produce test results in as few as 30 seconds, with advanced reticulocyte and platelet parameters available within 60 seconds.
Enhanced process control drives consistent decision-making across staff experience levels. Normal results are automatically released to the laboratory information system while abnormal samples are held for review. Rule-based guidance helps staff follow approved laboratory protocols to address each abnormal result.
Laboratory workflows are further enhanced with Scopio X100 and Scopio X100HT imaging platforms, which operate alongside the Atellica HEMA 580 Analyzer to deliver high-resolution, AI-powered digital morphology for peripheral blood smears. Bi-directional connectivity with Atellica Data Manager enables remote review of CBC results and differentials within a unified digital workspace, while connectivity to multidisciplinary automation tracks enables labs to scale their operations as testing demands evolve.
