Iris
Diagnostics, a division of IRIS International, Inc., manufactures
and sells urinalysis systems for use in hospitals and commercial
laboratories worldwide. These systems perform both chemistry and
microscopic analyses. Iris Diagnostics' automated systems are designed
for workloads ranging from the largest hospitals to smaller laboratories
and process anywhere from a few specimens to hundreds of specimens
per day. Iris Diagnostics' systems are designed to provide users
faster and more complete results, plus labor savings over manual
methods of performing microscopy, one of the most labor intensive
procedures in a clinical laboratory.
Iris Diagnostics' in-vitro diagnostic
(IVD) imaging systems are based on patented and proprietary automated
intelligent microscopy (AIM) technology for automating microscopic
procedures performed in clinical laboratories. AIM combines Iris
Diagnostics' capabilities in automated specimen presentation, high-speed
digital processing hardware and software to classify and present
images of microscopic particles in easy-to-view displays. Iris Diagnostics
has created a family of automated microscopy systems. There are
more than 450 such systems installed worldwide.
The company's newest product is
the iQ®200
Automated Urine Microscopy Analyzer, which is a user-friendly,
bench top, fully automated analyzer that performs microscopy on
unspun specimens; simply load, press START and walk away. The iQ200
uses Auto-Particle Recognition (APR™) to identify and quantitate
twelve formed elements. Results can be auto-released based on user-defined
criteria. Images, not scattergrams, may be viewed on demand at the
workstation monitor, dramatically reducing the need for manual microscopy.
In addition, certain classes of particles may be sub-classified,
if desired.
Iris Diagnostics also offers the
iQ200
Automated Urinalysis System, which incorporates the iQ200
Automated Urine Microscopy Analyzer and the AUTION
MAX™ AX-4280 Automated Urine Chemistry Analyzer for labs
seeking a complete walk away solution to their urine chemistry and
urine microscopy testing needs. The AX-4280 provides a 12-test profile
including 9 chemistries, specific gravity by refractometer, color
and clarity. The chemistry and microscopy results are collated and
may be viewed together on the Results Screen at the workstation.
