Overview: The Iris Diagnostics iQ®200 Sprint Automated Urine Microscopy Analyzer (iQ200 Sprint) is the newest addition to the iQ200 Series. The analyzer uses digital imaging and Auto-Particle Recognition (APR™) software to classify urine particles into 12 categories and quantitatively report results. The iQ200 Sprint eliminates most technologist time used to prepare and interpret urine particle images by automating specimen preparation, image recognition and interpretation. With 101 samples per hour processing speed it allows for faster throughput and turn around times freeing up technologists required for more skilled tasks. Automated flow imaging analysis also provides a visual result as is found in standard microscopic analysis. The
iQ200 Sprint can function as a stand-alone microscopy analyzer or as part of the iQ200 Sprint Automated Urinalysis System with the AUTION MAX™ AX-4280 Automated Urine Chemistry Analyzer.
Technical
Description: The
iQ200 Sprint
processes samples at 101 samples per hour, auto-identifies and processes barcoded tube specimens in 10-position racks by mixing, sampling, and analyzing automatically. Optional Load and Unload Stations (shown above) will hold an additional 150 samples giving a total capacity of 210 samples. User-defined release criteria are checked and results are directly uploaded to the LIS or sent to an operator review screen based on these criteria. Specimen results can be edited, archived, retrieved, imported, exported and formatted into custom reports.
The iQ200 Sprint Analyzer completely automates urine microscopy:
