Automated hematology analyzer DxH 560

compactintegrated system5-part differentiation

Overview
The DxH 560 Autoloader Hematology Analyzer is a compact, high‑performance, physician office/clinical hematology analyzer designed to save time and resources, reduce manual interventions, and deliver high‑quality results—including for patients with difficult draws. It provides comprehensive data management in a small footprint and supports continuous on‑the‑fly loading of samples.

Key benefits

• Compact, high‑performance analyzer with proven reliability and paperless data management.
• Autonomous daily cleaning and hands‑free daily start to reduce preparation delays and maintenance burden.
• Continuous on‑the‑fly autoloading with capacity to load and process up to 50 samples; continuous loading offers more than double the capacity of the nearest competitor in its class.
• High uptime with design targeted at less than one maintenance visit per year.
• Stores up to 30,000 patient records for easy retrieval and delta checks, reducing administrative errors.
• Improved five‑part differential accuracy using patented dynamic selection cytometry technology, reducing alerts vs static selection.

Operational features

• Autoloader mode with continuous feed for up to 50 tubes (on‑the‑fly loading) and open tube mode.
• Compact footprint with integrated monitor and keyboard; only one external reagent required for operation.
• Simple reagent replacement: stores and manages three reagents; fewer reagents than many competitors.
• Security and patient data protection features including PHI encryption, configurable user login, account lock thresholds and automatic logout timers.

Clinical and workflow advantages

• Reliable five‑part WBC differential with dynamic population selection to improve identification of complex cell populations (lymphocytes, eosinophils, etc.) and reduce unnecessary slide reviews.
• Capability to run low‑volume samples (aspiration volume as low as 17 µL) for neonates, geriatrics, oncology and other difficult‑draw patient groups.
• Pediatric reporting supported with extensive DxH pediatric reference intervals for confident pediatric result notification.

Documentation and QC
The system supports extended QC features (12 control files up to 150 analyses each) with LJ, XB, XM and eIQAP charts and automatic QC repeat functionality.
