the AutoVue® Inova, ordering of requests
can be facilitated by barcode scanning and labeling
of apparatus would be omitted. Moreover, there are two
built-in centrifuges in the system; STAT (priority) samples
can be assigned at anytime even though there may be a
batch of samples in progress. The delay processing time of
the STAT sample only was at most 3 min when comparing
to a single specimen processing in an idle system. The automated
system showed an improvement of the workflow
by application of barcode recognition system, and the STAT
mode function. The most important patient identification
issue can be facilitated by advance technology that can
greatly decrease the possibility of human error and alleviate
the pressure of the operators.
turnaround time for samples processing by the AutoVue® Innova is 22 minutes
Antibody screening results are available in 22 minutes
