Coagulation analyzer CA-560

Sysmex CA-560: Cutting-edge coagulation analyzer for precise and rapid evaluation of coagulation profiles.

The Sysmex CA-560 is a coagulation analysis system that offers a compact and flexible solution for automating routine hemostasis testing in laboratories. With its ability to perform a wide variety of coagulation assays, it is especially suitable for clients dealing with a medium workload volume, while also serving as a reliable alternative in contingency situations, acting as a backup for larger systems.

One of the advantages of the Sysmex CA-560 is its standardization and ease of use. It utilizes the same reagents and consumables found in other Sysmex coagulation analyzers, ensuring consistency and compatibility across the product range. Additionally, its standardized sample rack simplifies the sample preparation and handling process, contributing to efficient and error-free operation.

With a standardized measurement system, the Sysmex CA-560 delivers reliable and reproducible results across all tests performed. This provides healthcare professionals with the confidence of accurate and consistent information for making informed clinical decisions. In addition to standard coagulation tests, the CA-560 can perform specific assays, such as quantitative D-Dimer quantification and Von Willebrand antigen analysis, offering a comprehensive range of functionalities.

To ensure maximum security and prevent sample identification errors, the Sysmex CA-560 uses a barcode identification system. This feature helps track each sample accurately, from collection to analysis, reducing the risk of mix-ups or data confusion and ensuring the integrity of the final results.

The Sysmex CA-560 is accompanied by intuitive software, offering a user-friendly interface with a touchscreen display. This simplified approach makes system operation easy and reduces the learning curve for operators. Furthermore, the CA family works with a logical and standardized software system across all analyzers, meaning professionals already familiar with other equipment in the line, such as the CA-540 and CA-1500, can easily use the CA-560 with little or no additional training. The CA software is highly capable of multitasking, providing exceptional flexibility to meet the specific needs of each laboratory.

Security and accuracy are key priorities of the Sysmex CA-560. With independent measurement channels for coagulometric, chromogenic, and immunologic tests, this analyzer can perform a wide variety of tests in parallel. Together with Siemens' coagulation reagents, the CA-560 enables the simultaneous execution of various routine and special tests, ensuring reliable and consistent results. Precision and accuracy are guaranteed for all parameters, thanks to state-of-the-art technology that maintains results within strict standards.

Additionally, the Sysmex CA-560 offers effective coagulation performance with minimal user intervention. After interfacing the device and immediately upon sample loading, the worklist is executed automatically, from start to finish. This means laboratory professionals can rely on the system to operate efficiently and autonomously, reducing the time and effort required to perform coagulation tests.

The Sysmex CA-560 comes equipped with an internal printer, providing additional convenience by producing printed records of test results directly from the equipment itself. This eliminates the need for a separate external printer, streamlining the workspace and improving laboratory efficiency.

In terms of connectivity, the CA-560 features a bidirectional RS-232C serial port for communication with the host computer. This interface allows for quick and effective data transfer between the analyzer and other laboratory information systems, facilitating integration and information exchange.

Regarding dimensions and weight, the main unit of the Sysmex CA-560 has dimensions of 540 x 490 x 470 mm (L x W x H), while the sample unit has similar dimensions. With a weight of 45 kg for both the main unit and the sample unit, the CA-560 offers a sturdy and stable structure, ensuring its durability and reliability even in busy laboratory environments.
