The Sysmex UF-1000i Urine Analyzer: precision for urinary diagnostics
The Sysmex UF-1000i is a next-generation urine analyzer that revolutionizes sediment analysis in the laboratory by automating the laborious process of traditional microscopic examination. It employs flow cytometry technology combined with specific fluorescent stains to accurately identify the formed elements present in urine samples. From the moment it is powered on, the device performs a series of self-checks to ensure optimal system operation before each use, making it a highly reliable and safe instrument. The central unit, equipped with an intuitive user interface, allows for smooth navigation thanks to its integrated Windows operating system. The operator is guided through every step of the process, from startup to result validation, significantly reducing handling errors.
The system can process samples in automatic mode via a barcode-equipped tube rack or manually for greater flexibility. In automatic mode, samples are aspirated precisely using barcode identification, ensuring perfect traceability of analyses. The required sample volume is optimized to guarantee maximum efficiency, even with low-volume specimens. After aspiration, the UF-1000i performs a comprehensive analysis of the urinary sediment, quantifying red blood cells, white blood cells, epithelial cells, casts, bacteria, and yeasts. These critical parameters for diagnosing urinary tract infections, kidney diseases, or metabolic disorders are delivered with impressive speed, enabling accelerated medical decision-making.
This device is also designed for simplified maintenance, with automated cleaning cycles and clear maintenance alerts to ensure optimal operation. Quality management is at the core of the UF-1000i, with configurable quality control files and integrated statistical analysis using Levy-Jennings charts to maintain result reliability over time. If any control limits are exceeded, the system immediately alerts the user and proposes verification or recalibration procedures.
Thanks to its easy integration with laboratory information systems (LIS), the Sysmex UF-1000i enables seamless result communication and automatic analysis report generation. This improves workflow and enhances patient data security. The overall ergonomics of the device, combined with its high analytical performance, make it the preferred choice for laboratories seeking a robust, fast, and reliable solution for urine analysis. A true diagnostic support tool, the Sysmex UF-1000i provides essential added value to optimize care quality and improve patient management on a daily basis.
