Henry Schein, Inc. has entered into a new exclusive distribution agreement with CytoChip Inc. for its product, the CitoCBC®? system, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k)-cleared device. Available now to Henry Schein customers in the United States, the CitoCBC system is the first cartridge-based Complete Blood Count (CBC) system to receive a CLIA Waiver, helping expand access to accurate, lab-quality testing at the point of care.

The CitoCBC system delivers full CBC results in approximately eight minutes, requires minimal staff training, and provides lab-quality accuracy by miniaturizing advanced fluorescent flow cytometry technology onto a cartridge for use in near-patient settings. Henry Schein's exclusivity in the United States includes ambulatory care settings such as physician offices, urgent care centers, as well as critical access hospitals with 25 patient beds or fewer. The exclusivity does not include long-term care or acute care facilities.
