The DxH 690T's automated capabilites are a significant benefit because of worker shortages and financial pressures in healthcare. Beckman Coulter designed the DxH 690T with medium-sized hospitals and mid-volume laboratories in mind to increase walkaway times, minimize touchpoints and maximize uptime.
Significantly, the DxH 690T also supports early detection of sepsis for adult patients in the emergency department with the Early Sepsis Indicator (ESId). The only FDA-cleared hematology biomarker for sepsis, ESId measures monocyte distribution width (MDW) to provide insight into the often deadly condition. Unlike existing hematology analyzers, Beckman Coulter's DxH 690T includes ESId that extracts information about sepsis' presence through monocyte morphology. Beckman Coulter's technology uniquely identifies changes in the volume of the monocyte population that can aid in detecting patients with sepsis or at risk for sepsis.
"While competitors typically eliminate some features and capabilities for the mid-volume market, Beckman Coulter retains as many high-volume analyzer capabilities and features as possible," noted John Scarpa Industry Analyst. "The instrument leverages the company's experience in hematology innovation and complements its broad hematology portfolio, including the DxH 520 for low-volume, the DxH 900 for high-volume, and the DxH connected workcell solutions for ultra-high-volume facilities."
