Beckman Coulter, Inc. Launches New Data Manager REMISOL Advance v1.4

ORANGE COUNTY, CALIF. (August 16, 2010) – Beckman Coulter’s new REMISOL Advance* data management system links analyzers and laboratory information systems (LIS) through a single workstation providing technicians with a comprehensive real-time view of the clinical laboratory testing lifecycle.

Designed to improve laboratory turnaround times and productivity and reduce medical errors, the REMISOL Advance* system manages the laboratory process from the initial test request, through verification and release of results, to the laboratory information system (LIS). The new system is capable of managing Beckman Coulter instruments, including automation, chemistry, special chemistry; i class integrated systems, immunoassay, hematology and hemostasis platforms.

REMISOL Advance v1.4 includes new features such as additional interfaces to Beckman Coulter’s AU Instruments, DxH systems and ACL TOP** systems. The improved user interface features workflow enhancements and better usability. Utilizing the new Wide Area Networking (WAN) and Local Area Networking (LAN) configurations, REMISOL Advance simplifies and streamlines workflow, and enables technicians to program and review test requests for all interfaced instruments.

Other new offerings include a Comprehensive Service package that starts with implementation and offers coverage throughout the lifetime of REMISOL Advance.

REMISOL Advance v1.4 makes improvements on existing features of the single-screen view – now providing automated STAT notifications and alerts regarding critical patient results, minimizing processing delays and speeding delivery of critical sample results to clinicians. Autoverification allows tests with normal results to be released to the LIS so technologists can focus their efforts on priority patient samples. In the case of critical or life-threatening results, technicians are immediately notified and provided with instructions on the next steps required to eliminate delays and reduce turnaround times.

The REMISOL Advance v1.4 is backed by technical training that includes both onsite and offsite options, and post-maintenance support and troubleshooting. Dedicated data management training and technical support are also available.

Additionally, REMISOL Advance offers optional modules such as Command Central for instrument management and the Extended Quality Control software module for managing quality control material and monitoring system using statistical information.
