(SWOT) Many mid-sized hospitals now perform both immunoassay (IA) and infectious disease (ID) testing, but do not have the capital budget or floor space for a large integrated system. These labs require a single analyzer characterized by a small footprint, assay flexibility and high productivity that meets lab testing protocols. This article examines 5 analyzers currently in use and evaluates their productivity. The product review protocol consisted of observing each competitive system in an operating lab for 2 days. Detailed time study data and operator comments/feedback were collected. Additionally, the daily worklist of patient samples and ordered tests was recorded. These “real-world” worklists were then run on the ADVIA Centaur CP and the same detailed time study data was recorded. The observed lab operations and worklist comparisons were the basis of the productivity evaluation within a working lab environment. |
