XN-9000 WORKLOAD BALANCE:
Right at the heart of things, rather than an accessory.
When the tube sorter becomes the sample manager
Workload Balance
XN-9000 Workload Balance assumes the
registration of the EDTA tubes completely and fully
automatically. It also takes on order management,
including communication with the LIS.

■
The tube sorter becomes the EDTA sample manager: it registers the
sample entry, retrieves the initial orders (haematology, HbA 1c , ESR, PCR, …),
groups the EDTA samples according to the ordered profiles and then
optimises the tube – rack assignment.
■
The intelligent workflow management ensures maximum analytical sample
throughput with minimum cycle time. This allows all the EDTA analysis orders
to be consolidated in one tube per patient, so that the time and material
input, and therefore the costs, can be reduced.

After complete processing of the orders, the tubes are archived fully
automatically or, where there are still outstanding analysis orders,
are sorted for subsequent work areas.
■
Reliable turnaround time with high sample throughput – even with
a broad or specialised diagnostic spectrum.
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
■
The Extended IPU is an integral component of all XN-9000 configurations.
■
The Web Viewer (optional application), as a link between the laboratory
and clinic, enables clinicians on their wards to look directly at the results of
their analysis orders – including graphic information.

The racks containing the unsorted sample tubes are loaded into
the rack entry of the tube sorter (TS) of the XN-9000.

Registration of the racks and tubes at the bar-code terminal (BT).
4a. Racks with sample tubes for CBC/DIFF analyses move to the
right-hand and central XN modules for measurement. Rerun (e.g.
for HGB) or reflex analyses with an order extension from CBC to
DIFF can be performed immediately on every XN analysis module.
4b. Racks with sample tubes initially requiring RET analysis are
transported immediately to the left-hand XN analysis module.

4c. For additional reflex analyses (WPC, PLT-F, ...) following the initial
analysis, the samples are directed to the left-hand XN analysis module.
5.
Automated smear preparation and staining in the SP-10
following rule-based criteria.
6. Return of the racks via the return line to the TS for archiving or
pre-sorting for other work areas in the laboratory.
