Siemens Healthineers (Erlangen, Germany) is highlighting its newest innovations and trends in clinical diagnostics and point-of-care testing at AACC 2023.

At the Siemens AACC 2023 booth, experts will provide a high-level overview of Atellica Integrated Automation. Powered for workflow and workforce efficiency, the company’s Atellica Solution delivers control and simplicity so labs can drive better outcomes. Experts will also demonstrate how the IMMULITE 2000 XPi immunoassay system can address common challenges faced by specialty laboratories. Providing multiple tests on a single, easy-to-use analyzer, the IMMULITE 2000 XPi immunoassay system makes it simple for labs to scale capabilities without disrupting regular day-to-day operations. It allows consolidation of routine and specialty testing, including allergy, on a single platform in labs with low to medium test volumes. Labs can incorporate specialty testing, including allergy, into routine workloads without interrupting the lab workflow in labs with medium to high test volumes.

Visitors to the Siemens booth at AACC 2023 also had the first view of the newly-launched Atellica CI Analyzer, a compact testing system designed to tackle lab challenges. The Atellica CI Analyzer1 for immunoassay and clinical chemistry testing is the newest addition to Siemens’ Atellica in vitro diagnostics portfolio. The Atellica CI Analyzer makes it possible for both standalone labs and satellite labs of wider health networks to have the same reagents, consumables, and intelligent software as the company's flagship Atellica Solution—now condensed into a 1.9 square meters footprint ideal for smaller laboratories. The Atellica CI Analyzer aims to address labor shortage pain points and drive revenue growth, fostering agility beyond standardization and clinical equivalence.

Siemens is also demonstrating how labs can leverage the power of open connectivity with POC informatics. With its POCcelerator Data Management System, labs can simplify their POCT workflows and dramatically reduce workload for their staff. All patient results, quality controls, operators, reagents, and device data can be collected and reviewed in a clear and structured format in order to comply with regulatory guidelines. In addition, Siemens is demonstrating the utility of its non-invasive tests such as the ELF Test in the NALFD/NASH patient referral pathway, alongside its advancements in VWD diagnostics for improved management of bleeding patients. Among its solutions for critical care testing, Siemens is showcasing its epoc Blood Analysis System that securely delivers critical testing results at the patient-side in less than one minute and connects the entire team, so it doesn’t matter if the laboratory staff and caregivers work in different parts of the hospital.
