1 Three Systems, One Touch Merging advanced robotics with optimized STAT prioritization, the VersaCell X3 Solution links as many as three systems to deliver easy, one-touch sample management. Answers for life.

2 Introducing the VersaCell X3 Solution The VersaCell X3 Solution* with one-touch sample management uses advanced robotics with optimized STAT management to connect up to three systems and provide the optimal mix of chemistry and/or immunoassay analytics. This empowers laboratories to advance workflow capabilities, streamline processes, and meet changing needs with agility all at a cost laboratories can justify. Previously, we had to have a medical lab associate (MLA) sort 60 to 80 samples a day for esoteric tests, but [the VersaCell X3 Solution] will automatically do that for us. This will dramatically reduce the 90 minutes to two hours that it takes to manually sort, and this is the single biggest factor that we like about it. Derek Parrington, Operational Manager, Efficient processing: four 50-position drawers enable a 200-sample capacity and continuous loading Effective STAT management: 8-position priority drawer facilitates prioritization of urgent samples with minimal disruption of routine-sample processing Useful sample retrieval: integrated sample tracking and archiving respond to a multitude of postanalytical processing needs Adaptable tube management: both round- and flat-bottomed tubes can be conveniently used by operators in their sampling processes One-touch sample management The VersaCell X3 Solution consolidates as many as three Siemens systems through a single operator interface. Sample sorting and analysis are all programmed and executed from one centralized location, powering complete sample management at the push of a button. Increased system uptime: new design helps accomplish effective management of VersaCell X3 Solution downtime during scheduled or unscheduled system maintenance events Improved time and accuracy: intuitive software provides visual cues for effective error resolution for every connected system, all through a single operator interface Practical pre- and post-analytical sorting: benefits of a track-based automation system without the spatial or budgetary requirements 2 *Product availability varies by country. 3

3 Advance Workflow Capabilities Streamline Operational Efficiencies The VersaCell X3 Solution does more than just consolidate sample handling with one efficient interface. It streamlines an entire laboratory s workload, reducing hands-on operator time and increasing productivity by balancing clinical responsibilities with analytical throughput. By providing a primary tube, the VersaCell X3 Solution allows laboratories to reduce unnecessary waste that is traditionally produced by pre-analytical aliquotting. With the total solution s built-in automated processes, operators are able to access reagents, supplies, and samples precisely when they are needed, and without interrupting the sampling process. The major advantage that the VersaCell X3 Solution gives us is one point of entry into all the [tests]. You put the samples in one position, and you can always find them because you don t have to move them again before completion. Paul Naylor, Senior Biomedical Scientist, The simple software helps because the training is very quick and easy. We have staff moving across sites. We can bring them in, [and in] five minutes we ve got them using the system. Derek Parrington, Operational Manager, The dedicated STAT priority drawer allows for the prioritization of up to eight urgent samples with minimal disruption to routine sample processing. The robotic arm offers 360 of motion, which translates to innovative automation and space-saving efficiency. The VersaCell X3 Solution provides one-touch sample management that can: Reduce sample wait time and maintain predictable turnaround time (TAT) with independent sample management that delivers samples to the correct system, every time Prioritize STAT samples with the dedicated STAT priority drawer Increase system uptime with automated maintenance procedures and independent systems operation when required Automate sorting for sample batching, send-away, and/or in-house testing Load up to 208 samples efficiently and easily Limit confusion for both pre- and post-analytical workloads, while also expanding testing options for any given sample, through a single operator interface Benefits for all Space Resources Staff Space-saving technologies drive smaller footprints for both systems and operators, alike. Direct, primary tube processing offers less sample splitting to utilize onboard, laboratory-driven reagent capacities that help save time and materials. With independent maintenance and sample functions, along with single-point operator access, the need for manual operation is cut drastically, translating to more efficient use of your laboratory s assets and your team s talents. 4 5

4 Meet Changing Needs with Agility Improve Productivity at a Cost Laboratories Can Justify CentraLink is the best middleware I ve used. The QC package is excellent, and the fact that it s color-coded means you can set things up to make training easier. Derek Parrington, Operational Manager, CentraLink Data Management System With the ability to further increase consolidation capabilities, the VersaCell X3 Solution offers the opportunity for additional data management power, driven by the CentraLink Data Management System. Harness the power of informatics to review results, manage QC, incorporate complex testing algorithms, and enable connectivity across multiple Siemens systems at multiple sites. The VersaCell X3 Solution is designed to meet a multitude of needs, empowering laboratories to: Select systems and menus to meet their clinical demands Reduce operator travel time with the ability to request calibrations, monitor quality control (QC), and review results, all from a single operator interface Even if needs change, the VersaCell X3 Solution can change with them. Through a selection of Siemens systems, laboratories can constantly evolve their total solutions to meet the challenges they face, both today and tomorrow. Get connected. The VersaCell X3 Solution offers tailored configuration options such as: ADVIA Suite: ADVIA 1800 Chemistry Systems with ADVIA Centaur XP Immunoassay Systems and/or IMMULITE Immunoassay Systems Dimension Suite: Dimension EXL Integrated Chemistry Systems and Dimension RxL Max Integrated Chemistry Systems with Siemens Immunoassay Systems The VersaCell X3 Solution is engineered to increase laboratory productivity at a cost laboratories can justify. Utilize different reagent formats for specific testing requirements to reduce waste for lowor high-volume test selection. Reduce operator hands-on time with the solution s limited required maintenance and minimal service interruptions. Make an easy choice with the system s expandable operator interface and menu capabilities for in-house testing. Connect systems based on current menu and workflow requirements. Consolidate up to three Siemens systems through a single sample interface to help facilitate future expansion or menu needs. The VersaCell X3 Solution can evolve to meet the changing needs of laboratories, both present and future. The VersaCell X3 Solution With a wide range of configurations, the VersaCell X3 Solution equips laboratories with the ability to pick the specific system(s) and menu(s) they need. Connecting as many as three Siemens systems to a single, intuitive interface, the VersaCell X3 Solution has been engineered to advance workflow capabilities, streamline processes, and meet changing needs with agility, all at a cost laboratories can justify. It s sample management built with a laboratory s goals in mind. It s sample management at the push of a button. Sample management at the push of a button.
