1 WORKFLOW WITHOUT THE WORK Power Express Clinical Automation Solution Beckman Coulter automation expedites patient care and enhances operational efficiency in the laboratory by delivering rapid and consistent results.

2 DELIVER QUALITY RESULTS AND IMPROVE YOUR OPERATIONS WITH POWER EXPRESS Achieve both operational and clinical improvements with our high-speed automation solution. Operational efficiencies Clinical effectiveness Lean automation eliminates bottlenecks for consistent workflow, improving FTE utilization and expediting delivery of results. Consolidated, multi-disciplinary workflow employs a single point of entry for all core laboratory disciplines, enhancing operational efficiencies. Scalable automation serves all network facilities from community hospitals to reference laboratories and provides the freedom to grow your menu and capacity throughout the laboratory. Fast results consistently deliver turnaround times below 30 minutes in the 90th percentile, increasing physician satisfaction and speed to clinical decisions. Reliable results help increase focus on critical patients and outliers and are supported by built-in component redundancy, IT integration and intelligent sample management for reduced errors and increased diagnostic confidence. 2

3 EXPERIENCE LEAN AUTOMATION WITH POWER EXPRESS The increased throughput of Power Express allows you to optimize your laboratory for increased testing capacity and revenue while enhancing the quality, reliability and use of your technicians valuable time and skills. 4c 1 2 3c 3a 4a 6 5 3b 4b 1 Dynamic inlet The system features a single point of entry for all specimens, remapping of specimens for analysis on non-connected instruments and dynamic sorting for STAT, routing or centrifuge bypass. 2 Fast centrifugation The fastest processing speed, spin time and unloading allows specimens to route to the analyzers in under 12 minutes in order to expedite sample analysis. 3 Built-in redundancy Experience enhanced reliability and uptime with redundancy in the aliquot module, decappers (3a), recappers (3b) and centrifuge components (3c). 4 Industry-leading instrumentation Connect to the highest-speed instruments (4a), state-of-the-art hematology and third-party coagulation (4b) or immunoassay (4c) methods. 5 Scalable specimen storage The system features multiple scalable storage options from a dedicated outlet with remapping and retrieval. Industryleading refrigerated stockyards offer hands-free post-analytics. 6 Intelligent sample management Driven by Cennexus line-control software, REMISOL Advance data management and RFID, the system s flexible four lanes route specimens efficiently with hands-free reruns and add-on testing. I believe that automation has allowed us to focus more on patient care issues that arise. By not having to focus on tasks that don t add intellectual value to the process, technologists have more time to work up the critical values, look at delta checks and try to understand if there s something in the patient s clinical course that might explain the delta-check failure, and request a re-draw if necessary.

4 CORE LABORATORY CONSOLIDATION PROVIDES IMPROVED OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCIES Power Express connects all core disciplines on one line, providing a single point of entry for all core laboratory tubes, including samples for hematology, chemistry, coagulation and immunoassay. h ch c i hematology samples chemistry samples coagulation samples immunoassay samples h ch c Third-party analyzers i With our advanced instruments and open connectivity, you can easily grow your test menu to meet physician needs. From intake to result: Power Express reduces manual intervention, eliminates track bottlenecks and increases throughput capacity. 4

5 SCALABLE AUTOMATION ALLOWS YOU TO KEEP PACE WITH INCREASED TEST VOLUME The scalability of Power Express allows you to deploy employees and instruments where you need them most and respond to growing demand with up to 16 instruments, 4 stockyards and 4 centrifuges. Hospital-based chemistry and immunoassay systems Hospital-based core laboratory: hematology, chemistry, immunoassay and third-party instruments Reference laboratory consolidation with third-party analyzer integration Our production completion rate has improved from percentages in the 80s to above 98%.

6 POWER EXPRESS DELIVERS FAST AND CONSISTENT RESULTS THAT SHORTEN TIME TO CLINICAL DECISIONS With Power Express automation, turnaround times are fast and consistent. One tube, one process All specimens can be processed on Power Express. And since it s designed to eliminate bottlenecks, it increases throughput and reduces turnaround time. Power Express in action Power Express helped Fresno Community Regional Medical Center achieve significant improvements in turnaround time. Prior to automation, the 90th percentile turnaround time for basic metabolic panels (BMPs) was 60 minutes. With the implementation of Power Express, analysis time for BMPs went down to only 27 minutes a 55% reduction. Power Express delivers on time, consistently. 70% TAT BMP comparison: drastic variability reduction Percent of time delivered (within timeframe) 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% -10% Previous automation system: 2013 Beckman Coulter Power Express: more Time (minutes) 6
