Manual microscopic review interrupts laboratory workflow and can increase sample testing by as much as 6x.2 The DxU Iris Workcell streamlines urinalysis workflow with a significantly lower manual microscopic review rate. This is achieved with proprietary Digital Flow Morphology technology with APR Software which delivers standardized results using artificial intelligence to recognize particles, reducing total sample processing time compared to manual microscopy.3
Robust APR Software evaluates particles by size, shape, contrast and texture. It auto-classifies 12 urine sediment particles and sub-classifies 27 particles, resulting in high level of confidence by delivering accurate identification of particles and achieving shortened turnaround time.
How can urinalysis aid in overall patient health? In this MLO continuing education article by Dr. Paul Morris read about the renal system and chronic kidney disease—and how automated urinalysis can help identify different types of urinary casts important to disease.

Learn indications of urine sediment biomarkers and how particle optimization identification on DxU Iris impacts diagnoses and patient outcomes.
Watch nowAutomating most urine sediment reviews allows laboratory professionals to walk away from the urine analyzer so they can focus on more critical areas of the laboratory. Edit-Free Release (EFR) technology automatically sends results to the LIS based on user-defined parameters, reducing time-consuming steps and increasing lab efficiency. EFR works together with APR Software and Particle Verification Ranges (PVRs) to enhance auto-release options.
iWARE Integrated Urinalysis Software solution, standard on the analyzer, provides onboard validation and result verification into a single step without the need for middleware. The software helps laboratories become more efficient by reducing time-consuming steps.
