NEO’s dynamic scheduler provides efficient processing of multiple samples and assays, all performed simultaneously.

Realtime results can be viewed by image, interpretation, reaction strength, or score

One or more STAT samples can be selected by the operator or designated through the LIS

Intuitive User-InterfaceNEO’s user-friendly interface provides access to test ordering and prioritization, resource management, and reporting with the touch of a fingertip

Productivity

NEO offers the broadest fully automated Immunohematology test menu in the industry. This state-of-the-art instrument will optimize your lab’s workflow by fully automating more of your workload with trusted technologies that provide quality test results.

Workflow Efficiency.

Productivity

• NEO’s broad test menu allows labs to automate more of their workload and provides better cost justification for an automated platform

• Blood typing via hemagglutination allows you to utilize the same blood typing reagents as manual testing for seamless backup options

• Type and screen result in as little as 30 minutes

• Continuous processing allows throughput of several hundred tests per hour

Capture MicrostripsAntigens are pre-coated on the test wells at the time of manufacture so there are fewer reagents to manage, less pipetting, and more time savings.

Direct Hemagglutination MicrostripsMultiple configurations of ABO/Rh microstrips exist to meet each labs’ specific needs

Automated Efficiency• Automated resource management

maximizes efficiency • Ability to reschedule plates to expedite

STAT testing. Resources are reallocated to avoid reagent waste

• Bi-directional interface with host query for test requests and auto-verification for results export minimizes operator hands-on time

Reflex Testing• Automatic ordering of secondary assays

reduces operator intervention• Negative Rh D test result can be reflexed to

a Weak D test• Positive antibody screen can be reflexed to

an antibody identification panel

Speed

Your workflow is demanding. The flexibility to work the way your lab flows is the true beauty of NEO. NEO offers the advantage of linear sample and reagent racks for true continuous access. STAT requests never wait. Run any test, in any order, anytime. NEO’s Dynamic Scheduler with STAT priority will enhance your workflow to the next level of operational efficiency. Unprecedented Flexibility.

Software Controls

Quality ControlWhen patient care is on the line, every test result counts. All NEO assays have built-in process controls that ensure consistent and trustworthy test results. The fully automated system ensures sample and result integrity.

Secure by Design.

• NEO software ensures positive identification and traceability throughout the testing process

• Every NEO assay includes a comprehensive QC and process control strategy

• All process controls and maintenance activities are documented and reportable

Multi-Layered Quality ControlNEO features numerous process controls to keep your mind at ease. This includes controls for hardware functionality, software logic, reagent performance, and assay processing.

Hardware Controls• Real time barcode read provides positive

Software Controls

• Processing and post-processing time tolerances for critical test steps

• Onboard stability times monitored for specific reagents

Reagent/Process Controls

• Forward and reverse type must match for a valid ABO/Rh D test result

• Monoclonal control must be negative for a valid ABO/Rh D test result

• Sample (serum or plasma) dispense safety read to confirm color change of LISS reagent
