There are more than 7.5 billion people on Earth1—and each one
is deserving of accurate diagnostic test results. Each healthcare
institution faces unique challenges to deliver results quickly and
efficiently, which is why Siemens Healthineers is focusing clinical
chemistry and laboratory medicine professionals’ attention on its Outcomes
that Matter
exhibit (Booth #51) at the 23rd IFCC-EFLM European
Congress of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine.

“Whether laboratories need the highest immunoassay testing throughput, a
true high-sensitivity troponin I assay for cardiac testing, a handheld
blood gas analyzer that can deliver results in less than one minute, one
of the largest ranges of molecular assays for infectious disease
testing, or artificial intelligence to drive adaptive, enhanced
performance, Siemens Healthineers offers proven, customized diagnostic
solutions that are transforming care delivery,” said Michael Reitermann,
Member of the Managing Board and President, Diagnostics, Siemens
Healthineers. “We invite attendees to see all these offerings firsthand
in our booth.”

Siemens Healthineers will showcase in Booth #51 new innovations for
laboratory, point-of-care and molecular testing. In addition to hands-on
product demonstrations, visitors to the Siemens Healthineers booth can
choose their own virtual reality journey through a simulated hospital
environment to visualize in vitro testing and workflow possibilities
based upon their needs.

On display will be an integrated suite of sample management
configurations that expand the power of the Atellica®
Solution, including a decapper, an enhanced vision system, a sealer, and
customized sorting options.2 A tablet-based easy-to-navigate
tile-based virtual assistant helps laboratories to improve workflow by
simplifying and organizing operator interactions in a unique software
solution. Siemens Healthineers also will demonstrate its offerings for
clinical excellence including a broad and differentiated assay menu,
diagnostics IT applications that help laboratories stay at the forefront
of industry innovations, and AI-powered predictive maintenance
capabilities for the instruments.

Attendees can see firsthand the newest innovation in blood gas for
point-of-care testing, which will be unveiled at the show. The RAPIDPoint®
500e Blood Gas System2 is designed to offer an improved user
experience and set an elevated standard in simplicity, quality, and data
security for healthcare organizations. For laboratories interested in
expanding their molecular diagnostic offerings, the new Fast Track
Diagnostics testing menu from Siemens Healthineers features syndromic
panels to improve patient care delivery, platform-agnostic kits for
increased customer flexibility, and new lyophilized assays for improved
workflow.3

In addition to its booth offerings, Siemens Healthineers is sponsoring
educational workshops on industry hot topics such as high-sensitivity
cardiac troponin I, the implementation of the Atellica Solution, the
evolving role of biomarkers in prenatal care, and the implementation of
point-of-care testing for effective patient management. To learn more
