Features:

Software

Touch Screen
The Envoy® 500 has a built-in LCD touch screen and, is driven by the Windows® 2000 operating system. This provides greater ease of use and space savings by eliminating a bulky external monitor and CPU.

Quality Control
Quality Control results are stored in memory and easily displayed on the screen. QC results are validated using Westgard rules and displayed with a Levey-Jenning Plot.

Pre-Programmed Parameters
The Envoy® Reagent application parameters are pre-loaded into the software, saving you time and eliminating the possibility of data entry mistakes.

Reagent Handling

Large Capacity
The Envoy® 500 has 40 reagents positions, providing longer walk-away operation.

Refrigerated Reagent Tray
Onboard refrigeration and storage assures reagent stability, which increases reliability of results, while lowering laboratory costs.

Continuous Inventory Monitoring
Continuous inventory monitoring enables the operator to know the number of tests remaining for each reagent, minimizing waste.

Positive Reagent Identification
The reagent chamber contains an infared barcode scanner capable of scanning Envoy barcoded reagents, automatically recognizing reagent position, calibration and lot expiration intervals.
Sample Handling

Sample Handling

Sample Wheel
The Envoy® 500 sample wheel has 52 positions available for patient samples and 26 for calibrators and controls providing your laboratory high throughput capability. Primary tubes or sample cups can be used, providing the testing flexibility you need.

Liquid Sensor Detection
Liquid sensor detection prevents reporting of invalid results from an insufficient sample. This ensures accurate results and proper treatment decisions.

Positive Sample Identification
The sample chamber contains an infared barcode scanner, capable of scanning your patient barcodes eliminating the need to manually enter patient information and reducing the risk of sample errors that can cost you time and money.

Cuvette assembly

Reusable Glass Cuvettes
The Envoy® 500 contains 34 reusable glass cuvettes which are automatically washed onboard, creating significant cost savings by eliminating the need for expensive disposables cuvettes. The reusable glass cuvettes also provide your lab longer walk-away time than a system using disposable cuvettes, which requires you to return to the instrument to reload cuvettes on a regular basis.

Integrated Dry ISE

The Envoy® 500 utilizes a proven, dry, solid-state ISE (Ion Selective Electrode) for Na+, K+, Cl- and CO2, providing a complete test panel without adding an enzymatic procedure or using a traditional ‘wet’ electrode, this significantly reduces costs and maintenance time, while increasing reliability of results
