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 can be evaluated using up to six Westgard rules and displayed with either Levey-Jennings Graphs or Juden Plots.
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.
Large Capacity
The Envoy 500 holds up to 40 individual Envoy reagents (mono or dual), providing a 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 infrared
barcode scanner capable of scanning Envoy
bar coded reagents, automatically recognizing reagent position and lot expiration intervals.
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 infrared
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.
Dry Electrodes
The Envoy 500 utilizes a proven, dry,
solid-state ISE (Ion Selective Electrode)
that doesn’t need to be kept wet, reducing
reagent consumption.
Four Parameters
The ISE system has four electrodes, 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.
Glass Cuvettes
The Envoy 500 contains 34 reusable glass
cuvettes that are automatically washed
on board, which eliminates the cost of
expensive disposable cuvettes.
Increased Walk-away Time
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.
