Configurability

The ACCELERATOR a3600 provides your laboratory with the performance necessary to ensure high quality patient care, using unsurpassed con gurability and speed.

• Predictable and consistent result turnaround times are achieved even during the busiest periods.
• All ACCELERATOR a3600 systems handle multiple tube sizes and types simultaneously so there is no need to standardized tubes.
• Sample pathway traceability is accomplished using Radio Frequency Identi cation (RFID) tagged sample carriers, which are matched to the sample barcodes.
• The throughput of each module is optimized for performance and there can be be several of each module type on a track to meet individual laboratory needs.

Input/Output Module (IOM) STAT sample prioritization with dedicated priority lanes. Ensures ef ciency with a common sample input and output area. Quick and accurate sample identi cation. Easy access to samples with exceptions or problems. Easily con gured and identi ed capped/uncapped and spun/un- spun sample lanes. Capacity of 720 samples (15 racks of 48 tubes each) plus 60 samples (5 racks of 12 tubes each) for priority and exception handling. Up to 800 tubes/hour throughput.

Rack Input Module (RIM) Additional loading capacity. Ensures maximum system capacity and throughput. Increased walk-away time. Walkaway capacity of up to 6 racks with 48 tubes each. Bulk Input Module (BIM) Saves time with quick, bulk sample loading onto the system. No need for sample racks. Ensures maximum system capacity and throughput. Walkaway capacity of up to 700 capped sample tubes.
