Sysmex America, Inc., has partnered with Medicus Middleware to provide physician office laboratories (POLs) with analyzer connectivity directly to their electronic medical record (EMR) system. The Sysmex XP-300 moderately complex hematology analyzer is extremely robust and reliable – which makes it ideal for physician office laboratories.
The XP-300 is simple to operate and offers:
- A rapid and accurate analysis of a CBC, including platelet count.
- A three-part differential, including an absolute neutrophil count (ANC), which is an important parameter for your pediatricians and hematology-oncologists.
- Histograms for RBC, WBC and PLT for easy review.
The XP-300 has six quality control (QC) files. Typically, facilities will use 1, 2 & 3 for the low, normal and abnormal high. When it is time to change lots of QC, files 4, 5 & 6 provide the ability to easily perform the cross-over studies. A lot of QC is good for 100 days, which means a lot fewer changes!

The basis for your answers
“Moderately complex laboratories can enjoy the best of both worlds when you combine the accuracy and reliability of the XP-300 automated CBC (hematology) analyzer with the agility of Medicus Middleware. It connects directly to your EMR system and no extra software is needed, with simple plug-and-play to become HL7 connectivity ready.”
Questions to engage your potential customers
- “Does your practice have an EMR system, but no LIS? If yes, then…”
- “How do you currently enter the patient CBC results into the EMR? Do you manually type in the values? Or do you scan the CBC printout and attach to the patient‘s EMR?”
- “Do you see a benefit in terms of the efficiency and effectiveness of being able to connect your CBC analyzer directly to your EMR?”
