True sample-to-answer workflow

  • Bi-directional LIS to automate and accelerate order entry and results reporting
  • Random and continuous access and a modular, scalable design to
    ensure capacity that meets peak season demand
  • Less than 1 minute hands-on time 
  • Remote alerts to notify you when test results are available
  • Intuitive user interface with guided workflows to enable operation on every shift
  • Remote service capability to minimize system downtime and ensure patients and physicians have access to rapid test results

 

Order-to-report is what matters most:

 

The cobas eplex system is designed for order-to-report with a lean workflow by eliminating manual steps and staging of samples that often delay and complicate efficient test processing and results reporting.

Designed for the patient, optimized for the lab

While many systems claim sample-to-answer capabilities, only the cobas eplex system integrates the entire process from order-to-report to better realize the patient and laboratory benefits of rapid, multiplex molecular diagnostics. 

The cobas eplex system offers many unique solutions that were thoughtfully engineered to address the biggest challenges facing you in the clinical laboratory and to support hospital systems in delivering patient centered, value-based care.

Designed for the patient: reduce avoidable medical errors

Preventable medical errors are now the third leading cause of death in the United States at more than 250,000 per year.1 Automating information transfer has been shown to be effective in reducing many common errors, including patient identity checking and order transcription.2

The cobas eplex system is uniquely designed with patient safety features in mind so that labs and physicians can have the confidence that they have the right patient, with the right test, and the right result, every time.

  • Reduce the chance of pre-analytical errors with < than 1 minute hands-on time and guided workflows

  • Transcription errors can be eliminated in both order entry and result reporting with bi-directional LIS

Optimized for the lab: maximize lab efficiency by reducing administrative overhead

Monitoring and reporting quality control testing is both a requirement and a best practice to ensure accuracy of patient results and compliance with lab standards. With on-board QC tracking capabilities and safeguards, you can not only run controls when required, you can also easily track and report compliance.

In addition to automated QC tracking, the cobas eplex system provides the following compliance and data management tools:

  • Integrated data analytics to easily monitor lab performance

  • On-demand epidemiology reports for exprt and simplified analysis

  • Fully configurable, auto-release of test results

All of these unique capabilities of the cobas eplex system allow you to reduce the time spent on routine administrative tasks and focus your limited resources on high-value activities that impact patient care and the bottom line.
