Background: The benchtop ADVIA 560 AL® hematology analyzer (Siemens® Healthineers Tarrytown, NY, USA) offers a small footprint and ease of operation making it suitable for satellite laboratories and intensive care units. A verification study of this analyzer was performed.
Methods: Between- and intra-run precision, carry-over, linearity, and throughput were evaluated on the ADVIA 560 AL®. Accuracy was assessed on 94 patient samples by comparing the results obtained on the ADVIA 560 AL® to the results on the reference Sysmex XN1000® analyzer (Sysmex® Corporation, Kobe, Japan).
Results: The ADVIA 560 AL® showed acceptable imprecision on control material and minimal bias in comparison to the XN 1000® on patient samples with a throughput of 60 samples per hour. The percentage carryover was not significant and the linearity was within acceptable limits.
Conclusions: The ADVIA 560 AL® bench-top analyzer is suitable for acute care centers and satellite laboratories owing to its small footprint, ease of use, and reproducible and accurate results.
