Introduction

The StaRRsed Auto Compact, a true Westergren system, is designed with experience with over 700 StaRRseds around the globe.
Basically, it is the StaRRsed Compact equipped with a completely automated rack loader, enabling sample entry in under ten seconds.

The addition of the StaRRsed Rack now provides what the busy Hematology Lab has been demanding.
Using existing blood cell counter racks, the operator time is reduced to nearly zero. Results are available in either one-hour or half-hour mode with an hourly capacity of up to 135 samples. The StaRRsed Auto Compact takes ESR sampling to new heights.

Pre-sorting Of Samples Eliminated

Using a bi-directional communication interface to a laboratory computer, the system knows on which samples to perform an ESR, and which ones to skip. That saves a tedious and time-consuming step of separating the ESR from the non-ESR blood samples.

Negligible Running Cost

As with all StaRRseds, the Auto Compact uses a minimal amount of low cost reagents.

Sample Loading In Less Than A Minute

Simply place any blood cell counter rack in the Mechatronics universal rack adapter and walk away. The system takes over from there and leaves you and your operators available for other tasks in the laboratory, saving time and money.

No Additional Disposables

The system does not use need special dedicated pre-disposable citrated tubes - it works directly with same EDTA blood samples already collected for the whole blood count. A drastic reduction in consumable costs and incineration expenses.

Graphical User Interface

Fully intuitive mouse or touch screen operation provides rapid communication with the system. Learning to operate the system is very straight forward.

Windows-based PC Operation

Many users are familiar with operating a Windows computer. Working with the StaRRsed Auto Compact is just as easy. The PC keyboard allows for any type of occasional data entry or query.

You'll wish the rest of your Lab was this easy to handle.

Retrieval Of Historic And Individual ESR Results

The PC stores all data and allows for very fast and easy retrieval of information. Repeated demands from the referring physician can thus be honored at the push of a button.

Fully Conforms To The Standard Westergren Reference Method

All StaRRseds conform to the method described by Westergren, which has since become the Globally accepted Standard Method as laid down by the ICSH. Therefore results can reliably be interpreted by the physician ordering the test.

EDTA Blood Usable Up To 24 Hours

Each StaRRsed has a citrate diluter built into the system, which enables your FBC EDTA blood samples to be used. This cuts down your running costs. It also has the benefit that EDTA blood is very stable and may be used for up to 24 hours after venepuncture rather than the recommended four hours for citrated blood. This provides your laboratory with even more logistical flexibility.

Hazy Samples Are Read And Reported

The StaRRsed Auto Compact has an optical reader which is able to detect the blood cell interface, even in hazy samples. This means that those samples are reportable to your client.

Performance Is Why You Acquire This System

The first results after introducing a rack to the system are sent to your laboratory information system in barely 30 minutes. Continuous throughput is 135 samples per hour. The Auto Compact delivers astounding results. Day in and day out.
