POC CBC Analyzers

Researching CBC analyzers for our Pediatrics Unit. They would have a very small volume of samples, and are looking for a 5 part diff. I'm familiar with Sysmex pocH-100i, looking to gather info on other companies/analyzers. What do you use and how do you like it? Does anyone know of the Horiba Pentra MS?

We used the Sysmex XS-1000's in our ED's at my previous employer and I liked them better than the pocHi. They are a little complex for a POC setting, but designed for single runs and low volume.
Just heard about this this week:

One of my clinics has a Sysmex XP300, it is easy to use and maintenance is simple. Main operators are non-lab staff. Looked at the pocH-100i, did not like that if it broke I have to re-validate another instrument.
This is great info to have as we are having a discussion on providing a hemostasis lab in the OR setting with TEG, Verify now and possibly some hematology instrument to do at least platelets and H&H. the pocH-100i was mentioned due to its small footprint but other options are welcomed.
Thank you all for your feedback. I worked with the pochi at my last place of employment and was not impressed. There was more troubleshooting maintenance than anticipated and issues with correlating to the main Sysmex (ironically) analyzer in the lab. Service was also difficult, many phone calls and if all else failed, we had to box it up and send it from CO to NE. Typically a week or two TAT. I've just heard through the grapevine that now you have to send it to Canada??? Not sure of the validity, but something to consider.
Does anyone have experience with Beckman's DxH500?
I am also looking into the DxH500.
I heard through the grapevine: DXH might not be released until end of 2018. They are now just starting to produce the US model and are awaiting a final decision from the FDA early 2018.
Not sure if this is still the case, since you are able to request a quote for it on their website...
Does anyone recommend a small version of CBC analyzer that includes a retic? Our powers that be want a hemostasis lab connected to our OR and blood bank will have a CBC analyzer to assist with that. They are considering the Sysmex pocH100-i but now want something that does retics too. Ivy
Hello,
I just joined this group and happened to read through some of the discussion topics. I am a vendor. I am with Clinical Diagnostic Solutions. We have been the number one placed 3 part diff CBC instrument in the US for the last couple years. I believe we have the most market share now for 3 part diff analyzers with over 2,200 installed in the US alone.
Our analyzer is the Medonic CBC analyzer. We offer open vial, cap piercer, and autoloader. It is very low maintenance, easy to use, and the most reliable out there with a mean time between failure of 15 months. With each of our analyzers, we have a micro-pipette adapter allowing the user to do a sample with only 20 microliters of blood with a micropipette off of a finger stick. No other company offers this. If interested, feel free to contact me anytime, I cover the Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, and Great Lakes region. I have other colleagues I can put you in touch with if anyone would ever like a demonstration on our Medonic analyzer.
