HORIBA obtains CE IVDR certification for Yumizen H500 CRP benchtop hematology analyzer

HORIBA has obtained CE IVDR certification for its new Yumizen H500 CRP benchtop hematology analyzer which delivers a simultaneous 5-part extended differential (DIFF) and rapid C-Reactive Protein (CRP) whole blood measurement.

Based on its Yumizen H500 compact analyzer, the new instrument is designed for small laboratories and ideal for use in a variety of hospital testing settings for rapid and highly accurate detection of infection and inflammation.

The Yumizen H500 CRP’s fast and combined delivery of a complete blood count (CBC), 5-part leukocyte DIFF with CRP from just one single tube (27 µL of venous or capillary blood) significantly decreases turnaround times and costs. Its capillary sampling capabilities are also ideal for pediatric patients.

Providing detailed insights into three immature white blood cell (WBC) populations, the Yumizen H500 CRP offers 38 parameters, including: IML, IMM, IMG, ALY, CRP, plus infectious screening flag options for malaria and dengue.

This fast access, from a single tube of whole blood, to quantitative, in-depth leukocyte information alongside CRP values ensures better clinical assessment of complex cases in infectiology, hematology, immunology and oncology, enabling efficient and simple patient triage. It can also help to reduce unnecessary antimicrobial treatment, treatment duration, as well as length of hospital stays and costs.

In addition to detecting inflammatory and infectious diseases using combined 5-part DIFF and CRP testing, HORIBA’s new benchtop analyzer offers a complete red blood cell count, with hemoglobin and platelet analysis, to support rapid diagnosis of anemia and hematological disorders. While its quantitative WBC analysis, including immature forms, provides neutrophil and eosinophil counts for monitoring drug effects and asthma.

Facilitating its fast and user-friendly operation, the Yumizen H500 CRP offers a simplified and intuitive touchscreen interface with color-coded menu and a robust, design. Bidirectional connectivity (ASTM and HL7) means that comprehensive quality control (QC) management is readily accessible, with internal QC indicators, overlapping QC and repeatability testing, as well as HORIBA’s Yumicare remote assistance service – all ensuring optimal and efficient analyzer operation.
