The cellular revolution

Cytology and blood morphology are two standard in-clinic veterinary procedures that provide important insight into patient conditions and a sound basis for developing treatment plans. However, these assessments take up valuable clinician and technician time and are open to subjective interpretation.

With these procedures in mind, the IDEXX inVue Dx™ Cellular Analyser is designed to revolutionise patient care using technology that provides automated, real-time, and accurate results—all without using slides.

The challenges of traditional in-clinic cytology

Despite their importance in daily practice, cytology and blood morphology are often time-consuming and inconsistent. Manual microscopy sample collection and slide preparation can take up to 20 minutes, and the results are open to subjective interpretation.

In fact, approximately two-thirds of automated haematology tests uncover information that would prompt blood morphology assessment.¹

However, many practitioners skip this step because it takes time to perform a comprehensive, expert evaluation of the blood film. This can lead to missed clinical insights and have a negative impact on patient outcomes.

What makes the IDEXX inVue Dx analyser revolutionary?

The IDEXX inVue Dx analyser was developed to identify important cell types based on characteristics not possible with standard methods.

Together, the innovative, load-and-go workflow and revolutionary multidimensional advanced optical system provide repeatable, actionable results to improve patient outcomes.

The IDEXX inVue Dx analyser is revolutionary because it provides the following:

• Deep learning AI models: Using photomicrography and a deep-learning AI model, cellular characteristics such as cell size and shape, nuclear size, shape and density, DNA/RNA, cytoplasm, and other internal structures are evaluated to provide accurate results in 10 minutes
• Slide-free workflow: Load-and-go technology eliminates manual steps and removes variability to provide consistent, clinically actionable results.
• Multidimensional advance optical system: The IDEXX inVue Dx analyser uses proprietary staining applications and brightfield, UV and fluorescent wavelengths that aren’t visible by the human eye on conventional microscope or scanner to illuminate unique features of cells in their natural state.
• Automated blood morphology assessment: The IDEXX inVue Dx analyser identifies quantitative morphological information, augments the WBC differential when clinically significant, quantifies immature neutrophils, and provides information on platelet adequacy, even in the presence of platelet clumps.

How the IDEXX inVue Dx analyser benefits your team

Adding the IDEXX inVue Dx analyser to your clinic’s in-house laboratory can benefit your team and your practice. New workflows simplify complex lab tasks and provide more clinical insights than ever before—and in less time. Consider the IDEXX inVue Dx analyser’s benefits:

• Save time: Its slide-free, load-and-go workflow eliminates slide setup, fixing, staining, and drying, giving back valuable time to veterinarians and technicians. Plus, you can conveniently store consumables at room temperature and in the exam rooms—exactly where you need them. Use the time savings to take a break, chart, answer questions, explain results, develop a plan, or see your next patient.
• Accurate results: Slide preparation technique and reader variation can influence slide interpretation, resulting in a subjective analysis that isn’t always reproducible between clinicians. The IDEXX inVue Dx analyser provides consistent results, which can increase practitioners’ confidence and improve patients’ outcomes.
• Easier communication: Quick results allow veterinary teams to communicate results and plan treatment during the patient visit. The veterinarian can move on to the next case without worrying about pending test results, and the client leaves the clinic with a plan for their pet’s treatment.
• Automatic capture: Results, images, and charges are automatically captured in integrated PIMS and VetConnect PLUS, allowing easy access to previous results during follow-up visits. Results integrate with IDEXX ProCyte analysers and the entire suite of IDEXX point-of-care analysers.
