IDEXX IDE 8 InVue Dx Cellular Analyser

About the IDEXX inVue Dx Cellular

Analyser

Intended use
The IDEXX inVue Dx* Cellular Analyser performs pathologist-level cellular analysis and blood morphology testing for canines and felines in just 10 minutes, in-house, without the use of slides. The analyser employs artificial intelligence (AI) to derive diagnostic information. The AI, guided by a team of IDEXX data scientists and board-certified clinical pathologists, is comprised of machine-learning models trained on image data from patient samples run on the IDEXX inVue Dx analyser. The algorithms analyse the cells in their native state and produce objective, quantitative and reproducible results with reference laboratory-level accuracy.

Analyser benefits

• Slide-free, load-and-go workflow frees nurse/technician time. Prepare the sample, add reagent and insert into the analyser; read results in 10 minutes.
• Enhance accuracy by eliminating manual slide preparation that can produce artefacts leading to misinterpretation.
• Get diagnostic results during the patient visit to support quick diagnostic decisions.
• Follow up on CBC results from your in-house haematology analyser (such as the ProCyte One* Haematology Analyser or ProCyte Dx* Haematology Analyser) with morphological analysis.

How the analyser works
The IDEXX inVue Dx Cellular Analyser uses a high-speed camera to take hundreds of pictures of cells in, around and through a sample while illuminating the sample with multiple wavelengths of fluorescent and other bright light to capture the unique elements of each cell. An algorithm trained by IDEXX pathologists analyses and interprets the images to deliver objective, quantitative and reproducible pathology results in 10 minutes for ear cytology and blood morphology samples.
The analyser connects to the IDEXX VetLab* Station through the IDEXX VetLab* router. From the IDEXX VetLab Station, you can choose patients, start sample runs, read results and run reports. If your IDEXX VetLab Station is integrated with your practice management system, analyser results are automatically returned to the patient record and all charges captured.

Analyser components

Analysing samples

Analysing ear swab samples

IMPORTANT:

• Always use fresh ear-swab samples and a fresh IDEXX inVue Dx* Ear Cytology QuickPrep Kit.
• The reagent in the reagent caps are light-sensitive. Do not remove the reagent caps from the foil packet until you are ready to prepare and run the samples. Use within 10 minutes of removing from the foil packet; do not store after opening.
• IDEXX recommends always running two samples (one from each ear) and will display a message when only one sample is detected in the cartridge. If you choose to run only one sample, discard the remaining sample tube, reagent cap and the partially used cartridge – do not save them for later use.

To analyse ear swab samples:

1. Initiate the sample run on the IDEXX VetLab* Station (for more information, see the IDEXX VetLab Station Operator’s Guide).
2. When prompted, confirm that the patient details are correct, select a reason for testing, tap inVue Dx and then select Ear Swab. Then, select the checkbox if the patient shows signs of otitis (e.g., discomfort, odour, redness or discharge).
3. Tap Run. The analyser begins its initialisation procedure and the status light on the front of the analyser blinks yellow.
4. Remove the ear cytology kit contents from the packaging and place the tubes and cartridge into the applicable indentations on the top of the analyser.
5. Prepare the sample:
   • Pull to remove the foil seal from a sample tube.
     Note: Ear cytology sample tubes intentionally have a much smaller amount of diluent than blood morphology sample tubes.
   • Insert the left swab into the tube  and swirl the swab while pushing it against the ribs inside. Squeeze the tube while swirling. Withdraw the swab, squeezing to extract the most liquid.
   • Pull to remove the foil seal from the reagent cap and push the cap (flat end down, tabbed end up) firmly onto the tube until the cap is flush with the tube top.
   • Invert the tube five times to mix.
   • Twist off the cap tab and dispense the entire tube of solution into the applicable cartridge port (left or right). Air gaps and volume differences from sample to sample are normal and acceptable.
6. Repeat step 5 for the other ear swab, using sample tube, reagent cap and cartridge port.
7. Insert the cartridge into the slot on the front of the analyser until you feel it click into place.
8. Press the Start button on the front of the analyser. The cartridge is then pulled into the analyser. Analysis takes approximately 10 minutes. When the analysis is complete, the cartridge is partially ejected outside the analyser.
9. Remove the used cartridge and discard it and the other materials per your local disposal regulations.

Analysing blood samples

IMPORTANT:

• IDEXX highly recommends pairing a haematology analysis (CBC) with IDEXX inVue Dx blood morphology for greater insight. If the CBC was run on the same sample within 8 hours of the IDEXX inVue Dx analysis, you can use the results for the patient. Otherwise, run a CBC on the same sample at the same time you run the IDEXX inVue Dx analysis.
• Always use fresh, mixed whole blood at room temperature in an EDTA tube with the IDEXX inVue Dx* Blood Morphology QuickPrep Kit. Ideally, samples should be less than 4 hours old and never more than 8 hours.
• The stains in the reagent cap are light-sensitive. Do not remove the reagent cap from the foil packet until you are ready to prepare and run the samples. Use within 10 minutes of removing from the foil packet; do not store after opening.

To analyse blood samples:

1. Initiate the sample run on the IDEXX VetLab Station (for more information, see the IDEXX VetLab Station Operator’s Guide). Note: To add IDEXX inVue Dx results to existing haematology results, tap Records Search, search for and select the desired patient record, tap Add Test and then tap Append.
2. When prompted, confirm the patient details are correct, select a reason for testing, tap inVue Dx and then select Blood. If prompted, tap Add Haematology. You can enhance your IDEXX inVue Dx results with CBC results by initiating a CBC run on an IDEXX in-house haematology analyser, selecting existing CBC results or adding CBC results manually.
3. Tap Run. The analyser begins its initialisation procedure and the status light on the front of the analyser blinks yellow.
4. Remove the blood morphology kit contents from the packaging and place the tube and cartridge into the applicable indentations on the top of the analyser.
5. Prepare the sample:
   • Pull to remove the foil seal from the sample tube.
     Note: Blood morphology sample tubes intentionally have a much larger amount of diluent than ear cytology sample tubes.
   • Invert your EDTA collection tube
     10 times, then immediately use the IDEXX inVue Dx* Pipette to collect 20 µL of the mixed EDTA sample and then dispense it into the sample tube (use the first stop to collect and press down fully to dispense). Notes:
   • It is common for there to be some blood left in the pipette tip after dispensing (it is not necessary to flush the pipette with diluent).
   • For best results, draw the sample from the middle of the collection tube.
   • Pull to remove the foil seal from the reagent cap and push the cap (flat end down, tabbed end up) firmly onto the sample tube until the cap is flush with the tube top.
   • Invert the tube five times to mix.
     IMPORTANT: Always mix the dilution, even if the collection tube was previously on a rocker.
   • Twist off the cap tab and dispense six drops of the solution into the cartridge port. The solution in the chambers may appear very pale in colour.
6. Insert the cartridge into the slot on the front of the analyser until you feel it click into place.
7. Press the Start button on the front of the analyser. The cartridge is then pulled into the analyser. Analysis takes approximately 10 minutes. When the analysis is complete, the cartridge is partially ejected outside the analyser.
