WHAT IS THE MONEY RAISED GOING TO BE USED FOR??? NCHS Foundation will use the funds raised towards the purchase of a new blood analyzer. NCHS is currently utilizing an Abbott hematology analyzer that was purchased in 2002 as a refurbished analyzer. It comes as no surprise that our lab recently received notification from the manufacturer that effective December 31st, 2012 they will be discontinuing service and support, including supplies for our present analyzer. A hematology (blood) analyzer is a vital instrument used in the laboratory to perform complete blood counts (CBC). This test consists of different parameters in which the medical provider uses in diagnosis and treatment for infections, anemia and clotting disorders, just to name a few. Currently our lab performs over 2,300 hematology tests annually, which constitutes approximately 30% of our total laboratory volume. We are wanting to purchase the SYSMEX XS-1000i Hematology Analyzer. It was designed for smaller laboratories with state of the art technology. It is well known for its instrument reliability and customer support which can now be done via remote monitoring with access 24 hours a day. The cost of the analyzer would be approximately $40,000 with annual service costs at $5.600 a year. NCHS providers and staff, as well as the patients and residents we serve are very grateful for any and all support in this years campaign to help us raise the funds needed to purchase this essential piece of equipment.
