Fusion Hematology Suite

The Fusion Hematology Suite by Techcyte is an advanced AI-powered digital solution designed to streamline and enhance the process of blood cell differentials in hematology labs. It leverages deep learning algorithms to assist medical technologists in efficiently analyzing blood smear slides, reducing human error, and improving diagnostic accuracy.

Features

• AI-Assisted Screening: Automatically pre-classifies white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets using deep machine learning.
• Web-Based Platform: Accessible from any web-enabled device, allowing remote review and collaboration.
• LIS Integration: Seamless integration with Laboratory Information Systems for efficient data flow.
• Scanner Compatibility: Accepts high-quality 40x images from a wide range of compatible whole slide scanners.
• User-Customizable Thresholds: Allows customization for cell size thresholds (e.g., microcytes, macrocytes).
• Rapid Case Availability: Scanned slides are ready for review within approximately 7 minutes.
• Consistent AI Performance: Deterministic algorithm ensures repeatable and reliable classifications.
• Ergonomic Workflow: Designed to reduce eye strain and fatigue by replacing microscope work with monitor-based review.

Capabilities

• Automated Blood Cell Differential: Identifies and classifies diagnostically significant objects such as:
  • Microcytes
  • Macrocytes
  • Schistocytes (bite, helmet, horn, triangular, small fragments)
  • Aggregated platelets
• Pre-Classification of Cells: AI proposes images grouped by class and sorted by confidence for technologist validation.
• Slide Preparation Workflow:
  • CDC-compliant blood smear preparation
  • Romanowsky-type staining (e.g., Wright Giemsa)
  • Coverslipping and scanning
  • Automatic upload to Techcyte platform
• Technologist Review Tools:
  • Object confirmation
  • Prevalence estimation
  • Annotation and secondary consult requests

Benefits

• Improved Accuracy: Reduces human error and bias through consistent AI analysis.
• Time Efficiency: Speeds up triage and reduces technologist read time.
• Fatigue Reduction: Minimizes physical strain and distractions associated with manual microscopy.
• Scalability: Supports high-volume labs with reliable and fast image processing.
• Training Support: Enhances onboarding and retention by simplifying complex tasks.
• Cost Savings: Reduces operational overhead by optimizing workflow and minimizing repeat tests.
