Mid-sized acute hospital with predictable response times for small clinical samples

Since 2013, Slagelse Hospital has implemented 15 Tempus600^® systems to ensure faster results with blood tests and thus faster diagnoses and treatment for patients. The development of the hospital was executed in stages and the Tempus600^® systems were implemented in line with the hospital’s development and the increased need for faster analysis results. As the hospital expanded, it became clear that using a Tempus600^® made sense because the samples are transported to the laboratory faster, rather than being collected and transported manually.

Beneficial technological development

The implementation of Tempus600^® has been a good technological development for the hospital, as it allows them to utilise the compressed air they already use for other purposes. The big benefit in the operations department is that the porters don’t have emergency runs with blood samples. Today, Tempus600^® takes care of that.

"Overall, the Tempus600^® installation has gone very well, which is impressive considering the installation of the long pipes," says Thomas Nordkvist, Operations Manager of the Operations Department at Slagelse Hospital.
