Machine Status Indication in Automated Clinical Laboratories
Application: Alert clinicians of lab procedure status
Challenge: Numerous laboratory conditions and statuses within one machine
Solution: K50 Pro Series indicators and TL50 tower light
Benefits: Sealed and sturdy housing with long-lasting, clear LED lighting
Any delays during sample processing reduces the overall efficiency of the clinical laboratory and in a busy setting such as a lab, machine processes could be overlooked. Adding exterior indication lights onto laboratory automation equipment is an easy way to provide clear machine status alerts for the clinician so the task can be completed quickly.
Bright, Bold Indication Withstands Washdowns
Installing LED indicator lights, such as the K50 Pro indicator or TL50 tower light, provide bright, easy-to-see indication of status, even in ambient conditions. Different colored lights represent different machine statuses, such as test completion or if samples have exceeded the time limits and need to be removed.
Both the K50 Pro indicators and TL50 tower lights are rugged and cost-effective ways to indicate machine status. The K50 Pro light is made of IP67/IP69K polycarbonate housing that withstands exposure to cleaning chemicals. They can even be purchased with an audible alarm to provide another clear notification of status.
LED lighting provides very bright illumination so that operators can easily see the changes in status and complete the necessary call to action. These lights have simple wiring for quick installation as well as many brackets and cables making them incredibly versatile and adaptable to the needs of the application.
