iQM®3
New iQM3, now with hemolysis detection, provides automated quality assurance with every sample, continuously and in real-time. Unlike traditional QC, error detection is performed in seconds vs hours. Errors are automatically corrected and documented for a complete picture of quality. Integrated on the new GEM Premier 7000 system, iQM3 assures quality before, during and after sample analysis, for improved patient care and efficiency.

Ensures the integrity of every sample
Now with hemolysis detection, iQM3 ensures sample quality across the most common preanalytical errors (e.g., hemolysis, clots, bubbles).
- Hemolysis detection at the POCDetects hemolysis in 45 seconds1 helping inform appropriate patient management decisions.
- Automatic real-time error detectionPerforms continuous checks—before, during and after every sample, using five types of continuous quality checks, performed throughout GEM PAK use-life. New IntraSpectTM technology offers quality checks during every sample analysis.
- Immediate, automatic correction and documentationInitiates intelligent corrective actions, if any sensor, CO-Ox, system stability or sample error, is detected, specific to source of error. Documents all actions in real-time; no manual documentation required, minimizing regulatory requirement efforts.

How is whole blood hemolysis detection possible?
GEM Premier 7000 with iQM3 utilizes patented technology for hemolysis detection, similar to traditional laboratory analyzers. Based on a photometric measurement of whole blood, the hemolysis module includes:
- Acoustofluidic flow cell for plasma separation and hemolysis detection
- Optical detector and LED light source to illuminate the optical flow cell for absorbance calculation at each wavelength
If detected, hemolysis is flagged on the K⁺ result
When levels exceed institution-defined thresholds, hemolysis is flagged on the K+ result, which appears on screen, on the printout and in GEMweb® Plus 500 Custom Connectivity.
