The authors evaluated the Yellow IRIS automated urinalysis instrument (International Remote Imaging Systems, Chatsworth, CA 91311) in terms of its analytic performance as well as its ease of use. The Yellow IRIS is a system using automated intelligence microscopy (AIM), coupled with a dipstick reader and specific gravity module. The instrument can handle up to 30 specimens per hour in the authors' setting as compared with 10 specimens per hour using a full manual urinalysis coupled with microscopic examination. The authors conclude that the Yellow IRIS performed better than the manual method in terms of precision, linearity, and throughput. In addition, the diagnostic yield using this system in terms of abnormal results was higher than would have been picked up by manual analysis alone.
作者评估了Yellow IRIS自动尿液分析仪器（国际远程成像系统公司，加利福尼亚州查茨沃思91311）的分析性能及其易用性。Yellow IRIS是一个使用自动智能显微镜（AIM）的系统，结合了试纸条读数器和比重模块。在作者的实验环境中，该仪器每小时可处理多达30个样本，而采用全手动尿液分析并结合显微镜检查时每小时只能处理10个样本。作者得出结论，在精密度、线性和通量方面，Yellow IRIS比手动方法表现更好。此外，使用该系统得出异常结果的诊断率高于仅通过手动分析所能发现的诊断率。
