Getting started
Welcome!
Congratulations on your recent purchase of the SediVue Dx* Urine Sediment Analyzer. The SediVue
Dx will seamlessly integrate with your IDEXX VetLab* ecosystem along with your other IDEXX
in-house analyzers, IDEXX VetLab* Station, VetConnect* PLUS, all IDEXX practice management
software, as well as multiple other leading practice management software.
The SediVue Dx analyzer uses propriety neural network algorithms and machine-learning
capabilities to identify and classify elements within urine sediment. Using SmartService* Solutions,
the SediVue Dx leverages the collective learnings of millions of patient images to guide confident
medical decisions to bring you unparalleled accuracy and reliability. Only with IDEXX can one
SediVue Dx customer benefit from the collective learning of all. Leveraging the images and neural
network algorithms is unique to IDEXX and is critical in advancing machine-learning capabilities so
we can identify the rarest of cases, enhance our offering, and expand our test menu.
Introduction
The SediVue Dx Urine Sediment Analyzer is a semiautomated urine microscopy system that
performs a urine sediment analysis from only 165 μL (4–5 drops) of fresh, uncentrifuged urine
in approximately 3 minutes. It uses a gentle, low-speed, on-board centrifuge for 30 seconds to
preserve the integrity of the sediment and takes 70 high resolution digital images (equivalent to 45
High Power Fields (HPF) of View) for every sample run. The SediVue Dx then leverages proprietary
cutting-edge convolutional neural network technology and machine learning to identify, classify,
and prioritize clinically significant formed elements within the sediment to increase the reliability,
speed, and accuracy of detecting renal and urinary tract abnormalities. The SediVue Dx provides
reproducible and sensitive analysis of the following sediment-forming particles in native urine
samples:
Blood cells Epithelial cells Bacteria Casts Crystals
• Red blood cells
(RBCs)
• White blood
cells (WBCs)
• Squamous
• Nonsquamous
(e.g., transitional
cells, renal
tubular cells)
• Rods
• Cocci • Hyaline
• Nonhyaline
(e.g., cellular
casts, granular
casts)
• Struvite
• Calcium oxalate
dihydrate
• Unclassified
(all other
crystals)
