Feb 18, 2013– Munich Germany  (Techreleased) – Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics announces the integration of Siemens Remote Services (SRS) into its existing product-level service model. Already available to Siemens Healthcare imaging diagnostics customers worldwide, SRS will now help create a more unified customer experience by maximizing uptime for Siemens’ clini-cal laboratory customers and boosting lab efficiency to meet today’s testing chal-lenges.

Part of the Siemens Customer Care program, SRS is a powerful bi-directional data connection between customers’ installed systems and the Siemens service organi-zation. It is designed to increase instrument runtime, prevent unscheduled down-time, and ultimately help laboratories maintain normal departmental workflow. Main-tenance services that formerly required onsite visits are now possible via data trans-fer, including error identification and repair. Additionally, SRS proactively monitors customers’ systems¹ – detecting issues before they interrupt operations – and can be used to initiate remote desktop sharing sessions upon request. Plus, SRS con-tinuously pushes software updates including anti-virus protection, ensuring systems are always protected.²

Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics offers SRS for the Dimension Vista® 500 and 1500 intelligent lab systems; ADVIA Centaur® CP and XP immunoassay systems; ADVIA® 1800 and 2400 clinical chemistry systems; and IMMULITE® 2000 and 2000 XPi im-munoassay systems. SRS is also available with Siemens’ Aptio™ Automation, AD-VIA LabCell, ADVIA WorkCell and VersaCell™ System. Siemens expects to offer SRS with additional laboratory diagnostics systems in the future.

¹ Event monitoring available only on select Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics instruments
² SRS software updates are pushed to Siemens’ syngo® Lab Content Manager, syngo® Lab Data Manager, and syngo® Lab Process Manager
