Reduce the burden on healthcare professionals
To significantly increase the number of PCR tests
We have newly installed an inspection system using a robot.
We have started a demonstration experiment to confirm the accuracy of the inspection.
Developed by Kawasaki Heavy Industries:
This PCR test system was developed by Kawasaki Heavy Industries.
Located on the grounds of Fujita Medical University,
It was installed in a mobile container about 12 meters long.
New system:
Simply place the sample collected from the patient in the receiving port and the robot will automatically perform all the analysis.
You can see the result in 80 minutes, which is half of the previous one.
This means that 2500 inspections can be performed a day.
