It is-same limitations but still an awesome analyzer. Grifols made the ProVue. They sold it in Europe as the WADiana and sold the rights to Ortho to sell in the US. How do you like your Erytra? Are you just doing T&S, XMs and panels? We validated weak D in their IgG cards and was thinking of validating it on the analyzer.

The software is pretty much the same between the Provue and WADiana. Grifols has a 2nd panel now-not dramatically different, but different donors. Ortho red cells are scratchy in Grifols Gel, but I've heard Immucor cells work in Grifols Gel. I like the WADiana, but their Erytra is cool too.

We use Ortho IgG with our Ortho Panel. We'll probably drop the ortho panel and reagents soon and order Immucor if we need an additional panel beyond the 2 Grifols panels. Service has gotten much better, but it was a long road getting the right people to hear and recognize a few issues. I'd be surprised if anyone else experienced similar issues moving forward and our current team is really fantastic. Overall, the analyzer is really pretty slick. There is definitely room to grow with the reagents, but hopefully there will be big improvements next year too.

We've been running on our Erytra for a while. I really like it, but I'm not thrilled with the range of their reagents. Only one panel has been limiting for us. We found it easier to continue purchasing our ortho panel A and IgG cards. I'm also not thrilled with their service department, but I'm hopeful it will improve.
