Anyone using this analyzer or even know of a hospital using it we might get in touch with? We were able to see somewhat of a demo today at a neighboring hospital but the vendor did not even run live samples.

Try contacting Carter Blood Care.  I think they were a beta site in the US.

Bit late in the game, but we use BioRad IH1000 so if any advice needed, I can try and help

Teristella,

  You mentioned that you visited another hospital that was using the BioRad IH 1000.  May I ask you what hospital this was.  We just purchased 2 and have some validation questions.

We were using IH 1000 in 2015, but there were too many problems in their software, due to which it would discard lot of cards. Hence we returned it. Maybe they have improved the software now.

Also, I've heard they have another smaller version IH 500 released a year or so ago.
