• Initiative to expand testing access to underserved U.S. communities

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- QuidelOrtho Corporation has launched a Certified Analyzer Program, an innovative initiative designed to expand access to high-quality diagnostic testing in rural and community hospitals across the United States. Tailored for clinics, physician office labs and small hospitals with fewer than 100 beds, the program offers certified VITROS™ analyzers that deliver proven reliability and quality results, with award-winning service, at a fraction of the cost.

"Our mission is rooted in equipping our customers so they can deliver diagnostic excellence to patients," said Audra Jones, Senior Vice President, North America, QuidelOrtho. "By repurposing and rigorously certifying high-performing analyzers, we aim to expand access to reliable diagnostic technology for healthcare facilities that play a critical role in their communities."

Each analyzer in the program undergoes a robust, multi-point certification process at QuidelOrtho's Rochester facility, including over 140 system checks, functional adjustments, hardware cleaning or replacement, and extensive performance testing. These analyzers undergo a comprehensive certification process to align with QuidelOrtho's established quality and performance criteria and include a 12-month warranty on service and support.

The program features certified VITROS XT 7600 and 5600 Integrated Systems and the VITROS 3600 Immunodiagnostic System. The VITROS platforms are designed to support community labs running general chemistries, immunoassay tests and drugs of abuse screening.

"We're proud to support healthcare providers who are the backbone of their communities, backed by our award-winning service and top-ranked customer satisfaction," added Jones. "This program isn't just about affordability; it's designed to improve accessibility and access of diagnostic solutions for healthcare providers in underserved communities."
