The iMOST platform is manufactured in Shanghai, China, within ISO 13485–certified facilities. These sites have successfully undergone rigorous audits by global IVD partners.
No. Cloud connectivity is optional. All analysis is performed locally on the device.
Yes. iMOST supports HL7 for direct LIS/HIS integration.
Participation in external QC programs needs to be evaluated. Please note that traditional QC materials may not always be compatible with the system due to unique differences in measurement principles.
The response protocol depends on the specific error type. While troubleshooting can often be conducted remotely, certain situations may necessitate a service or a formal device inspection.
No. Devices are factory-calibrated, and no routine user calibration is required.
iMOST utilizes a multi-layered QC approach:
- Automatic Checks: Electrical, optical, and system-level self-checks
- Solid QC Card: A physical card for pass/fail verification
- Liquid QC: Optional support for third-party liquid materials
Subject to development progress, regulatory approvals, and market priorities, the following expansions are currently planned for the iMOST platform:
- Urine Analysis: Sediment cell analysis and ACR (Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio)
- Blood Analysis: CRP (via docking station), CD-4 test
- Chemistry panels: kidney, liver, lipid),
- Immunoassay and molecular tests
The analyzer is deemed out of warranty under the following conditions:
- Expiration: The standard warranty period has concluded
- Usage Limits: The device has exceeded the specified warranty test-volume limit as defined in commercial terms
- Misuse: Damage or malfunction occurs due to unauthorized modification, improper handling, misuse, or operation outside of specified environmental conditions
After the warranty period ends, Essenlix provides paid technical support, including spare parts and repair or replacement options. Specific duration and coverage details are governed by your applicable commercial agreement and warranty policy.

N/A in certain parameter in “Results”
Possible Cause:
Certain parameters are rejected due to improper sample, improper card, or defects on the card.
Action Required:
Use a new Q-Card, repeat the measurement.
Abnormal noise from inside the device
Possible Cause:
Foreign matter is present inside the device.
Action Required:
Please turn off the power and unplug the device. Check the Q-Card compartment and heat dissipation holes, then remove any foreign matter.
N/A in certain parameter in “Results” again
Possible Cause:
Improper sample for iMOST.
Action Required:
Sample this parameter is improper to be tested in iMOST system.
Warning: Not enough blood
Possible Cause:
Insufficient blood sample in the Q-Card.
Action:
Ensure that an adequate blood sample is placed in the Q-Card.
Warning: Not fully insert Q-Card
Possible Cause:
The Q-Card is not fully inserted into the slot.
Action:
Ensure that the Q-Card is fully inserted until a physical stop is reached.
Warning: wrong Q-Cards
Possible Cause:
No Q-Card inserted, incorrect Q-Card inserted, or Q-Card inserted incorrectly.
Action:
Ensure the correct Q-Card is properly inserted.
