Business Introduction

Diagnostics Business

Since its founding, Sysmex has focused on in vitro diagnostics (IVD) that involve the collection and examination of blood, urine, and other samples, as its core business.
IVD is utilized in various ways, including medical checkups to help prevent disease, diseases diagnosis, determination of treatment methods, measurement of drug administration results, prediction of aggravation, and post-treatment monitoring.
Accurate test results are essential because it allows medical professionals to assess a patient’s state of health accurately and promptly, and to determine optimal treatment methods.
In the IVD business domain, Sysmex provides high-quality products and services to medical institutions, clinical laboratories, animal hospitals, and research institutes.

Medical Robotics Business

In recent years, it has become common to perform minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery to reduce the physical burden on patients. However, this surgery requires a high degree of technical skill, and surgical support robots that complement these skills are attracting attention from medical workers.
Currently, insurance coverage of surgical procedures using these robots has been extended to include urology, gastroenterology, and gynecology, and the number of surgeries performed using surgical support robots is gradually increasing.
In addition, from the viewpoint of improving access to medical care, such robots are being considered for use with remote medicine. It may not be long before surgeries can be performed with doctors and patients in different locations.
Under these circumstances, Medicaroid Corporation, a joint venture between Sysmex and Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd., developed the Japan-made robotic-assisted surgery system. As the global general distributor for this product, Sysmex began its launch in Japan in 2020.
