An erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) analyser is an electrically powered laboratory instrument designed to automatically or semi-automatically measure how quickly red blood cells settle in a tube of anticoagulated whole blood. This measurement helps clinicians assess the presence and degree of inflammation in the body, supporting the diagnosis and monitoring of conditions such as infections, autoimmune diseases, and certain cancers.
Devices in this category are regulated as in vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical instruments and are intended for use in clinical laboratory settings. They are supplied as standalone analysers that process blood samples to provide quantitative ESR results, with operation relying on electrical power and standardized sample handling procedures.
