🐾 Meet our newest Customer Service Intern!

Tobias, the 4-month-old Cockapoo stopped by the office today.

Known for their friendly personality and eagerness to connect with people, Cockapoos seem to be natural customer service professionals. After a quick review of our Veterinary webpage, our intern approved it with a wagging tail. 🐶

We're still working on email management, but we'd say the first week has been a success.

🩸 In case you missed it: What does the future of hematology diagnostics look like?

In this episode of the ELTE TTK Science Podcast, our R&D Director talks about the latest developments in hematology and the technologies shaping the future of blood testing.

The discussion covers the evolution of hematology diagnostics, the impact of new technologies in laboratory medicine, and the value of collaboration between the ELTE Természettudományi Kar (Faculty of Science, Eötvös Loránd University) and Norma Instruments. It also offers an insight into how new ideas make their way from research to everyday clinical practice.

The podcast is in Hungarian, but you can easily follow it by enabling YouTube subtitles and selecting Auto-translate → English.

The project 2023-1.1.1-PIACI_FÓKUSZ-2024-00040 is supported by the NKFIH (National Research, Development, and Innovation Office).

🐾 Every patient has a story to tell.

A dog that suddenly loses its appetite. A cat that's hiding more than usual. A horse that's just not performing at its best.

For veterinary teams, every clue matters. Reliable blood testing helps them understand what's happening and make informed decisions for their patients.

With 17 dedicated animal profiles, the iVet-5 supports a wide range of species and fits seamlessly into everyday veterinary practice.

Because better diagnostics help deliver better care. 💙

🇬🇧EN: Reliable hematology testing plays an important role in pediatric emergency care.

Recently, our team visited Bethesda Children’s Hospital (Bethesda Gyermekkórház) in Budapest, Hungary, to see how the Norma Icon-5 OP open vial sampling hematology analyzer supports the daily work of healthcare professionals in the Pediatric Emergency Department.

The analyzer has been helping the hospital provide timely hematology results for approximately three years, supporting clinical decision-making when rapid access to blood count data is needed. Today, it continues to provide hematology testing support outside the central laboratory’s operating hours, with 24-hour availability on three days each week.

We would like to thank the team at Bethesda Children’s Hospital for their warm welcome and for sharing their experience with the everyday clinical use of the Icon-5 OP.

🙏 We appreciate the dedication of all healthcare professionals
working to provide high-quality care for children and their families.

🇭🇺HU: A megbízható hematológiai vizsgálatok kiemelten fontosak a gyermek sürgősségi ellátásban.

Nemrég csapatunk ellátogatott a Bethesda Gyermekkórházba, ahol lehetőségünk volt megismerni, hogyan támogatja a Norma Icon-5 OP hematológiai automata a betegellátást a Gyermeksürgősségi Osztályon. A Bethesda Gyermekkórház Magyarország egyik vezető gyermek-egészségügyi intézménye, amely csecsemők, gyermekek és serdülők számára nyújt magas szintű szakellátást.

A valamivel több mint egy éve megnyílt, brit sürgősségi ellátási modellek alapján kialakított modern Gyermeksürgősségi Osztály az 1–2 hónapos csecsemőktől egészen a 18 éves fiatalokig fogadja a betegeket. A kórház körülbelül három évvel ezelőtt szerezte be az Icon-5 OP készüléket. Az analizátor kezdetben a sürgősségi ambulancián működött, majd az ambulancia Gyermeksürgősségi Osztállyá történő átalakulását követően is ott maradt, támogatva az osztály mindennapi munkáját.

Jelenleg a központi laboratórium nyitvatartási idején kívül nyújt hematológiai támogatást, heti három napon, 24 órás rendelkezésre állással. A betegforgalomtól függően az osztály naponta jellemzően 5–12 teljes vérképet végez vénás vérmintákból. A helyben elérhető hematológiai eredmények lehetővé teszik, hogy az egészségügyi szakemberek gyorsan hozzájussanak a kritikus információkhoz, amikor sürgős klinikai döntések meghozatalára van szükség.

A készülék működéséért a Labordiagnosztikai Osztály osztályvezető főorvosa, a Gyermeksürgősségi Osztály osztályvezető főorvosa és a POCT-koordinátor közösen felelnek, biztosítva a rendszer megfelelő működését és szakmai felügyeletét.

🙏Ezúton is szeretnénk megköszönni a Bethesda Gyermekkórház csapatának a szívélyes fogadtatást és azt, hogy megosztották velünk tapasztalataikat az Icon-5 OP mindennapi klinikai alkalmazásáról.

Today, we also recognize everyone working behind the scenes in laboratory medicine and everyone affected by blood cancers around the world.

Today, the XVIII Baltic Congress of Laboratory Medicine officially started in Riga and will welcome visitors until Saturday, where our local partner Mediq is presenting the Norma Icon-5 hematology analyzer and the Autoloader.

Before the exhibition opened, our teammates had the pleasure of visiting the Hungarian Embassy in Riga and meeting His Excellency Dr. György Urkuti, Ambassador of Hungary to Latvia, and Mr. Péter Soltész, Economic Attaché.

Looking forward to the next few days in Riga 🇱🇻

Some cartoon characters instantly bring back childhood memories, and “Dr. Bubó” is definitely one of them for generations of Hungarians. 🇭🇺🦉

Looks like this is turning into a week of iconic screen references at Norma Instrumentsorma Instruments… first Star Wars, now classic Hungarian cartoons. 🎬✨

Dr. Bubó was the wise owl doctor from a beloved Hungarian animated series that generations grew up watching. So when we received a testimonial from a veterinary clinic carrying this iconic name, it immediately made us smile.

🩺🐾 The real-life Dr. Bubó Veterinary Clinic is a small animal practice using the iVet-5 in their daily diagnostics. Before introducing the analyzer, one of their biggest challenges was the digitalization of results and the lack of proper support when issues occurred.

Today, the iVet-5 helps their team with fast, reliable results and a much smoother workflow thanks to easy operation and PDF-based result reporting.

“We are very satisfied with the analyzer because it is reliable, fast, and does not require significant maintenance.” - Dr. Bubó Állatorvosi Rendelő

Stories like this are exactly why we love what we do: a clinic named after one of Hungary’s most iconic cartoon veterinarians now helping real pets every day with modern veterinary diagnostics. ❤️

May the 4th be with you!⚔️

Every great story has a sequel.
Icon-3 started the journey - Icon-5 takes it further.

Same DNA. More power.
And we’re not done yet. 🦾
