OVERVIEW
|
What it does
|
- serves as a Universal Interface
Engine for the clinical / hospital
laboratory
- allows simultaneous data acquisition and
processing from multiple analyzers
- controls the real-time communications
between a clinical analyzer and the host
information system
- serves as a powerful stand-alone data
management system
can also be interfaced with the client's host
computer system and act as a Gateway link
between the clinical analyzer and the host
information system
|
Features
|
- single instrument server PC can interface
with up to 16 different clinical analyzers
- scaleable
- fault tolerance, database integrity
- on-line, "hot-swap" capability
- bi-directional interface capability
- test selection download for bi-directional
instruments
- test selection re-download capability
- instrument repeat-handling
- Full-screen, windows-based multi-patient
results review
- instrument QC acquisition / evaluation
- connectivity to host PC and / or
mainframe-based databases
- networked, client/server solution
- built-in diagnostics
- speed and simplicity for system programmers

BENEFITS
|
Reduced Costs
|
- single price per instrument type,
regardless of how many units of that instrument
type the client is going to interface
- no additional hardware costs when adding new
analyzers
- no additional software costs when adding
additional analyzers of the same type
- built-in communication software for
connectivity to the client's host computer
system
- eliminates multiple, costly,
instrument-specific interface hardware platforms
|
Increased Productivity
|
- single Instrument server acquires data
electronically from several instruments
simultaneously without user intervention.
- critical patient data is made available more
rapidly with no transcription errors
|
100% Accuracy
|
- automated data collection reduces clerical
time needed for reporting results and eliminates
transcription errors.
|
0% Data Loss
|
- provides virtually unlimited non-volatile
buffer capacity
- data acquisition from instruments continue
without interruption during periods of host
computer downtime
|
Client/Server Solution
|
- designed as a high-performance,
enterprise-class, transaction processing
Client/Server application
|
Faster Interface Implementation
|
- Direct, real-time communications with a wide
range of popular clinical analyzers can be
established quickly, and easily, regardless of
data format or communication protocol
- eliminates need for costly, time-consuming
interface programming by in-house staff
