Laboratory Device Integration
Integration that enables the automatic and error-free transfer of results from analytical devices.
Laboratory Device Integration is the middleware that allows the automatic transfer of results from analytical devices to the system without the need for manual entry by connecting with (LIS).
Integration increases the accuracy and speed of laboratory data by managing the flow of sending requests to the device (host query) and receiving results.
Other names / abbreviations: Analyzer Interface, Device Interface.
What is it used for?
Laboratory device integration reduces the risk of errors by eliminating manual data entry, increases the speed of results, and ensures a consistent data flow between the device and LIS.
Key features
- Automatic result transfer: Automatic submission of device results to LIS.
- Bidirectional communication: Sending requests to the device and receiving results.
- Device independence: Ability to work with different brand/model devices.
- Error management: Monitoring transmission errors.
Integration and standards
Laboratory Device Integration does not operate in isolation; it typically exchanges data with the following systems and processes:
Commonly referenced standards and regulations:
- ASTM / HL7
- LIS2-A2
- KVKK
Benefits provided
- Reduction of manual entry and errors
- Increase in result speed
- Consistent data flow
Selection and evaluation criteria
Key criteria considered when evaluating a laboratory device integration:
- Supported device protocols
- Bidirectional communication
- Error monitoring
Points to consider
- The diversity of device protocols can increase integration complexity.
