Osmo1® Single-Sample Micro-Osmometer User Guide
Send-results mode
You can configure the system to send results to your LIS
system via Automatic or Manual mode:
• Automatic sends results immediately after each test. If
the communication link becomes disconnected, the
results store as Pending LIS, indicated by a number in
the LIS indicator circle. When the link is restored, the
data is sent, and there is no indicator number.
• Manual mode accumulates test results in the Results
database until a user selects to send it to the LIS on
the Results screen.
LIS connection indicator colors
Colors in LIS symbols on the Osmo1 screen indicate the
status of the connection:
• Green shows a successful and ready LIS connection.
• Gray shows a disabled LIS connection.
• Red shows a disconnected or error condition on the
LIS connection.
