Many hospitals utilize a computer-controlled information system such as the
Hospital Information System (HIS) or the Laboratory Information System (LIS).
Connecting the analyzer to such an information system via a network enables the
user to exercise greater control over the amount of patient data circulating within
the hospital.
The types of information that can be communicated via a network between the
central computer controlling the information system and the analyzer are:
 Patient results
 Quality control results
 Calibration data
 System messages
Recommendations:
1.
Use a shielded data cable with an RJ45 connector to connect the
analyzer to a network.
2.
The analyzer is first connected to the computer controlling the
information system via one of the following two interfaces:
 A serial line (RS232 Interface)
 An Ethernet interface (TCP/IP)
3.
Once the analyzer has been physically connected to the network, one
of the protocols stated below is used for communication with the
central computer.
 ASTM
 HL7
 POCT1-A
For further information refer to the Communication Protocol Specifications for
Radiometer Products (code 989-329).
Radiometer recommends that a qualified service technician carries out connection
of the analyzer to a network.
An external barcode reader can be connected and used side by side with the built-
