This allows the control of multiple POC devices in the hospital from a central unit and ensures that only trained personnel can use the device. Using bi-directional interfaces, the central unit can remotely update and con- figure POC devices, and test results can automatically be downloaded into electronic patient records.’ The importance of flexible connectivity ‘When analysing the market situa- tion we found that our customers are in very different stages with their connectivity requirements; ranging from a single computer in a doc- tor’s office to full, direct integration into lab information systems (LIS) in hospitals, or web-based solutions for disease screening programmes. ‘There are numerous vendors for software solutions in health- care and each have their specific interfaces. The new generation of Hemo Control devices use a public standard communication protocol (LIS2-A2) and a bi-directional inter- face. This enables direct integra- tion of the device with third party software. ‘The new Data Management “add pack” is used to upgrade a basic Hemo Control device with data man- agement functions at a later stage. This is ideal for customers who are planning future connection of POC devices to electronic patient records or LIS, but have not yet decided, or who would like to split the costs of investment. It helps them to keep their options open for upcoming connectivity requirements. In some countries electronic patient data management will become a general requirement in 2017.’ Data management functionality ‘Hemo Control devices with data management functionality can be configured to capture all informa- tion around the analytical result by using simple barcode scans. In the most basic case, this would be a direct link of the test result with the patient ID, which is a mandatory requirement at many sites now. ‘Other available functions include operator identification to ensure that only trained personnel are using the device and tracking of the materials used to perform a test. A fixed QC scheme can be pro- grammed into the device to request and validate a control measurement at certain points of time. Modern data management of POC devices, such as Hemo Control, increases patient safety and simplifies the documentation process.’ Further details: www.ekfdiagnostics.com e proofing POC oglobin analysisme in Europe, its next generation Hemo at EuroMedLab 2015.
