Lab analyser interfacing

Results from your analyser straight onto the PingMeDoc™ result screen, over HL7 or ASTM. Honest status first: this is a pilot, with one machine class proven in a live lab so far.

Where we stand

The receiving, matching and instrument setup are built and proven against a real haematology analyser in a working lab. The in-lab program is still being hardened, which is why we call it a pilot and not a finished feature.

If a machine connection decides whether you buy, send us the make and model and we will say where it stands before you pay.

How it works

A small program on a lab computer
Analysers talk over your lab's own network or a serial cable. A cloud service cannot reach them directly, so a small always-on program on a computer in the lab listens and passes results up.
HL7 or ASTM
Most analysers speak one of the two, and many speak both. Which one is a setting on the machine. Results arrive matched to the sample barcode.
Values land on the result screen
The technician sees the machine's values against the right patient and test, checks them, and approves as usual. Nothing is released without a person.
Typing stays available
If the connection drops, or a machine is not connected, results are typed in the same screen. The lab never stops.

Questions labs ask

What is the difference between HL7 and ASTM?
Both are ways an analyser sends results. ASTM (E1381 and E1394) is older and common on serial-cable machines. HL7 v2 is newer and common on networked machines. Many analysers support both; it is a setting on the machine.
Can cloud lab software connect to my analyser directly?
No. Analysers sit behind your lab's router, where a cloud service cannot reach them. Every real cloud interface needs a small program running on a computer inside the lab. Ask any vendor where that program runs.
Which machines can you connect today?
One machine class is proven in a live lab. Others need a short test with a real transmission from your machine. Send us the make and model on WhatsApp and we will tell you plainly before you pay anything.
What does interfacing cost?
₹499 a month per machine, plus a one-time ₹14,999 wiring charge for a model we have already connected. It is optional; every plan works with typed-in results.
Do I need interfacing to start?
No. Most small labs start by typing results, which the software makes quick with ranges and flags. Add a machine connection later if the volume justifies it.
