Appendix G: Computer Interface (LIS)

General Information

You can connect the DCA Vantage system to a host computer or laboratory
Information System (LIS). The DCA Vantage system supports a serial
connection or an Ethernet connection between instrument and host. The serial
interface is compatible with the EIA-232-D Specification. The Ethernet
interface is established through the instrument's RJ45 internet connection.
Messages transferred from the DCA Vantage instrument to the host include:
• HbA test result records
1c
• Microalbumin/Creatinine test result records
• Filter Test Cartridge result records
• Control Test result records
• Cartridge Lot number
• System serial number
Messages transferred from the host to the DCA Vantage system include:
• Force Control remote commands
• Remote Lockout remote commands
• List of Operators
• QC test request

Ethernet Connections Using POCT1-A

The DCA Vantage system uses the POCT1-A standard to link to laboratory
information systems. The POCT1-A standard automates transmission of
information including date and time, result, patient ID, and Operator ID, to
support a full electronic patient record. POCT1-A is the default Ethernet
setting.
