University of Iowa Laboratory Discovers the Benefits of Truly Vendor Neutral Connectivity in the Clinical Lab
Peek What's Inside
The Problem
Many clinical labs, including the University of Iowa Laboratory, use middleware provided through a third-party supplier of in vitro diagnostic (IVD) instruments. This setup may not support connections to all the instruments in your lab.
The Solution
Direct licensing of Instrument Manager enabled the lab to receive the full benefits of the middleware’s vendor-neutral platform including connecting to instrumentation they were not previously able to connect.
Added Benefit
Since the lab began working with its own direct IM system, UI Health Care can now receive support for writing rules for any of the lab’s instruments connected to the direct IM system.
Quotes from the User
Consolidating the pathology lab’s instruments, patient data and workflows through a single Instrument Manager system improved efficiencies.
When implementing the latest middleware software updates, we’re now able to receive the newest security plus enhanced functional features and workflows.
With the Lab GPS mobile app at my fingertips, I’m able to view connection status and last transaction date/time from my pocket wherever I am.
It helped simplify the workflow for our staff by managing all of the lab’s testing from one system.
