INTERFACE PROGRAM CUSTOMIZATION
Overview
The Central Data Station can output results to an external computer system
such as an LIS or HIS. The Central Data Station also provides a function that,
when enabled, will also transmit all of the Precision PCx results generated on
the i-STAT 1 Analyzer to QC Manager so they can be managed as part of the
overall Blood Glucose Testing program.
The Central Data Station needs to be customized for the interface type using
the procedures below. Tabs are presented for the options available. Each
tab represents a protocol that the Interface Component of the CDS supports.
Depending on the particular installation, one or more of these will be used.
Procedure
Exit the CDS application. Access the Run dialog box by clicking Start
Run…
Type c:\istat32\bin\interface32.exe at the Open: prompt, then
click OK. If Run… is not on the Start menu, double click the Command
Prompt shortcut. At the C:\> prompt in the window that opens, type
c:\istat32\bin\interface32.exe and press Enter. Click File Options. The
following screen will be displayed.
These tabs are used by the interface provider to configure the interface
Component of the CDS for the protocol that will be used.
Send Priority
This function will prioritize the queue of results in the CDS database being
processed by the Interface Component of the CDS program. This capability
can be used by the interface provider to prioritize handling of results from one
location over another.
