Basically follow the procedure you used to setup the Celldyne.
If the test profile for the new instrument is the same as the old then
you can use the existing file #60 tests. You may need to add/remove
tests from any panel test that is used as an orderable test.
Create a new entry in the auto instrument file #62.4 for the new
instrument and configure it appropriately with the test characteristics
for the new instrument - result tests the instrument transmits and test
codes the instrument sends (UI Test Code). You can use your existing
entry for the Celldyne as a template.
You can use the existing load/list file (#62.8). Just adjust for any new
tests that the new instrument supports which the old instrument did not.
With the release of patch LR*5.2*286 you can use the same tests (file
#60) and datanames (file #63) for the results. Just change the
units/normals if any for the new instrument. LR*5.2*286 retrieves the
units/normals stored with the results from file #63 instead of using the
values from file #60 when reporting/displaying test results. When the
results are verified the units/normals specified in file #60 for the
test/specimen are copied and stored with the results. The one "gotcha"
here is if you are using a file #63 data name that have results for
specimens that are several years old and predate the storing of
units/normals. When old results are accessed which do not have the
units/normals stored with the results, the software retrieves the
current units normals from file#60 for the related test.
This assumes your running a currently patch VistA system, i..e your
current on the released Laboratory patches and have not implemented
local changes (Class III) to any of the lab verifying software.
You may want to review the documentation for the Lab UI patch (LA*5.2*27).

Hi
Right now our Celldyne is interfaced to a Data Innovations box. We
are working on getting a driver from them. We are expecting to modify
the WORKLIST file.
Thanks, Steve

RE: [Hardhats-members] Lab Instruments
Hi there,
How are you interfaced now? Dawning, Data Innovations, local
direct connect interface, LSI and Lab Job??? Depending on this
answer, you may have to make modifications to AUTO INSTRUMENT file and
the LOAD/WORK LIST files etc.

We are changing hematology instruments from Celldyne to a Bayer Advia
120 and getting ready to redefine our hematology tests. Can anyone
point us to a procedure? Do we need to redefine the corresponding
entries in the Lab Data file? Any other potential "gotchas" we should
look out for?
Thanks
