We just did the Bactec this week. We only did demographics as most hospitals do! I can check on the settings if you want.

We have decided to work on the Bactec 9240 first, which may or may not be the best choice to start with but we have done so because it is not currently interfaced and testing would not interfere as much with regular production. After wiring and setting up every thing according to the specs we could find, we initially had a "cannot open to port" message (or about average for an initial interface attempt). After rechecking everything we got a device watch message that according to Meditech was indicative of a mismatch between the instrument settings and Meditech. We adjusted some of the settings and have gone back to getting the "cannot open to port" message. Further adjustments have not enabled us to get past this point. So...could anyone who has sucessfully interfaced the Bactec 9240 to xyplex help us with what your settings are and/or provide any other pointers that might help us get this interface working? Meditech suggested that we start with an easier interface, like the Clinitek 500. We would appreciate any help on this too (JIC). Thanks in advance for your assistance. Alan T.
