Hi Judy: We purchased and tested this interface, but never did implement. The Meditech interface for the Bactec 9240 interface does both download demographics and upload results. It sends the result "BACTEC_NEG" or "BACTEC_POS" to the first pending paragraph type test that is ordered on the specimen, and will not transmit to a prompt on a culture type screen. It also will not transmit to a test that already contains a default "NP" result. We ended up using a BD Epicenter for data management of the Bactec and the Phoenix, and implemented an interface for it. Unfortunately the current Meditech Epicenter interface does not upload Bactec results (only demographics); we have considered requesting a custom, but so far have not pursued this. The Bactec can't have both an Epicenter connection and a direct to Meditech interface, so we went with the Epi. I'll be happy to answer any other questions - Ruth Ready Clinical Systems Analyst Arkansas Childrens Hospital 501-364-6534, pager 501-681-2009 >>Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2007 12:44:56 -0500 >>From: "Judy Hill" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >>Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Microbiology-BACTEC Interface >>To: "Meditech List" <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > >>Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >>Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII >> >>I'm looking for anyone who has a BACTEC 9240 analyzer interfaced.
