- Connects any combination of chemistry, immunoassay, hematology, urinalysis, hemostasis, and molecular systems
- Features high system capacity for superior database responsiveness
- Supports automated, partially automated, and non-automated laboratory operations
- Supports dual communication channels as well as numerous host communication protocols
- Provides enhanced security, redundancy, and failover capabilities
Enhanced Quality of Service using powerful data management tools.
ADVIA CentraLink's comprehensive management capabilities improve control over data, resulting in high-quality, reliable results. Operators can manage results and quality-control (QC) data from multiple instruments at any connected workstation. Specifically, ADVIA CentraLink provides tools for:
Quality Control Management
- Flexible application of Westgard Rules
- Review by method, instrument, lot, and species
- Robust query capability to rapidly determine specimens that must be rechecked after a failure has been detected via QC monitoring
- Automatic or rapid removal of results from statistics or calculations
- Option to add comments during QC review
- Support for multiple data types and/or use of comparators (<, >, =)
Results Management
- Receive qualitative and quantitative QC results for the same method
- Delta checking by absolute value and percentage
- Options to utilize multiple result aspects and instrument flags in autoverification rules for infectious disease testing
- Results comparison across instruments or sites*
*ADVIA CentraLink version 12.0 or higher required
Process Efficiency
- Superior database responsiveness
- Reviews by tests, instruments, or group of instruments
- Sample query by maximal, minimal, or overall sample status (pending, scheduled, review, validated, uploaded)
Locate and track specimens anywhere in the lab.
Additionally, ADVIA CentraLink's comprehensive and flexible query tools improve monitoring and management of clinical specimens from receipt to disposition, delivering:
- Improved workflow for work orders and sample retrieval
- Enhanced ability to store sample archive location uploads and upload archival and location information from ADVIA CentraLink to the LIS and cold storage (i.e. shelf, door, area, tray ID, tray position)
- Query by test and/or sample status
Connect instruments directly to LIS—and consolidate equipment.
ADVIA CentraLink expands instrument connectivity, offering cost-effective consolidation opportunities with fewer instruments directly interfaced to the LIS. ADVIA CentraLink optionally provides:
- Data storage for up to 30,000 patient samples and 30,000 QC records per connected instrument*
- Connectivity to remote labs within the same facility or satellite labs
- Multiple hardware platform options to meet the needs of the automated, high volume lab as well as the non- automated or lower volume laboratory.
*Note: ADVIA CentraLink version 13.0 required
