Product description

Lite DM (Lite Data Manager) Software Version(s): Versions 2.0.0.19 and lower Product Model #: D00A00224D The Lite DM (Lite Data Manager) is a software application developed by HORIBA Medical intended to receive, store, and manage Startup, Patient, and Quality Control (QC) results from an ABX Micros 60 Hematology Analyzer or ABX Micros CRP 200 Hematology Analyzer. Only one instrument connection is allowed per each Lite DM workstation. The Lite DM application runs on a PC within a Windows Operating System platform. Data transmitted from the instrument to the Lite DM workstation is a Serial RS-232 unidirectional ABX Format communication. The Lite DM can act as a standalone data manager for data received from the instrument, or allow transmission of this data to a Host (LIS Laboratory Information System or EMR Electronic Medical Record system). Following the completion of each blood sample analysis performed on the connected HORIBA Medical hematology analyzer, results are then communicated (uni-directional) to the Lite DM workstation. Results received will display to the user in a specific color coding format indicating any normal or panic reference range violations. Results are then rejected or accepted by the user for final reporting - formatted to guidelines stipulated by CLIA. At no time are any results interpreted; only reported for review and appropriate action.
