LIS Integration Policy

Haemoscope Corporation and its parent company: Haemonetics Corporation, strive to
provide the best in blood managemenf patient care, and customer support. Haemoscope
has developed the TEG@ Analytical Sofrware's (TAS) Lab Information System (LIS)
basic interface and will provide this interface free of charge to Haemoscope customers.
In order to prevent confusion with those sites that do not have LIS capabilities, and to
ensure that it is used properly, the TAS's LIS interface is hidden, and can be unlocked
with a key received from Haemoscope.

Included in the free, basic LIS interface is the following:

LIS interface record specifications and examples as currently available
LIS interface activation code
LIS interface user documentation
Technical support related to the functioning of the TAS's LIS interface

t
This list is for informational purposes only, and is not meant to be used to develop the actual LIS
interface. Field availabilrty may be subject to TAS version and continued development.

LIS Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What computer requirements are necessary for using the LIS interface?
A: No specific computer specifications are needed to run the LIS interface. If the computer can
run the TAS and connect to the LIS server, then the LIS interface will work.
Q: What versions include the LIS interface?
A: Version 4.2,3 of the TEG@ Analytical Software and above include the LIS interface.
Q: How do I use the LIS interface?
A: The first thing to do is to contact your LIS provider about interfacing with the TAS.2 your
provider can then contact Haemoscope directly to get the LIS interface specificationso and work
through any issues that may arise. Dependrng on your LIS provider, they may already have an
interface developed for the TAS.

Q; My LIS provider has an interface to the TAS, what is the next step?
A: You will need to run the LIS activation utility and get an activation code from Haemoscop,
and then set some LIS specific settings. Detailed instructions are available &om Haemoscope
upon request, as details may change as new versions are developed.

Q: How do I send a sample record to my LIS server?

A: A couple of minutes after sample termination, it is automatically sent to the LIS server. There
is not currently an option to manually initiate a sample transfer.

Q: Is the picture ofthe tracing included in the LIS record?

A: No, only the test results and sample identifying information are included. The tracing itself is
not included in the LIS record.
Q: Is the accession number included in the LIS record?
A: No, the accession number field is not included. Howevero the accession number can be
entered into a sarnple's description field, or a patient's procedure

field.

Both ofthese fields are

transfened as part ofthe LIS record.

Q: Our LIS server was unavailable when the sample terminated, how do we get the sample record
to our seryer once it is available again?
A: If a record was not sent to the LIS server at termination for any reason (e.g. computer crash,
network trouble, the LIS was not yetaclrivate$ etc,) it cannot be sent to the LIS interface. There
is not currently an option to manually initiate a sample transfer.
Q: A sample had the wrong patient name when sent to the LIS server. We fixed the problem in
the TAS, how can we change the record on our LIS server?

A: Once the TAS sends a record, you cannot modiff that record on the server by going through
the TAS. You will have to go through your LIS interface, and change the record manually, if
your LIS server supports modifications.
Q: Is the LIS interface two way? Can the TAS retrieve orders or patient names from the LIS
server?

A: No, the TAS can only send data. Except for the acknowledgement that
the LIS server, the TAS cannot receive any data from the LIS server.

Instructions for the Laboratory Information System (LlS)

Note:You willneed an activation code from Haemoscope.

Activation
To activate the Laboratory Information System (LtS):

1.

Open the LIS activation. lf the file has not been moved, the default location is
C :\Program Files\TEGV4.

Enter activalim code

2.

Enter your activation code in the 'Enter activation code:" field. The Activate
button will be active. Once the LIS feature has been activated, the "LlS is active
until:" field will be populated with the new expiration date. (Note: The Lls
activation code is case sensitive.)

Instructions for the Laboratory Information System

Steps 3 and 4 are optional (Warning message customization).

3.

4.

You may enter a custom waming message in the "Enter custom expiration
warning message:'field. The Save button will become active.
Click the Save button and "Cunent expiration warning message:'field changes to
the text you entered.

5.

Click the Activate button to activate the utilify.

The warning message appears as the expiration date approaches.

JAS File
The socket configuration and the Ll$ format must be set in the TAS file. open the
TAS.lNl. lf the file has not been moved, the default location is C:\Program Files\TEGV4.
To set the socket configuration, enter the specific lP address after
after LfSPort=.

LIsIp= ohd the port

lf the Lls is being set up with a version 4.2.3 database, set HLTversion equalto 1
(HLTversion=l). lf the LIS was set up with a database earlier than version 4.2.3, set
HlTVersion equal to 0 (HL7Ve rsi on=0).

After making changes to the file, exit the sofrrrare, and restart the softrvare for the
changes to take effect.
