The Dendi Instrument Connector is a proprietary technology and a core component of the Dendi LIS (Laboratory Information System) designed to solve the complex challenges of laboratory instrument interfacing. The connector automates the data flow between diagnostic instruments—ranging from older chemistry and hematology analyzers to the latest NGS instruments—and the LIS, aiming for reliability and speed, often integrating 2x faster than leading interfacing vendors.
Key Capabilities & Benefits:
- Eliminates Middleware: It removes the need for expensive and unresponsive third-party middleware and on-site IT staff for interface management.
- Fast Implementation: Instrument interfaces can be connected in as fast as 24 hours, with the average LIS go-live time for instrument interfaces being 27 days, which Dendi claims is the fastest in the industry.
- Automated Workflow: It supports bi-directional interfaces and auto-verification of results, which reduces staff burden and minimizes costly manual data entry errors.
- Remote Monitoring: Dendi monitors the status of interfaces remotely, allowing for quick diagnosis and resolution of issues.
- Scalability: By providing seamless integration, it enables labs to capture more revenue by bringing send-out testing in-house and maximizing high-throughput testing volume.
While the Instrument Connector is a feature, the overall Dendi LIS platform is a secure, cloud-native system for clinical labs, offering features like a client portal, patient engagement portal, configurable user permissions, audit logs, and instrument QC using Levey Jennings & Westgard rules.
