HL7 Sample Data

LabComm captures and stores data from analysers in two formats HL7 and  in an SQL database.

Data is available either via the Postgresql SQL database, in the HL7 format, or both formats. HL7 data can by supplied as files or TCP/IP sockets.

Examples of HL7 data (in file format) are shown in the pages below. Turn over the pages for examples of different analysers.

IL Gem

Access2 600

There are two example files here. In the first example the analyser will send a numeric value (6.13)

In the second example it will send a numerical value (0.09) as well as a Character value (Non - Reactive)

Many analysers do this and it allows the lab to choose the cut-off values, creating a category between Positive and Negative, often called  "Indeterminate". Samples with this intermediate status are usually repeated.

VetScan Veterinary Haematology analyser

This Veterinary haematology analyser analyser will send charts for values where there is a distribution.

LabComm allows the user to selectively choose which parameters to select.

In this case we see RBC, WBC, EOS and Platelets values.

Horiba ES60 Haematology Analyser

This analyser will send charts and graphs and will send two test codes.

One of the test codes is its own format and the other is the Loinc code.

"RBC" is the internal code for Red Blood Cells. "^RBC"

789-9 is the Red Blood Cells Loinc code
