EPx 자동생화학분석기와 컴퓨터간의 양방향 통신 시스템 구축

Abstract

It has been understand that a laboratory information system(LIS) plays an important role in a hospital information system(HIS). However, few HIS has been equipped with a fully automated LIS. This is partly because, in order to achieve a fully automated LIS, there are many testing equipment has its own communication protocol. In this paper, a bi-directional communication system between an ABBOTT SPECTRUM EPx auto-chemical analyzer and a PC is constructed. With the communication system, it is possible that a PC controls an EPx's operations and that the PC receives test results form the EPx automatically. RS-232C serial ports are used in order to make bi-directional communication possible between them.
