How LISBridge Connects the Abacus 380

01

Connect your instrument

Plug in via RS-232 or point it at LISBridge over TCP/IP. Auto-detection identifies the instrument and loads the correct parser — no manual selection.

02

Parse the data

LISBridge reads the ASTM E1394 stream in real time. Every result message is decoded — field by field — into structured data.

03

Validate results

Each result is checked for completeness. Duplicates caught. Malformed messages flagged. Only clean data moves forward.

04

HIS receives clean data

Validated results reach your HIS automatically — as HL7 or direct format. Stored locally too. No manual entry required.
