Connect Your Diatron Pictus 700 / 500 to Any HIS or LIMS

The Diatron Pictus 700 and Pictus 500 are automated clinical chemistry analysers popular in small and mid-size labs, communicating via ASTM E1394 with host-query worklist support.

Connect your Pictus 700 or 500 to your LIS in both directions. LISBridge parses Pictus results automatically, and a dedicated Pictus order builder answers the analyser's host queries — when the Pictus scans a sample and asks what to run, LISBridge replies with the working list from your LIS in real time.

How LISBridge Connects the Diatron Pictus 700 / 500

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.

Diatron Pictus 700 / 500 — Frequently Asked Questions

What protocol does the Diatron Pictus 700/500 use?

ASTM E1394. Results are parsed via LISBridge's standard ASTM engine; orders use a dedicated Pictus builder that formats the P/O working list exactly as the Pictus LIS guide specifies.

Does LISBridge support bidirectional ordering on the Pictus?

Yes — the Pictus is one of LISBridge's 16 order-capable instruments. It works in host-query mode: the analyser sends a query for a sample ID and LISBridge answers on the same session with the pending test orders. Batch worklist download is also supported by the analyser.

What chemistry tests does LISBridge extract from the Pictus?

Every test code your Pictus reports — liver, kidney, lipid, glucose, and enzyme panels — delivered to your HIS as structured, validated results.

Are both the Pictus 700 and Pictus 500 supported?

Yes. Both models use the same communication format and are covered by the same parser and order builder in LISBridge.
