How LISBridge Connects the Dimension RxL

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.

Dimension RxL — Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Dimension RxL use standard ASTM E1394?

The Dimension RxL uses a proprietary extension of ASTM E1394 with Siemens-specific record formatting. LISBridge includes a dedicated Dimension parser that handles this dialect correctly.

What test panels does LISBridge extract from the Dimension RxL?

All test codes configured on the Dimension RxL are extracted — routine chemistry (BMP, CMP, LFT, lipid panel), immunoassay (troponin, BNP, thyroid, drug levels), and any custom panels.

Can LISBridge run the Dimension RxL alongside a haematology analyser?

Yes. LISBridge supports multiple simultaneous instrument connections. The Dimension RxL can connect on one RS-232 port while a haematology analyser connects on another.

What is the baud rate for the Dimension RxL?

The Dimension RxL communicates at 9600 baud by default. LISBridge auto-configures the port from the instrument profile.

LISBridge supports 35 instruments. See also:
