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.
LISBridge reads the ASTM E1394 stream in real time. Every result message is decoded — field by field — into structured data.
Each result is checked for completeness. Duplicates caught. Malformed messages flagged. Only clean data moves forward.
Validated results reach your HIS automatically — as HL7 or direct format. Stored locally too. No manual entry required.
The Pentra XLR uses ASTM E1394 over RS-232. LISBridge includes a Horiba-specific parser that handles the XLR's parameter ordering and extended result codes.
Yes. The Horiba Pentra XLR parser extracts Nucleated Red Blood Cell counts (NRBC%, NRBC#) when reported by the instrument.
Yes — the Pentra 400 (chemistry) uses a separate parser. Both the XLR (haematology) and Pentra 400 (chemistry) are supported and can run on the same LISBridge installation simultaneously.
Under 30 minutes. Connect the RS-232 cable, open LISBridge, and the Pentra XLR is detected automatically. The Horiba ASTM parser loads without manual selection.
