Connecting a Dymind DH-800 to your LIS or EHR
Quick answer
Yes. Dymind states that a LAN port and HL7 with a bi-directional LIS are available on the DH-800. Catenix receives that HL7 stream and delivers whole blood and body fluid results to your LIS or EHR. Order handling and the exact configuration are confirmed on your unit during setup.
The DH-800 is the large analyser in Dymind's range: a 115 kg instrument with a 15.6 inch touch screen that runs up to 110 CBC or CBC with differential tests an hour. Dymind lists public hospitals and oncology centres among the labs it is built for.
It goes well beyond a routine count. Whole blood work covers 39 reportable parameters, including reticulocytes, nucleated red cells, immature granulocytes and an immature platelet fraction, and a body fluid mode adds seven more. Dymind notes that its published figures apply to one configuration of the DH-800, so yours may differ in detail.
| What | How Catenix handles it |
|---|---|
| Whole blood report | 39 reportable parameters, RET and NRBC included |
| Body fluid report | 7 reportable parameters |
| Output per hour | Up to 110 tests (CBC or CBC+DIFF) |
| Loading | Autoloader, manual closed tube, manual open tube |
| Tube ID | Automatic rotary barcode scanning |
| Data link | LAN and USB, HL7, bi-directional LIS |
| Stored results | 300,000 |
Racks, STAT tubes and scanned barcodes
Samples reach the DH-800 three ways: on the autoloader, as a single closed tube, or as an open tube. On the autoloader each tube is turned in front of a scanner so its barcode is read without staff involvement.
That barcode is what ties the analyser to the EHR. Dymind describes the LIS link as bi-directional, and whether your unit asks for each tube's requested tests is checked during setup. Either way, every result Catenix receives is matched to its order by the scanned sample ID, and one that matches nothing is kept back for review.
Two kinds of sample, two sets of codes
A reticulocyte count, an NRBC count and a body fluid white cell count are different tests in an EHR, even though one analyser produced them. During setup the DH-800's codes are mapped one by one: the 39 whole blood parameters to their EHR codes and the seven body fluid parameters, such as WBC-BF and RBC-BF, to theirs.
The analyser also offers a long list of research parameters. They are left unmapped by default so only reportable values reach a patient record.
Keeping a busy analyser's QC in order
At 110 tests an hour a failing control matters quickly. Catenix files control runs as QC as they arrive, applies Westgard rules against your targets and charts each level on Levey-Jennings plots. A failed control puts a hold on patient results for that test.
The HL7 message behind each result is stored with it. The gateway restores its connection after a network drop, and during an internet outage results are held on site, then sent on.

Questions people ask
Does the Dymind DH-800 support HL7?
Yes. Dymind states that HL7 with a bi-directional LIS is available, over the LAN port.
Can DH-800 body fluid results go to the EHR too?
Yes. The seven reportable body fluid parameters are mapped to their own EHR codes during setup.
Does the DH-800 read tube barcodes itself?
Yes. Dymind lists automatic rotary barcode scanning.
