Connecting a Dymind DH36 to your LIS or EHR
Quick answer
Yes. Dymind lists a bi-directional LIS connection on the DH36's LAN port. Catenix links to that port from a gateway in your lab and forwards every count to your EHR or LIS. Dymind's DH36 sheet does not name the message format, so that is confirmed on your unit during setup.
The DH36 is Dymind's 3-part analyser for labs that do not need a 5-part differential. It counts by impedance and reports 21 parameters with WBC, RBC and platelet histograms, at up to 60 tests an hour.
It asks for very little blood, 9 microlitres a sample. The unit weighs 26 kg, keeps its lyse in a built-in position to save bench space, and is run from a 10.4 inch touch screen with an internal printer.
| What | How Catenix handles it |
|---|---|
| Analyser type | 3-part differential, impedance counting |
| Parameters | 21, with 3 histograms |
| Sample size | 9 microlitres |
| Tests per hour | Up to 60 |
| LIS connection | Bi-directional, on the LAN port |
| Message format | Confirmed on your unit during setup |
| Memory | 50,000 records with histograms |
Where the DH36 differs from the DF55
Both Dymind benchtops share a 364 mm width and a LAN port for the LIS. The DH36 gives a 3-part split of white cells (lymphocytes, mid-sized cells and granulocytes) where the DF55 gives five, needs less than half the blood, and holds 50,000 records.
For connection the practical point is the same: one network cable from the analyser to the lab network, with the four USB ports left for a printer and other external devices.
Getting 21 values into the right chart
At setup we read what your DH36 actually sends and map each of its 21 codes, from WBC and Gran# to P-LCR and P-LCC, to the code your EHR expects. After that a finished count travels from the analyser to the gateway and on to the patient record with nothing typed by hand.
Results are matched to orders by the sample ID entered at the analyser. If an ID does not match any open order, the result is set aside for lab staff to check, so it cannot attach itself to the wrong person.
Controls, drops and outages
Runs of control material are recognised and stored as QC. Catenix grades them with Westgard rules, keeps a Levey-Jennings chart per level, and stops patient results for a test from going out while its control is failing.
The gateway reconnects after a network drop by itself, keeps the original message beside every result, and holds results in the lab whenever the internet link is down.

Questions people ask
Can the Dymind DH36 connect to a LIS?
Yes. Dymind lists a bi-directional LIS connection on the LAN port.
Which protocol does the DH36 use?
Dymind's DH36 sheet does not say. Catenix confirms the message format on your unit during setup.
How many results does the DH36 store?
Up to 50,000 records, each with its three histograms.
