Connecting the Wondfo Finecare FS-114 to your LIS with Catenix

If your clinic runs a Wondfo Finecare FS-114, you probably know the routine: an assay finishes, someone reads the value off the screen, and then it gets typed into a patient record, a spreadsheet, or your laboratory system by hand. Every one of those keystrokes is a chance for a transposed digit, a result filed against the wrong patient, or a run that simply never makes it into the record at all.

This page explains, in plain terms, what it takes to connect a Finecare FS-114 so results flow into your systems automatically. It covers the general interface the analyser offers, what Catenix does with that connection on site, and how quality-control runs are kept apart from patient results so your records stay clean and your audit trail stays intact.

Quick answer

The Wondfo Finecare FS-114 offers an HL7 result interface over the network. Catenix reads those results through a small on-site gateway, captures each one automatically, keeps quality-control runs separate from patient results, and can forward finished results to your LIS or EHR. The outcome is no manual transcription, a clear separation between QC data and patient data, and a full audit trail of what was received and where it was sent.

What the Finecare FS-114 measures

The Wondfo Finecare FS-114 is a fluorescence immunoassay analyser. In practice that means it reads test cartridges using a fluorescent label and reports a quantitative value for each marker. Across its menu it covers several clinical areas, including thyroid, cardiac, reproductive, metabolic and inflammation markers.

For the purposes of connectivity, the specific menu a site runs does not change how the link works. Whatever assay is run, the analyser produces a result record that can be sent out over its network interface. Catenix treats each of those records the same way: capture it, identify whether it is a patient result or a quality-control run, and route it accordingly. Nothing on this page is clinical guidance, and Catenix makes no claim about the accuracy or diagnostic suitability of any device. Our scope is the movement and handling of the result data only.

How it connects

The Finecare FS-114 offers an HL7 result interface over the network. HL7 version 2 is a long-established messaging standard used widely in healthcare to carry results and related information between systems. At a conceptual level, when a test completes the analyser assembles a structured message describing the result and makes it available over a network connection, rather than only showing it on screen or printing it.

Catenix connects to that interface using a small gateway installed on site. The gateway sits on the same local network as the analyser and listens for the result messages it sends. It is deliberately lightweight and runs quietly in the background. Because the analyser talks to a device on its own network rather than reaching out to the internet directly, the clinical device stays inside your network boundary, and the gateway is the single component responsible for passing results onward to your Catenix workspace.

Every analyser family expresses HL7 in its own way, so part of getting connected is confirming how this particular device presents its results and configuring the gateway to read them correctly. That configuration work is handled during onboarding and does not require anyone at the clinic to understand the underlying message format.

Results and quality control in Catenix

Once the gateway is receiving messages, each result is captured automatically and appears in your Catenix workspace without anyone retyping it. That removes the transcription step entirely, along with the errors and delays that come with it.

A central part of how Catenix handles a POCT analyser is keeping quality-control runs separate from patient results. When you run a control on the FS-114, that run should not sit in a patient's record or distort your result reporting. Catenix identifies quality-control runs and stores them apart from patient data, so your QC history builds up in its own view while patient records stay clean. This matters for reviewing control performance over time and for keeping your records defensible.

From there, finished patient results can be forwarded onward. Catenix can push results to a LIS or EHR so the systems your clinic already uses receive the data in the format they expect. Throughout, an audit trail records what was received from the analyser and where it was sent, which supports quality reviews and gives you a clear account of the data's journey.

Getting connected

To connect a Finecare FS-114 you need three things: the analyser reachable on your local network, a place for the Catenix gateway to run on that same network, and agreement on where finished results should be sent. Most sites already have the first two in place.

The practical steps are to confirm the analyser's network settings, install the gateway, verify that a test result arrives correctly in your Catenix workspace, and then enable onward forwarding to your LIS or EHR if you use one.

Questions clinics ask

Can I connect a Wondfo Finecare FS-114 to my LIS?

Yes. The FS-114 offers an HL7 result interface over the network, and Catenix reads those results through an on-site gateway and can forward finished results to your LIS or EHR. The exact routing is set up during onboarding so results land in the system you already use.

Do staff still have to type results in by hand?

No. Once the gateway is connected, results are captured automatically as the analyser produces them, so there is no manual retyping. That removes the transcription step and the errors that come with it.

How are quality-control runs handled?

Catenix identifies quality-control runs and stores them separately from patient results. Your QC history builds up in its own view while patient records stay clean, which supports control review and keeps your records defensible.

What needs to be in place on site to connect it?

You need the analyser reachable on your local network, somewhere for the small Catenix gateway to run on that same network, and a decision on where finished results should be sent. Most clinics already have the first two.

Does the analyser send data out to the internet directly?

No. The analyser talks to the Catenix gateway on your local network, and the gateway is the component that passes results onward to your workspace. The clinical device stays inside your network boundary.

Where can I find out about pricing and security?
