Win the connectivity tender
"Does it integrate?" is now the first question in procurement. Pairing your analyser with Catenix gives a clean, demonstrable answer, and removes the objection that loses deals.
Home / For manufacturers
Your analyser is harder to sell if the buyer isn't sure it will connect.
A clinic that can't see how your instrument will fit its workflow hesitates, or picks a competitor that already connects. Catenix gives you a ready connectivity route into clinic and laboratory workflows, so your results land in the patient record with a clear audit trail. You get all of this without building and maintaining a full LIS of your own.
How Catenix sits with your device
Your result goes in. Audited delivery comes out. Never interpreted.
In
Your instrument output
HL7 v2, POCT1-A2 or ASTM over serial or TCP, exactly as your analyser already sends it.
Through
Catenix moves it faithfully
Read, matched to the patient and visit, and logged from start to finish. We carry your status and flags exactly as sent.
Out
Delivered & traceable
Into the clinic record, the report, the downstream LIS or GP, with a full audit trail.
Where the line is
Catenix is connectivity and record-keeping infrastructure. We transport and display the result your device produces; we do not re-calculate, re-classify, risk-score or re-flag anything. Clinical interpretation stays where it belongs, with your analyser and the clinician.
Why partner with Catenix
Connectivity becomes a feature you can sell.
Skip building a LIS
You make great instruments; you shouldn't have to maintain middleware, audit logs and delivery integrations too. Catenix is that layer, already built and supported.
Map once, reuse everywhere
We map your analyser one time. After that, every clinic running Catenix can switch your device on with a setting change, not a fresh integration project each time.
What we handle for you
From your analyser to a delivered result.
Bring us the instrument and a sample of its output. We map it once, then it's a supported integration every Catenix site can reuse.
- Supported protocols: HL7 v2.x, POCT1-A2 and ASTM, including vendor-specific formatting and the non-standard quirks real devices send.
- Two-way routes: orders and queries down to the analyser where it supports them, results back up.
- Flags carried as sent: your H/L/abnormal flags and result status are stored and shown exactly as your device produced them.
- Edge gateway: a small Windows agent connects bench instruments to the cloud over a secure channel.
- Full audit trail: every message in and out is logged for traceability and inspection.
- Co-branded onboarding and sales support: integration kits and one-pagers your sales team can hand to a prospect.
Questions, answered
What manufacturers ask first.
Can we offer Catenix connectivity with our analysers?
Yes. That is the model. Your instrument ships with a supported connectivity route: results flow over HL7, POCT1-A2 or ASTM into the clinic's record or downstream LIS, with a full audit trail. Co-branded onboarding material is part of the partnership.
What do you need from us to build an integration?
The instrument's interface specification and a sample of its output. We map the protocol once, including vendor-specific framing, and it becomes a supported driver every Catenix site can use.
Does Catenix alter or interpret our device's results?
No. Catenix transports and displays the result your device produced: values, units, status and flags verbatim. It does not re-calculate, re-classify or interpret anything, and it provides no clinical decision support.
Is there a per-device or per-test charge for connectivity?
No. Device drivers for supported analysers are part of the platform, and Catenix has no per-test fees. It is a subscription priced per clinic or site, with optional add-on modules at a flat monthly price.
