Connectivity Map - Abbott i-STAT Alinity Operation Manual

Connectivity Map

To enable the sending and receiving of data to and from the i‑STAT Alinity instrument, configure the
connections to the remote systems listed in the Connectivity Map.
The Connectivity Map includes:
Test Records
Device Events
Operator List
Patient List
Cartridge List
Log Events
For each remote system mapped, the following information is needed:
• Reviewer Name - information system name, for example, InfoHQ
• Vendor Name - for example, Abbott Point of Care
• IP Address
• Network Port
Instrument Clock Date/Time Synchronization
When the Connectivity Map settings are enabled for Test Records, Operator List, Patient List or Cartridge
List and the instrument is connected to a network via wired or wireless interface, the instrument will
automatically synchronize the date and time of its clock with the data manager's time. This feature may
be disabled via the instrument Set Clock flow. See
1.2 i‑STAT Alinity Instrument for details.
If all the IP addresses in the Connectivity Map are the same, the instrument may synchronize time during
any of the data manager communication sessions (for example, transmitting results or receiving lists).
If the IP addresses in the Connectivity Map are not all the same, the instrument will synchronize time
with only one data manager. In this case, the instrument will select the one data manager according to
the first enabled IP address in the Connectivity Map in the following order: Test Records, Operator List,
Cartridge List, Patient List.
Note: Instruments can be set to initiate communication with internal sources each time
they power down. See the section
Communications.
