The real-time connection between dialysis machines and a clinical information system via HL7 or proprietary protocols, enabling automatic capture of treatment parameters, alarms, and machine status.
Machine integration eliminates manual charting of dialysis parameters by automatically capturing data directly from the dialysis machine. Standard connection types: (1) HL7 v2.x — the most common healthcare messaging standard, with ADT (admission/discharge/transfer) and ORU (observation result) message types; (2) Serial/RS-232 — older connection protocol still used by many machines; (3) TCP/IP — modern ethernet-based connection; (4) Proprietary APIs — manufacturer-specific interfaces (Fresenius Data Management System, Baxter AK-WinConnect). Captured parameters include: blood flow rate (Qb), dialysate flow rate (Qd), venous/arterial pressure, transmembrane pressure (TMP), ultrafiltration rate and volume, conductivity, temperature, heparin rate, and machine alarms. ZuvFlo Bridge provides out-of-box connectivity with Fresenius 4008/5008, Baxter AK 96/AK 200, and B. Braun Dialog+, with HL7 and FHIR interfaces for future compatibility.
A set of international standards for the exchange of clinical and administrative health data between healthcare information systems.
A modern healthcare data exchange standard developed by HL7 that uses RESTful APIs and modular 'resources' for flexible, web-friendly interoperability.
The ability of different healthcare information systems, devices, and applications to access, exchange, integrate, and cooperatively use data in a coordinated manner across organizational boundaries.
A medical procedure that filters waste products, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood using a dialysis machine when the kidneys can no longer perform this function adequately.
