Laboratory Automation: Communications With Automated Clinical Laboratory Systems, Instruments, Devices, and Information Systems; Approved Standard - Second Edition
This standard provides a protocol for communications between Laboratory Automation Systems (LASs), Laboratory Information Systems (LISs), automated instruments (analyzers), and pre- and postanalytical (pre- and postexamination) automated devices. The primary audience for this standard is health careproviders in the clinical laboratory implementing laboratory automation, vendors of laboratoryautomation, instrumentation, and LISs. However, in the future, elements of this standard may be applicable to the anatomic pathology, cytology, and related laboratories, as well as to nonclinical (analytical) laboratories. Additionally, although the focus of this standard is clinical laboratory automation, elements of the standard may apply to related (nonautomated) areas such as small analyzers or point-of-care devices. This standard fits into the series of interrelated CLSI automation standards (AUTO01,1 AUTO02,2AUTO04,3 and AUTO054) (Replaces AUTO 03-A Vol. 20 No. 30)
