LIS/HIS interface validation

InLab Simulator

Virtually mimic analyzer and medical-device interface behavior so LIS, HIS, middleware, and validation teams can test scenarios before they touch live workflows.

The problem

Why this matters

Wet testing and live-device validation can be slow, expensive, and limited by instrument availability, reagent use, specimen availability, staffing, and narrow test windows. Interface teams often need repeatable edge cases that are hard to reproduce on demand.

The solution

What it does

InLab Simulator provides configurable virtual device behavior for interface messages, result flows, order responses, abnormal scenarios, repeats, cancels, flags, and timing tests. It is designed to improve validation coverage while reducing unnecessary dependency on physical specimens and live instruments.

Core capabilities

Built for practical deployment.

Test more interface scenarios without waiting for every condition to exist on a live instrument.

Configurable virtual analyzer/device profiles.

LIS, HIS, middleware, and instrument-interface test scenarios.

Repeatable message playback and edge-case simulation.

ASTM, HL7, TCP/IP, file-drop, and custom protocol roadmap.

Positive, negative, abnormal, held, corrected, repeat, and cancel scenario support.

Validation evidence exports for test scripts and interface sign-off packages.

Workflow

How it works

1
Build or select a virtual device profile.
2
Define orders, results, flags, timing, and exception scenarios.
3
Run repeatable tests against the LIS/HIS/middleware interface.
4
Export evidence and reduce the amount of wet testing needed for repeatable interface checks.
Ideal for
  • LIS administrators
  • Interface analysts
  • Middleware validation teams
  • Hospitals preparing analyzer or interface upgrades
Outputs
  • Virtual device profiles
  • Repeatable validation scenarios
  • Interface message logs
  • Evidence exports for validation packets
