Description
The CLINITEK Status Connect System pairs the Status+ analyzer platform with a connector base that moves results straight into the laboratory information system or electronic medical record. Wireless, Ethernet, and serial options let a point of care program standardize testing across rooms and sites. Operator and quality control lockouts add the oversight that connected testing makes possible.
- Bi-directional connectivity – sends patient and QC results to the LIS, EMR, or data manager automatically, with no manual transcription
- Wireless, Ethernet, or serial – gives each site a connection method that fits its network and security policies
- Operator lockout controls – restrict testing to authorized, certified operators with customizable access levels
- Programmable QC lockout – blocks patient testing when quality control protocols are not followed or a QC test fails
Main Description
Point of care urinalysis programs grow quickly, and manual result transcription becomes the weak point as sites and operators multiply. The Connect system addresses that by transmitting patient and quality control results automatically to the laboratory information system, the electronic medical record, or a point of care data manager. It supports HL7 and POCT1-A2 protocols and interfaces with leading data management solutions, including the Siemens RAPIDComm system, for centralized oversight. Barcode entry speeds up patient, operator, lot, and expiration data capture and cuts transcription errors at the source. Administrators can define QC protocols across multiple sites and enforce them with lockouts, so compliance is built into the workflow rather than audited after the fact. Underneath the connectivity, the same Auto-Checks quality monitoring guards every strip result.
Features and Benefits
Connectivity and Data Management
- Flexible transmission – connects by wireless, Ethernet, or serial link to the LIS, HIS, EMR, or point of care middleware
- Protocol support – covers HL7 and POCT1-A2, and interfaces with RAPIDComm and other leading data management solutions
- Barcode data entry – captures patient ID, operator ID, lot, and expiration dating with a quick scan, improving response time
Oversight and Quality Control
- Operator management – supports customized access levels, operator ID entry, and lockout that prevents unauthorized use
- QC program control – lets coordinators define QC protocols across sites, with lockout when a protocol is missed or QC fails
- QC record storage – keeps up to 200 quality control test records on the system, with documentation and reports on demand

Why Choose This Product?
A single standalone analyzer serves one room well, but a program running urinalysis across a clinic network needs results, operators, and quality control managed centrally. This system is the Siemens answer to that step up, keeping the familiar Status+ testing platform while adding connected oversight. It is the configuration to choose when documentation and compliance carry as much weight as the test itself.
- No manual transcription – automatic result transmission removes a documented source of charting errors and saves staff time
- Compliance enforced – programmable QC protocols and lockout keep every site testing to the same standard
- Central oversight – coordinators see results, operators, and QC across locations through the data manager
- Same trusted testing – the connected system keeps the Auto-Checks strip quality monitoring of the Status+ platform
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the system connect to our records system?
It transmits results by wireless, Ethernet, or serial connection to a laboratory information system, hospital information system, EMR, or point of care data manager. HL7 and POCT1-A2 protocols are supported, including interfacing with the Siemens RAPIDComm data management system.
What do the three configurations change?
The hardware and connectivity are the same in all three configurations. They differ only in the warranty term supplied, at 12, 36, or 60 months, so a program can align coverage with its service contracts.
Can testing be restricted to trained operators?
Yes. The system supports customized operator access levels, operator ID entry, and lockout that prevents unauthorized use. Coordinators can also maintain operator certification records and restrict access as certifications lapse.
How is quality control enforced?
QC protocols can be defined for operators across multiple sites, and the system applies a QC lockout if a protocol is not followed or a QC test fails. Up to 200 QC test records are stored, and QC documentation and reports can be downloaded on demand.
Does it still check strip quality automatically?
Yes. Auto-Checks monitor each strip for humidity exposure, identify the Siemens strip type, and check for common sample interferences where that check is available. Results transmitted include operator and patient ID plus lot and expiration data.
Is a barcode reader included in the workflow?
Barcode entry is supported for patient ID, operator ID, lot, and expiration dating, with an optional barcode reader available for the system. Scanning replaces manual keying and reduces transcription errors.
Packaging and Ordering
Sold as listed: ea (SKU 1797, 1797-EXT-3, 1797-EXT-5). Programs usually align the warranty term with their data management contract cycle.
