TECHNIDATA launches TDBactiLink middleware for bacteriology laboratories, and dedicated website

TECHNIDATA, a leading global supplier of software solutions for clinical laboratories and biobanks, expands its microbiology offer with the second generation of its TDBactiLink middleware solution. In the meantime, the company also launches a new dedicated website, www.microbiology-middleware.com  to present all the advantages of this bacteriology middleware and describe how TDBactiLink handles laboratories’ evolution and key challenges.

TDBactiLink is a dedicated middleware solution for bacteriology laboratories looking to make the most of technological advances and paperless organization without changing their existing laboratory information system (LIS).

This middleware comes between the existing LIS and automated bacteriology instruments. It enables the user to implement a real paperless bacteriology and to benefit from all the advantages of the cost-effective paperless workbench.

“With TDBactiLink and the paperless bacteriology, the laboratory improves its efficiency, its traceability and reliability, reduces turnaround times and thus, improves patient care and reduces healthcare system costs,” said Dr. Stéphane Agay, Product Line Director and Scientific Advisor for TECHNIDATA.

TDBactiLink receives electronically the tests requests transmitted by the existing LIS, and then manages the sample reception and finally resends the results once they have been clinically and/or technically reviewed. “TDBactiLink middleware uses standard communication protocols such as HL7. It easily interfaces with any LIS and microbiology instruments, including mass spectrometry instruments and laboratory automation systems such as BD KiestraTM or COPAN WASPLabsTM. Thus, the laboratory is free to use, for today  and  tomorrow, any combination of  instruments, organization and configuration,” said Dr. Stéphane Agay.

TDBactiLink has  been  designed  for  and  with  microbiologists. This  middleware  provides  the  user  with  functionalities that perfectly meet  bacteriology  laboratories’ specific  needs in  terms of analytical processes managed by customizable protocols, epidemiology and preventive actions associated with the fight against nosocomial infections. Thus, TDBactiLink benefits from TECHNIDATA’s experience and known expertise in this field, as demonstrated by the adoption of the already available dedicated LIS for this discipline.

“With TDBactiLink, we make the most of our skills and expertise to meet the increasing demand  for  this  type  of  solution. Our aim is to keep on expanding thanks to this new growth driver including concluding distribution  agreements with  international partners, especially on the American marketplace,” said Jacques Baudin, Senior VP Business Development & Marketing, TECHNIDATA.
