Software Update Version 21.16

This recommended update for the afinion™ 2 introduces a new feature for connected customers, designed to improve workflow efficiency.

Key Feature: Auto-Send Functionality

Software version 21.16 enables customers using connectivity to automatically transmit patient and control results to their LIS/HIS/EMR systems.*  This automation improves workflow by eliminating the need to press the green checkmark to transmit results.  

*Auto-Send requires a middleware or LIS/HIS/EMR system that supports this functionality via the POCT1A communication protocol. For compatibility information, please contact your connectivity provider or Abbott representative.
