Power Express CENNEXUS Software

Houses the following software applications for Power Express:

Cennexus – Process control software for Power Express

• Software works with hardware to automate processing and manage patient sample tubes through preanalytical, analytical, and postanalytical processes
• Receives sample programming from the LIS and then downloads routing information to Line Control
• Bar code : Bar code reader reads primary sample tube bar code label to identify from Cennexus
  how many secondary tubes the sample programming requires
• Aliquotter : Based on Cennexus setting, option is available to let the primary tube continue
  processing on connected analyzers even though there may be insufficient volume to
  create all requested secondary tubes for all requested tests
• Cennexus is updated with reagent status and sample status for dynamic analyzer
  connections. Samples going to non-dynamic connections are considered complete once
  they reach the module

Line Control – Controls sample movement through the entire system

• Sends and receives informationfrom Cennexus and the Power Express track system
• Provides status of connected modules

  ---

Power Express communications

• Cennexus receives sample programming information from the host (LIS or middleware) and routes it to Line Control
• Line Control communicates with Cennexus to route sample tubes on the Power Express system
• Cennexus provides dynamic interface to AU680, AU5800, DxC, and DxI analyzers.
• This two-way communication supports real-time updates to analyzer availability, test availability, sample tube arrival or rack load, and test completion
• Cennexus supports non-dynamic analyzers such as hematology, hemostasis (coagulation), and non-Beckman Coulter connected analyzers
