FAQs

  • Which EHR vendors can ndd integrate with?

    ndd can integrate with any EHR vendor that can support a bi-directional HL7 orders/results lab interface.

  • What kind of integration options does ndd offer?

    ndd offers a file-based integration utilizing an SFTP or network-based location for file communication with an EHR vendor. HL7 is the standard data structure that ndd utilizes but can support other data formats as well. The use of other interface engines can be utilized to complete an integration project.

  • What is the process for integrating your software with our existing systems?

    The first step for an integration project is to complete the EMR integration request form here: https://nddmed.com/f/emr. An integration specialist will then reach out to you with the next steps.

  • How long does the integration process typically take?

    Duration depends on the IT team of the facility. The ndd side of the integration process can be completed within a few hours for standard integrations. EasyOne Connect software is simply configured to point to the SFTP or network-based location where files are being placed.

  • How does ndd ensure that data is securely transferred during integration?

    EasyOne Connect software utilizes AES 256 encryption. SFTP has its own security protocols built into it. If a network-based location is utilized, it will follow the protocols of the facility.

    Cable damage can be caused by improper storage or handling.

    Do not wrap the cable around the handle of the device.

    Keep the cable away from sharp edges.

    If you notice any damage to the cable, discontinue use and contact ndd service and support.

    The cable can be replaced at ndd or at a certified repair location.

  • How to troubleshoot a "baseline setting failed" on the Easy on-PC

    Each time a test is started, the baseline is set. The software will prompt you to block the Spirette for this step so there is no airflow. Passing the baseline setting is required before the test can start. If the baseline fails, there may be an error stating:

    “baseline setting failed” “Check Spirette insertion” “Device initialization failed”

    Here are a few steps to try when the baseline setting error occurs.

    • First, ensure the Spirette is blocked and fully inserted.
    • Open the Spirette wrapper halfway from the bottom, leaving the top part wrapped.
    • Insert the Spirette fully align the arrows.
    • Push the Spirette in until there are no gaps.
    • Avoid any airflow, including vents, fans, or windows.
    • The end of the Spirette can also be blocked by a hand.
    • If the error still occurs, try changing the Spirette out with a new one.

    If the error still occurs after changing the Spirette, try to reset the amplitude.

    Resetting the amplitude on the device may resolve the baseline setting errors.

    To reset the amplitude, follow these steps:

    • Start a test and attempt to set the baseline.
    • When the baseline setting fail error appears, remove the Spirette and reinsert it at a 90° rotation. Intentionally incorrect.
    • Click Retry. There will be another error.
    • Insert the Spirette correctly again and restart the test to check if that resolved the error.

    These steps may need to be attempted a few times.
