EKF Link is a middleware solution for healthcare providers to manage all of their Point of Care analyzers and the generated data on one centralized platform.
EKF Link is a flexible, open solution that can be interfaced to any vendor’s Point of Care analyzer to permit the real-time management of data including patient test results, QC results, operator management and analyser configuration.
EKF Link enables the transfer of data from the analyzer to the hospital or laboratory database for subsequent processing.
EKF Link provides hospitals, labs and GP with the functionality to manage and evaluate their patient and user data easily and securely.

‘EKF Link is an outstanding data management system at Point Of Care in the Hospital setting. In our Trust we have connected a number of POCT devices and in turn safe guarding our staff and patients in line with MHRA guidance on the use of POCT devices.
EKF Link is easy to use and intuitive at every stage. All our connected POCT devices have IQC lock out predefined by POCT, lot number control of consumables & IQC material, barcoded operator ID’s, patient demographics set as mandatory inputs at point of care.
All results are electronically transmitted from the device to EKF Link and takes are in place with the Trust to activate these in the electronic patient record. In the meantime the results are available to view in EKF Link in easy to use patient result screens, displaying graphs, all on a particular patient across all the devices and over the lifetime of the patient testing.
EKF Link has made life simple and easy at point of care and we are now exploring connecting 3rd party devices to the platform.’
