PrimeSuite Supported Clinical Devices and Lab Interfaces
More Solutions Through ACDs and Clinical Devices
Through Active Device Controls (ADCs), PrimeSuite provides workflow integration between disparate clinical devices and applications that control each device and PrimeSuite. These PrimeSuite enhancement modules are developed in accordance with the targeted machine’s specifications as identified by the practice and the manufacturer.
