Introduction
Overview The QP-822V Data Management Software can be installed in a PC with Windows XP
Professional. The Data Management Software allows data communication with a
Nihon Kohden hematology analyzer. You can receive the measured data from a
hematology analyzer, and edit and print the data on the PC.
The Data Management Software also supports work lists. You can create and edit a
work list on the PC or receive it from the hospital network and send it to the
hematology analyzer.
Composition
Hematology Analyzer To use the Data Management Software with the hematology analyzer, the following
Software Version software version of the hematology analyzer is required.
NOTE
The Data Management Software cannot function properly with earlier
versions.
Receiving QC data
QC is enabled by receiving QC data from the hematology analyzer.
Work list
Work list measurement is performed by sending a work list from the Data
Management Software to the hematology analyzer. Creating a work list is easy with
the work list function. ID bar code labels can also be printed. Work lists created on
other software applications can also be used.
A work list can be created automatically from an order from the LIS (Laboratory
Information System) and then sent to the hematology analyzer. Measured data can
also be sent to the LIS.
NOTE
You need software for the LIS to use the Data Management Software in
the LIS mode. Contact your Nihon Kohden distributor for the
communication specifications for LAN access.

Connecting Two If you connect two hematology analyzers to the Data Management Software PC, the
Hematology Analyzers to analyzer name (Unit No.) must be set on the hematology analyzers so that the Data
the Data Management Management Software can recognize the data origin. Refer to the operator’s manual
Software PC of the hematology analyzers.
When connecting only one hematology analyzer, the analyzer name does not need
to be set.
<Example>
When connecting two MEK-8222J/K hematology analyzers:
Set [UNIT 1] or [UNIT 2] for item [ANALYZER NAME] of [USB SETTING] on the
[MENU] → [SETTINGS] → [OUTPUT FORMAT] screen.
When you connect the Data Management Software PC and hematology analyzer
with the USB cable, the PC detects the hematology analyzer and starts installing the
driver.
1. When the PC detects the hematology analyzer, the following window appears.
2. Select [Search for a suitable driver for my device [recommended] and click
[Next].
After installing the driver, check that the Data Management Software starts
correctly. Refer to “Starting the Data Management Software” in Section 3.
Installing Drivers for P-touch Printer for Printing Bar Code Labels
NOTE
This procedure is for using P-touch printer for printing bar code labels.
The bar code label width for the Data When not using P-touch printer, there is no need to do this procedure.
Management Software is either 12 or 24
mm.
1. Connect the P-touch printer to the Data Management Software PC and set P-
touch printer settings on the analyzer. For details, refer to the P-touch manual.
2. In Windows File Explorer, open the CD-ROM drive which contains the QP 822V
installation CD.
4. Select [Install] from the pop-up menu. The driver for the P-touch printer is

Work List A work list is an instruction file for measuring samples, including patient information
such as measurement type, normal range, and patient name.
Work List Measurement The work list is transferred from the Data Management Software (DMS) to the
hematology analyzer and used to control measurement.
Modes The work list has two operation modes-Bar code and No Bar Code.
Bar code
The embedded bar code reader (option) reads the bar code label on the sample tube
to identify the sample regardless of its rack position. Make bar code labels for all
samples and attach them on the sample tubes before measurement.
Bar code mode is further divided into the following 3 modes.
• Stand-alone mode Section 4
• Network Path mode Section 4
• Network communication mode Section 4
No Bar code
The sample is indentified by its rack location. Measurement is quicker because there
is no need to make and attach bar codes. However, you must be sure not to mix up
the samples.
This mode is further divided into the following 2 modes.
• Stand-alone mode Section 4
• Network Path mode Section 4
Stand-alone Mode:
This mode sends the work list made by the Data Management Software (without
external software or files) to the hematology analyzer to perform measurement.

NOTE
• The work list cannot be read if the file name is wrong. The file name is
case-sensitive.
• The work list can have up to 500 data.
• Do not register data of the same ID on the work list.
• The DMS tries to transfer data via USB to the connected hematology
analyzer. If the hematology analyzer is not reading the work list,
transfer is impossible. Before reading the work list file on the Data
Management Software, change the hematology analyzer screen to the

Q&A
Q.1 Can a printer for bar code and a printer for measured data be connected to the
PC at the same time?
A.1 Yes.
The WA-820V printer (TM-L90 by Seiko Epson equivalent) must be connected
to the serial port, but a locally purchased printer can be connected to the USB
(or parallel) port. The P-touch printer for bar code label is connected to the
USB port.
Q.3 No printing.
A.3 Printer may be disconnected or set incorrectly.
Connect and set the printer correctly, referring to the operator’s manual of the
printer. Close the Data Management Software before changing the Windows
printer settings.
Q.4 The “ Registration code required” message is displayed when the Data
Management Software is started.

The Data Management Software and analyzer are connected by USB.
The Data Management This explanation assumes that the Data Management Software PC manages the
Software has a Direct LIS measured data on the hematology analyzer.
Connection
Orders are sent from the LIS to the Data Management Software PC. The Data
Management Software combines the received orders from the LIS on one order list,
processes the order list as the work list, and sends the work list to the hematology
analyzer. The hematology analyzer receives the work list only after confirming
whether to receive it. The hematology analyzer performs measurement according to
the work list, and sends the measured data to the Data Management Software PC.
Measured data are saved on the Data Management Software PC. The user sends the
measured data from the Data Management Software PC to the LIS.
The hematology analyzer performs measurement according to the work list and
sends the measured data to the Data Management Software PC. The received
measured data is saved to the hard disk of the Data Management Software PC. The
user sends the measured data from the Data Management Software to the LIS.
Measured Data

Orders are sent from the LIS to the Data Management Software PC. Through the
LIS, you can add, delete, or edit orders on the Data Management Software.

4. MEK-8222
Each time the Data Management Software receives an order, it edits the order
list and sends the work list to the MEK-8222. The MEK-8222 displays a
confirmation dialog box to receive the work list. Selecting [YES] overwrites the
work list received on a previously received work list.
NOTE
MEK-8222 can receive work list only on the READY screen or the WORK
LIST screen.
5. MEK-8222
Work list measurement starts. During measurement, The MEK-8222 reads bar
codes on the samples to acquire IDs. The analyzer uses the work list to perform
measurement in accordance with the order. After finishing measurement,
measured data are automatically sent to the Data Management Software. If the
analyzer reads an ID not on the work list or a sample with no bar code,
measurement is not performed.
7. MEK-8222
After measuring all samples, display the READY screen. The measured status
of each rack is indicated by colors as follows:

If there are more orders from the LIS, the Data Management Software sends a
work list again. Add any new samples to the rack with not measured samples.
Repeat steps 3 to 8 until all samples are measured.

Software Orders are sent from the LIS to the Gateway Server. The Gateway Server sends
the orders to the appropriate hematology analyzer. The hematology analyzer
receives the work list, performs measurement according to the work list, and
sends the measured data to the Data Management Software PC. The measured
result is sent to the Gateway Server. The Gateway Server manages the measured
result.
When the Gateway Software is installed in the Gateway Server, it automatically
sends and receives data to and from the analyzer. So, no Data Management
