Vol. 03 · Labs
The bench, the chart, and the Westgard rules — all in one system.
Vedge Laboratory is a full LIS built around the reality of African diagnostics: a dozen instruments from six vendors, reference ranges that need to update as populations do, reagent lots traceable for audit season, and results routed back to whatever insurance plan paid for them.
From order entry to sign-out.
Essentials free. Pro and Accredited paid.
Bring your own samples, we’ll load them.
Built in from day one, on every tier.
The six layers
Order to result. No gaps.
Traditional LIS products drop sample tracking on the floor and hand QC to a spreadsheet. Vedge holds the whole chain — so nothing goes missing, and nothing gets signed out that shouldn’t.
- I
Order entry
Orders arrive from hospital partners via HL7, from walk-ins at reception, or from the Vedge hospital product next door. Either way, one queue.
- II
Sample tracking
Barcode from collection to accessioning to instrument. Lost samples are caught before the patient calls.
- III
Instrument interfaces
Sysmex, Mindray, Abbott, Roche — the usual suspects bridge into Vedge. We write the interface if yours isn’t already in.
- IV
Quality control
Levey-Jennings charts drawn in real time. Westgard rules fire the moment a run drifts. No one has to open Excel at 21:00.
- V
Reagent inventory
Lot-level tracking from the cold chain to the bench. Expiring reagents raise flags a week out, not the morning of.
- VI
Release & report
Validated results sign out to the ordering clinician. Patients get an SMS with a secure link to their report.
On quality control
Westgard rules, drawn in real time.
Every instrument run charts against its own mean and SD. 1-2s, 1-3s, 2-2s, R-4s, 4-1s, 10x — the whole family of Westgard rules evaluate in real time. If a rule fires, the bench supervisor is paged before the next patient sample touches the instrument.
