QuidelOrtho Sofia
Also known as Quidel Sofia.
ConnectivityWise puts every Sofia result in your EHR the moment the run finishes and tells your staff it's ready. One simple price per location covers it, along with every other instrument you run.
Tests the Sofia runs
We'll confirm which of these your Sofia is configured to run during implementation.
About the SOFIA Fluorescent Immunoassay Analyzer
SOFIA is the original benchtop instrument of QuidelOrtho's SOFIA platform, since joined by the SOFIA 2. It reads lateral-flow cassettes with proprietary advanced fluorescence chemistry, so the instrument produces an objective, automated result instead of a visually interpreted line. QuidelOrtho states the SOFIA benchtop systems return results in three to 15 minutes with roughly one minute of hands-on time. On the original SOFIA instrument, the influenza A+B assay reads at 15 minutes. The SOFIA assay menu covers influenza A+B, RSV, group A strep, SARS-CoV-2, and Lyme, and results can be stored and reviewed remotely through the VIRENA connectivity system. Learn more about the instrument at the manufacturer's product page.
Why practices connect the Sofia
A rapid fluorescent immunoassay is only as fast as the trip its result takes to the chart. Connecting the SOFIA means the result posts to the patient record when the instrument finishes the read and staff get notified: no printed slips, no retyping, nothing sitting on the bench waiting to be entered.
Send Sofia results to your EHR
Results from the Sofia file into whichever EHR you run, matched to the order where you use one. We connect to any EHR or EMR that accepts results.
Sofia connectivity questions
Can the Sofia connect to my EHR?
Yes. ConnectivityWise interfaces the QuidelOrtho Sofia and posts its results into your EHR automatically, matched to the order where you use one, or filed directly where you don't. Nobody retypes a value.
Which EHRs can the Sofia send results to?
Any EHR or EMR that accepts results, including Epic, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, Oracle Health, Greenway, and PointClickCare. Automatic result upload works with any order and results workflow.
Does quality control from the Sofia get captured?
ConnectivityWise captures quality control results alongside patient results, so your CLIA records are complete when an inspector asks. What a given instrument reports varies by device, so we confirm exactly what your Sofia emits during implementation.
What does it take to connect a Sofia?
The Data Sync Agent, one small install on any Windows computer in your organization, collects results from the instrument and syncs them securely to the ConnectivityWise cloud. A single installation covers every instrument and location you have, and a named human guides the setup and validation end to end.
