A Clarus innovation for networking in the medical field

The Clarus Link technology

A new way to connect medical laboratories: the manager's phone and the laboratory's branches reach it from anywhere, with no fixed address, no open ports, no router setup and no technician, and the connection is encrypted end to end so that no one on the way can read it, not even us.

Why Clarus Link

The usual ways open your laboratory to the internet

For a branch or a phone to reach a laboratory from outside its network, you usually need a fixed address from the internet provider, a port opened on the router in front of a server that holds patient data, or a VPN that a technician sets up and looks after. Monthly costs, setup that repeats with every change, and a door open to the internet. Clarus Link does away with all of it.

How it works

Three steps, and no door opened in your laboratory

1

Your laboratory connects to it

When you switch Clarus Link on inside the program, your laboratory's server makes an encrypted outgoing connection to it, so not a single port is opened to the internet in your laboratory.

2

So does the phone or the branch

The manager's phone or the branch connects to Clarus Link the same way, from any network: home, office or mobile data.

3

It joins them and reads nothing

Clarus Link joins the two ends, and the connection stays encrypted end to end with your laboratory's own certificate, so the Clarus intermediary server reads none of it and holds no key.

Security and privacy

Designed for patient data

  • Encrypted end to end: from the phone or the branch to the laboratory's own server.
  • The phone checks your laboratory server's certificate on every connection, so no one can pose as your laboratory.
  • The Clarus intermediary server reads nothing that passes through it, and holds no key.
  • It keeps only the laboratory's id, the time of the connection and the bytes transferred, for thirty days, then deletes them.
  • Your laboratory's data is never kept on our servers: it stays on your computers.
  • You switch it on inside the program, and no port to the internet is opened in your laboratory.
Always connected

The shortest way, automatically

If your laboratory has an address the phone can reach directly, the phone uses it; otherwise it goes through Clarus Link, and returns to the direct way by itself as soon as it can. And if Clarus Link stops for any reason, your laboratory keeps working as it is, and access through its own address keeps working where it is set up.

What it connects

Your laboratory, its branches and your phone, and beyond

The manager's phone

The Clarus LIS Manager app reaches the laboratory from anywhere: the branches' figures, the alerts, approving results and messages.

The laboratory's branches

The branches exchange what changed with their laboratory through Clarus Link, with no fixed address in any branch and no technician.

Linking branches, and every way to do it

Other medical systems

Clarus Link started with the medical laboratory, and it is designed to extend to other medical systems.

Compare for yourself

Clarus Link against the usual ways

The other ways stay open to your laboratory with no fee from us, but they carry their own costs at the internet provider and the technician. Compare, and work it out with your laboratory's own figures.

Through Clarus Link, or your own way?

The difference is what each route needs to work, who fixes it when it breaks, and whom you pay.

Questions about Clarus Link

Is Clarus Link a VPN?

No. You install nothing and set up no router: it is built into Clarus LIS and into the Clarus LIS Manager app, and you switch it on inside the program.

Does Clarus see my laboratory's data?

No. The connection passes encrypted end to end, so the Clarus intermediary server reads none of it and holds no key, and keeps only the laboratory's id, the connection time and the bytes transferred, for thirty days. Your laboratory's data stays on your computers.

What if the internet drops or Clarus Link stops?

Your laboratory keeps working fully on its own network, each branch works on its own and then catches up, and access through the laboratory's own address keeps working where it is set up.

Do I have to use it?

No. The other ways stay open with no fee from us: a fixed address, a VPN on the router, or Tailscale. Clarus Link is for those who want to connect with no address, no ports and no technician.

Does the trial include it?

Yes. It works during the copy's trial, and is then switched on for your laboratory as a paid service if you want to keep it.
