Welcome to Blue Cherry 

 
Thank you for choosing the Blue Cherry diagnostic platform, we are sure you will be very happy 
with your choice, and find the advanced functionality offered by Blue Cherry a great benefit in your 
diagnostic activities. 
 
The Blue Cherry diagnostic platform offers its user a level of functionality which is unsurpassed, 
providing multiple diagnostic measurements from within a single software platform. Addition of 
further diagnostic measurements couldn’t be easier: simply purchase the required hardware and 
plug it into a spare USB 2.0 port on the PC. The Blue Cherry system will recognise the new device 
and testing will become available within the diagnostic platform. 
 
The Blue Cherry platform works well as a standalone device for the smallest of requirements, 
however expansion for the future is simple. The software has been designed to allow connection of 
multiple units to a single Blue Cherry Database to allow centralisation of data, for the purposes of 
reporting or statistical analysis, further with the ability to interconnect with many Hospital 
information systems using the HL7 format, the diagnostic system can be integrated into even the 
largest of requirements.

strongly recommend reading this manual carefully in order to avoid incorrect use or damage to the
