ImproMed Infinity Veterinary Management System: Basic Steps
®
• Set Up LabREXX in the Infinity System
• Use LabREXX to Create a Requisition
The IDEXX Reference Laboratories InterLink™ connection to the ImproMed® Infinity Veterinary Management System
lets you generate LabREXX® test requisition forms online and then print them out to include with specimens you
send for testing. When you use the LabREXX module:
• You can find and select tests quickly, using the online searchable test database.
• The printout is clear and easy-to-read, with a bar code containing patient information
for safe and accurate sample identification.
• You’ll never run out of forms just when you need them most.
Before You Begin
To use the LabREXX module in your ImproMed Infinity software, your practice must:
• Be using ImproMed Infinity version 4.4 or later.
• Have an IDEXX VetConnect® account. (VetConnect is the IDEXX Reference Laboratories’ Web site.)
• Have Internet access on all computers where you will create requisitions.
To request a free VetConnect account:

members to the VetConnect account.
