Everything you need to test an HL7 interface

Send & receive

Send messages over MLLP or raw TCP to any endpoint, and see exactly what comes back: full ACK/NACK capture with round-trip timing. Turn on the built-in listener to catch inbound messages and test your own integrations from the other side.

Edit your way

Work with messages however suits the task: edit raw HL7 directly, use the structured field editor for precision, or the parsed view for readability. Query for specific data, or compare two messages side by side to spot exactly what changed.

Batch mode

Load a whole file of messages and step through them one at a time, or all at once. Insert, delete, or append messages as needed, then send the entire batch in a single pass.

Built-in message library

Skip writing HL7 from scratch. Ready-made templates across ADT, ORU, ORM, SIU, MDM, MFN, REF, and ACK generate a realistic message in one click, ready to edit or send.

Anonymizer

Share a message with a colleague or vendor without exposing real patient data. Strip or scramble identifying fields like name, MRN, and date of birth, and save your preferred settings as a reusable preset.

Routing & automation

Simulate an interface engine without standing one up. Define conditional routing rules on MSH, PID, PV1, and other fields to forward, log, or drop messages based on their content.
