The software now supports TLS 1.3 for network transfers and logs all data access attempts – a clear nod to HIPAA and GDPR requirements. Additionally, local cache files are now AES-256 encrypted automatically.
For years, clinics using Tomey instruments (such as the Tomey OA-2000, Tomey AL-4000, Tomey CASIA 2, or RT-7000) relied on generic file exports or manual data entry. The old iterations of the Tomey Data Transfer Software worked, but they often required clunky workarounds, lacked support for modern Windows security protocols, and struggled with structured query language (SQL) integration for major EMRs like Epic, Medisoft, or RevolutionEHR. tomey data transfer software updated
The updated software addresses three core pain points: The software now supports TLS 1
While Tomey devices have historically relied on proprietary formats, the new transfer software acts as a middleware translator. It can now encapsulate Tomey’s native .TMC files into standard DICOM SR (Structured Reporting) or HL7 ADT messages. This is a game-changer for hospitals that require an audit trail for every data modification. “We have three Tomey topographers and two AL-4000s
Previous versions occasionally dropped connections with older Tomey units. The update introduces a re-queuing system – if a transfer fails mid-send, the software now automatically retries without corrupting the patient file. In testing, this reduced failed exports by ~70%.
“We have three Tomey topographers and two AL-4000s. Before the update, data transfer was a manual drag-and-drop nightmare. With the new bi-directional sync, our techs save roughly 15 minutes per day. That adds up to over 60 hours a year reclaimed for patient care.”

“The DICOM support is what sold us. Our hospital IT security refused to allow the old software because it stored unencrypted XML locally. Now it’s fully encrypted with AES-256. The audit trail feature alone is worth the upgrade.”
