I agree this is not right: several different path. labs may use the same
software to send results.
However MSH.sending_application is useful for figuring out which HL7 dialect is 
being used.

FT= formatted text: there are some simple HL7 markup tags like /.br/ for 
newline, I think one for
tabs, one for bold text, etc.

This is actually "2000-8^Sodium^LN", a field with 3 components,
LN is LOINC, 2000-8 is the code which can then be used to match
to test_type.code.
