The low level connection protocol uses the standard ASTM E 1381-95 “Standard Specification for Low-Level
protocol to transfer messages between clinical laboratory Instruments and computer systems” and the high
level connection protocol uses the standard ASTM E1394-91 “Standard Specification for transferring
information between clinical instruments and computer systems”.
