•
The connection with the LIS is initialised when opening the IDS-iSYS application.
•
Profiles can be sent by the LIS by downloading of the work list and/or in answer to a request sent by IDS-
iSYS (the two modes are managed interchangeably).
•
When a new SID is detected on IDS-iSYS (barcode reading or keyboard entry), IDS-iSYS examines the work
list first of all.
•
If the associated profile is not in the work list, IDS-iSYS sends a request to the LIS. The LIS must send a
message in answer to each request.
•
If the LIS does not answer to a request, IDS-iSYS will not send or accept a new message.
•
When no profile is associated to a request sent by IDS-iSYS, the LIS must send a message containing a Test
Order block with the Report Type field fixed at the value Z.
•
In answer to a request, the LIS must send a message containing a Test Order block with the profile and with
the Report Type field imperatively fixed at the value Q.
•
The «Specimen type» in the field «Specimen Descriptor» (see Order Block, page 9) must be sent with the
value corresponding to the sample type: S for Serum, U for Urine (in this case, verify that the assay protocol
is defined for this sample type). The type «Other» (value =O) must not be used for Immunoassays.
•
In the case of a field containing multiple components, if the last component(s) takes a NULL value, the last
component delimiter(s) can be not sent.
•
The exchanges between IDS-iSYS and LIS can be recorded by selecting the option available in the tab
under SET-UP/SETTINGS/SYSTEM menu:
The transfers between both systems will be recorded in a log file, in the interface software folder (folder GUI).
The log must be activated only for a sort period of time, to solve transfer problems.
Activating the log permanently may cause interface software dysfunctions.
•
The barcode should contain at least 5 digits for the removable rack configuration (sample tubes identified by
the barcode reader integrated into the sample compartment) or at least 4 digits (except if Interleaved 2/5) for
the fixed tray configuration (sample tubes identified by the barcode reader in the front of the analyser).
•
If data sent by the LIS cannot be processed, the message is accepted but the corresponding profile will not
be created in the worklist.
•
For system equipped with the option «Clot detection», when a clot is detected in a sample, all the results
previously transferred to the LIS will be resent with a field Report Type set at the value C (correction) in the
Test Order block.
In the Result block, the field Result abnormal Flags is then forced to A.
With the versions ASTM Compatible V2 and ASTM Compatible V3, a message FIB is sent in the Comment
block.
