    Definitions 

    End of Transmission (ASCII decimal 4).

    Carriage Return (ASCII decimal 13).

    Record In reference to the low level protocol, a record is themessage data (shown as [DATA]) as described within thecommunications packet. If the data is longer than 240characters, then it must be split into two parts and sent intwo communications packets. The intermediate packetuses the character, and the ending packet uses the character. No single communications packetcontains more than one record.

    In reference to the message layer, a record can be one ofthe following codes: H (header), P (patient), O (order),R (result), L (terminator), C (comment). Refer to theMessage Layer section later in this document.

    Repeat Field An additional field of the preceding type when indicated by a repeat delimiter. The Access System parses and mayproduce repeat fields in the Universal Test ID field of aTest Order Record, but ignores other occurrences of repeatfields.

    Sender The device that has a message to send and initiates thetransmission process, in this case between the LIS and theAccess System. The sender in this document is either theAccess System or the LIS.

    Session A total unit of communication activity used in this

    standard to indicate the events starting with theEstablishment phase and ending with the Terminationphase. Refer to Frame Layer Protocol later in thisdocument.

    Test A determination of a single analyte or a combination ofvalues from other determinations or observations fromwhich a variable or gradable result is derived.

    Upload The transmission of data from the Access System to theLIS.

    Frame Layer Protocol 

    3/00   © 2000 Copyright Beckman Coulter, Inc.

    4 Rev 101968P Access LIS Vendor Information  

    Frame LayerProtocol

    The recommended Low Level Protocol to use for transferring messages is based

    on an ACK/WAIT protocol. The low level protocol transfers messages as

    specified by the ASTM E1381-95 standard.

    Establishment PhaseDuring the establishment protocol phase, the communication link between the

    Access System and the LIS is set up.

    After an is sent, the state of the sender must then change to allow data to

     be received.

    If both the Access System and the LIS send an simultaneously, the Access

    System has priority.

    Transfer Phase

    During the transfer protocol phase, data is sent back and forth between the Access

    System and the LIS. The Access System uses data transfer conventions outlined in

    the ASTM E1381-95 standard for the data layer protocol. Any conventions that are

    not supported are noted and addressed. Refer to the Message Layer section later

    in this document.

    Termination Phase

    During the termination protocol phase, a sequence of characters or conditions

    causes communication between the Access System and the LIS to cease, either

    normally or abnormally.

    Transport Layer Sequence

    The following tables illustrate a transport layer sequence:

    Physical Layer 

    3/00   © 2000 Copyright Beckman Coulter, Inc.

    6 Rev 101968P Access LIS Vendor Information  

    Physical Layer All communications are expected to use the RS232 communication protocol, based upon the Electronics Industries Association (EIA) standard RS232-C.

    As part of the conformance to this standard, the Access System is configured asData Terminal Equipment (DTE).

    The Access System is cabled to the LIS via the DB-9-M or DB-9-F connector on the

    Access System (labeled “LIS”; located near the printer and terminal ports).

    The DB-9 Connector provides RXD at pin 2, TXD at pin 3, and signal ground at

    pin 5. No other connections are used for the ASTM E1381-95 protocol. The

    following table shows the pin assignments for both the Access System and the

    LIS.

    The operator defines the baud rate, choosing either 1200 or 2400 baud. The

    number of data bits per character, parity bit, and number of stop bits are as

    defined in ASTM standard E1381-95.

    MessageLayer

    This document references the ASTM standard E1394-91, and the recommended

    support of the ASTM protocol. The intent of this section is to develop a complete

    understanding of the particular records and fields as supported by the Access

    System.

    Message Layer 

    The low level protocol communications are separate from the message level. It is

    recommended that the ACK/WAIT protocol specified in the Frame Layer

    Protocol section be used with this ASTM standard.

    Message ContentThe following is a list of the limitations and general considerations regarding

    message content.

    AllowedCharacters

    Allowed are ASCII 7 (BEL), 9 (HT), 11 (VT), 12 (FF),13 (CR), 32-126, 128-254. However, the message data(shown as [DATA]) sent to the Access System must berestricted to ASCII 32-126 for proper operation of theAccess System Software. Specific fields may furtherrestrict allowed characters.

    Maximum Field

    Length

    No maximum field length is imposed within the

    message-receiving mechanism. However, the messageparsing performed by the Access System/LIS InterfaceSoftware enforces certain restrictions. Refer to the recordtables later in this document for specific fieldrestrictions.

    Maximum RecordLength

    No maximum record length is imposed within themessage-receiving mechanism. However, the messageparsing performed by the Access System Softwarerestricts records to 1024 characters in length.

    Delimiters Any of the allowable characters, as specified in ASTME1394-91, may be used as delimiters. Unless otherwise

    documented, the following characters should be used:Field delimiter = vertical bar (|)Repeat delimiter = backslash (\)Component delimiter = caret (^)Escape delimiter = ampersand (&)

    Record Codes The following codes are required in relation to theASTM standard:

    Header Record HPatient Record PTest Order Record OResult Record RComment Record C

    Scientific Record SManufacturer Record MRequest Information Record QFinal Record L

    Fields with NullValues

    Nulls are sent when data need not be updated. A nullvalue does not conflict with existing data in most cases.Erroneous data is the responsibility of the sender.

    Sender Nameor ID

    The Access System sends the word Access followed by aSystem ID in a component field (for example, AccessSystem1). The System ID is entered in systemconfiguration in the Laboratory Information screen.

    Receiver ID Indicates the intended message receiver. If the AccessSystem will be the receiver, the word Access is used,followed by an optional System ID. The System IDshould be designated only when there are multipleAccess Systems using the LIS, and the message isintended only for the named Access System. Themessage is rejected when Access is the Receiver ID andthe System ID component field does not match theSystem ID entered and stored in the laboratoryinformation of system configuration.

    Universal Test ID The first three components of this field are not used bythe Access System, and should be left blank by the LISas they are ignored. The fourth component is required,representing the test code, and should be the last

    component specified. Refer to the Test Codes Used bythe Access System section later in this document.

    On uploads, the Access System includes a fifthcomponent field indicating the test replicate number.If one replicate of a test is ordered, the replicate numberis 1. If two replicates of a test are ordered, the testappears in the test order record twice, with replicatenumbers of 1 and 2. Replicate numbers are ignored ontest order downloads.

    The Access System parses repeat delimiters in this fieldfor received Test Order Records. The Access System mayalso produce repeat delimiters in this field whensending Test Order Records, to list each test code foreach Result Record to follow for a specific sampleposition.

    Repeat delimiters are not parsed or produced for thisfield in the Result Record.

    S StatA As Soon as PossibleR RoutineC Callback

    P Preoperative

    Although the system accepts up to nine characters, thepriority code is the first character in the field.

    Code S (Stat) is treated as a Stat patient sample by theAccess System. Any other priority code, including nopriority code, is treated as a routine patient sample bythe Access System.

    Action Code This field indicates what will be done with thespecimens accompanying or preceding this test orderrequest received by the Access System. The followingcodes are used:

    C Cancel request for the test. The test is removedfrom any test request and from the LIS pool.

    A Add the requested test to the existingspecimen with the patient and specimenidentifiers given in this record. If the specimendoes not exist, create it.

    N New requests accompanying a new specimen.If the specimen already exists, the request isconsidered invalid and is rejected.

    20 Rev 101968P Access LIS Vendor Information  

    When tray 14 is loaded, the Access System identifies “Samp45”, “456”, and

    “34543” as samples that require tests. The Access System queries the LIS for the

    test information for each sample, starting with “Samp45.” The following is an

    example of a query for the test information for “Samp45”:

    H|\^&|||Access|||||LIS||P|1|19970901085833

    Q|1|^Samp45||ALL||||||||O

    L|1|F

    After sending this message, the Access System waits for a response. The Access

    System interprets the next message it receives as the response to its query. If the

    LIS does not have any tests pending for “Samp45”, it should reply in a form

    similar to the following:

    H|\^&|

    L|1|F

    The Access System waits one minute for a response to the query. If the LIS doesnot respond with a message in this time, the Access System assumes that no tests

    are pending for “Samp45.” It then sends the LIS a query for “456”. If the LIS

    responds to the first query, the Access System immediately sends the next

    pending query.

    The Access System continues this cycle until it has issued a query for all sample

    IDs that require test requests. If the host LIS sends a test request for a sample for

    which the Access System has already prepared (but not yet sent) a query, the

    Access System still sends the query.

    Upload Example 5

    The Access System reports results for Sample ID 661. Two replicates of TotT4 and

    two replicates of TU were requested. The FTIndex test was not explicitly ordered,

     but is generated automatically when valid TotT4 and TU results are obtained for a

    sample, regardless of the setting of the FTI Ratio option in system configuration.

    Upload Example 6

    The Access System sends rejection notification messages for Sample IDs W3 and

    W4. These Sample IDs already exist in the Access System LIS pool and therefore

    cannot be accepted as new test orders (action code N in the test order download

    Limits andPerformanceGuidelines

    The following table lists the limits for messages downloaded from the LIS to the

    Access System. To ensure good system performance, use the Good Performance

    Limits or Optimal Performance Guidelines rather than the Absolute Limits.

    • The Absolute Limit column lists system maximums. Messages

    exceeding any of these limits are not processed completely and/or

    properly. DO NOT violate these limits.

    • The Good Performance Limit column lists limitations that result in good

    system performance. These limits are generally easily met in clinical

    environments.

    • The Optimal Performance Guidelines column lists limitations that

    afford the Access System the best performance with the LIS.

    A description of each of the specifications, and an example of an optimal

    download message follow the table.
