1- Versions of ASTM Protocol
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”.
Three versions are available in the software and can be selected from the IDS-iSYS interface:
The ASTM Compatible version is the original connection protocol version, existing in the IDS-iSYS software
versions prior to V10.00.
The ASTM Compatible V2 version offers additional functionalities for the transfers to the LIS:
• transfer of the traceability associated with a result,
• transfer of messages associated with a result in a Comment block,
• transfer of quality control results (if the option is selected).
The ASTM Compatible V3 version offers, in addition to the features of ASTM Compatible V2 version:
• transfer of the operator identifiers,
• transfer of the traceability associated with a result including information about AP Substrate and
pretreatment washer,
• results are resent when a clot is detected on a sample,
• transfer ofTanner stage.
This document describes the structure and construction of ASTM messages used in each version of the
connection protocol.
IDS-iSYS Connection Protocol - Revision N1 1- Versions of ASTM Protocol 3

2- ASTM Compatible Version
2-1- General information
The ASTM protocol allows an ASTM message to be sent.

The ASTM Compatible version uses the sections defined as follows:
• The Header block: this block is the first one found in an ASTM frame, it defines the characteristics of the
messages as well as the characters separating the fields and components which will be used
• The Patient block: this block contains all the information about the patient such as his or her last name, first
name, PID, etc
• The Test Order block: this block defines a test, so it contains the data relating to a test carried out on one or
several analytes. This block is always preceded by a patient block
• The Result block: this block contains the result of one analyte and one alone. It is always preceded by a Test
Order block or by another Result block. If several results are sent through for one test, there will then be
several Result blocks following a Test Order block (typically if a test has been carried out on several analytes,
the result of each of these will be provided in one single message but in several Result blocks)
• The Request Information block: This block allows information to be requested in both directions Analyser to
LIS and vice versa. Results or information can be requested about a patient
• The Message Terminator block: This block indicates that the message is ended
The ASTM message has a hierarchical structure, each block from the lower level refers to the block from the
level immediately above, except for the comments blocks.
IDS-iSYS Connection Protocol - Revision N1 2- ASTM Compatible Version 4

2-8-2- Change to connection setup

The connection set-up for the interface can be found under SET-UP/SETTINGS/LOCAL SYSTEM:
• With RS232C selected:

2-8- Line of Communication (continued)
• With TCP/IP selected:
• Configurable options:
The sample container is set with the type sent in the field
«Container and Specimen ID» (see Order Block, page 9).
The user can modify this container type until the sample is
processed by the analyser (blue colour code).
The sample container sent by the LIS is ignored and is set

with the container type defined for the removable rack or for
the fixed tray.
• Configurable options (continued):
Active for the option «Clot Detection»

When a clot is detected in a sample, results from this
sample’s profile that have already been transferred to the
LIS will be resent (see 7- Important notes, page 67).

Results that have already been transferred to the LIS are
not resent when a clot is detected in a sample.

3- ASTM Compatible V2 Version
The ASTM Compatible V2 version uses the sections defined as follows:

name, PID, etc, and, in case of control transfer, the name of the control.
• The Manufacturer Information block: this block contains the information about the traceability of the result.
• The Comment block: this block contains comments. It can be located anywhere in the message before the
end block
The quality control results are transferred to the LIS when the option is selected (see 3-10-3- Transferring
quality control results, page 37).

7- Important notes
• 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
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.
