2 Introduction

The purpose of this document is to describe the host interface specifications of the cobas u 411 analyzer. These specifications define the hardware and software settings and the data interchange via null modem cable (RS-232) between the cobas u 411 and the host system.

2.1 Overview cobas u 411 analyzer

The cobas u 411 analyzer is a semiautomatic urinalysis system intended for in vitro qualitative or semi-quantitative determination of urine analytes, including specific gravity (SG), pH, leukocytes, nitrite, protein, glucose, ketones, urobilinogen, bilirubin, erythrocytes and color.

2.2 Supported host protocols

The cobas u 411 analyzer supports the following host protocols: • ASTM plus • ASTM Urisys 2400

2.3 Sample ID length

The cobas u 411 analyzer supports a sample ID with a maximum length of 13 characters.

2.4 Flags

The result data which is transmitted to the host system (or printed) must be checked for flags. There can be different flags, which are sent in a Comment Record additionally to the Result Record or in the Result Record itself, using the ASTM plus or ASTM Urisys 2400 protocols. On the printout, the flags are next to the data. The meaning of the flags is listed below. Attention: Flags are in order to bring some of the values to attention of the operator. Therefore

it is important that these flags are displayed on the host system. If these flags are not displayed, this could mislead the operator to wrong conclusions and medical decisions!

Result flags Flag Result flags Explanation S Sieve Test parameter result corresponds to sieve criteria settings * Abnormal For patient sample test parameter result corresponds to

abnormal criteria settings # Changed reflectance

Transmitted Data The cobas u 411 analyzer always initiates the communication to the host system. Hence, the cobas u 411 analyzer is the master and the host system the slave.

2.5 Upload (cobas u 411 to host system)

Depending on the selected host protocol, different data is sent to the host system. The tables below give an overview about the different protocols and their transmitted data.

2.7 Download data (host system to cobas u 411)

The data download from the host system to the analyzer is performed on the cobas u 411 by clicking the <Download> button. The following data can be transmitted from the host system to the cobas u 411: Worklist (list of sample ID’s) Note: The Urisys 2400 protocol does not support this mode.

3 Host interface configuration

The communication between the cobas u 411 analyzer and the host system is established using a serial asynchronous interface cable. The communication settings must be equal on both sides (cobas u 411 and host system), see chapter 3.1 below.

3.1 Communication settings

The host settings on the cobas u 411 analyzer are set to OFF by default. To establish the host communication, the host settings must be set to ON. Changes in the cobas u 411 analyzer communication parameters are only possible if the host settings are set to OFF. To configure the host settings and to enable the host communication, go to the configuration menu: Utilities > System Parameters > Host Comm. The following host communication settings are configurable in the cobas u 411 analyzer user interface. Configuration Specification Default

Baud rate 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 9600

Data bits 7, 8 8

Stop bits 1, 2 1

Flow control None, Xon-Xoff, RTS-CTS None

Parity None, odd, even None

3.2 Host interface behaviour

The host interface behaviour can be influenced by the following configuration setup (user interface): Item Specification Default

Host ON, OFF OFF

Protocol ASTM plus, ASTM Urisys 2400 ASTM plus

Raw data to host OFF, ON, upload only (setup in service) OFF

Checksum On, Off On

The automatic result transmission is active when the host support is switched to ON.

cobas u 411 Host Interface Manual V 2.1 11 / 52

3.3 Serial cable

The cobas u 411 uses a serial asynchronous interface cable (RS 232) connected to the host computer. The port COM 2 of the host system is usually allocated to this communication, but can vary depending on the host system. According to the serial asynchronous specification, the maximum cable length is 15 m. It is recommended by Roche to use a 3 meter cable. All other cable length apart from the recommended must be organized locally. The following cable is assigned to use for connecting the cobas u 411 to the host system:

• Host Interface Cable RS 232, IBM PC Null modem D-Sub 9 pins, 3m

Please see table below for wiring details:

Note: If flow control is set to “None” or “Xon-Xoff” then the pin 4/6 and pin 7/8 (handshake connections) are not required.

4 Error handling (behaviour of a failed transmission)

There are two different types of error handling: • Host system does not acknowledge the transmission:

An alarm message (red alarm LED is activated) will occur if the transmission of data is not confirmed by the host system. The failed transmission will not be repeated.

• Host receives wrong data:

In case the host system has received wrong data (e.g. wrong checksum), the incorrect sequence will be repeated. After three failed attempts, the transmission will be aborted and an alarm message will be displayed (red alarm LED is activated).

5 Description of the supported protocols

5.1 ASTM plus protocol

5.1.1 General

This chapter describes the ASTM plus protocol. The ASTM plus protocol consists of Records, Frames and Messages.

• A record is the smallest logical group of information • A frame is a defined data structure that contains a data block to be transmitted • Messages are a collection of several records packed in frames into a logical unit

Note: The ASTM plus protocol is based on the ASTM protocol specification.

Records A record is the smallest logical group of information. The ASTM plus protocol supports the following records: Identification Name Description H Header record First record in every message, mandatory P Patient information

record This record is used to download patient demographics from the host system to the analyzer. With the cobas u 411 no patient data can be handled. Therefore the patient record is always empty.

O Order record This record defines the attributes of a particular order R Result record Measurement data C Comment record This record is used for the transmission of sample flags

and result flags. M Manufacturer record This record is used for the transmission of raw data,

additional information for patient and control results Q Request information

record (query) Worklist request (query)

L Termination record Last record in every message, mandatory

Frames A frame is a defined data structure that encapsulates a data block to be transmitted. According to the ASTM plus protocol specification, a frame may contain one or more records. However, the implementation in the cobas u 411 analyzer contains one record only. Each frame has the following structure: Description Start of

text Frame No.

End of text

Check-sum

Carriage return

Line feed

ASCII (hex)

STX (0x02)

Protocol specific record data

ETX (0x03)

CR (0x0D)

LF (0x0A)

The frame no. always starts at 1 and will be incremented by one for each record. If the frame reaches no. 7, the numbering starts at 0 (zero).

Page 13: Host Interface Manual - u411.pdf

cobas u 411 Host

cobas u 411 Host Interface Manual V 2.1 13 / 52

Messages Messages are collections of several records packed in frames into a logical unit. A message starts with the Header Record (H) and finishes with the Termination Record (L).

5.1.2 Communication startup

Only the cobas u 411 analyzer can start a communication. The cobas u 411 analyzer is always the master, the host system the slave. Exception: After the successful handling of the worklist request sequence, the master function

temporarily belongs to the host system for the duration of the worklist transmission.

A communication is initialized when the ASCII character ENQ (Hex 05) is sent to the host system. The host system (slave) acknowledges its readiness to communicate by sending the ASCII character ACK (Hex 06) or if it is not ready the ASCII character NAK (Hex 15). If the host system has positively acknowledged its readiness to communicate (ACK), the cobas u 411 analyzer transmits the message frame by frame. The host system confirms the frame reception with ACK. The host system can trigger a resending of the last sent frame with NAK. The communication session is terminated with the ASCII character EOT (Hex 04).

5.2 ASTM Urisys 2400 protocol

5.2.1 General

This chapter describes the ASTM URISYS 2400 protocol. This protocol consists of Records, Frames and Messages.

• A Record is the smallest logical group of information • A Frame is a defined data structure that contains a data block to be transmitted • Messages are a collection of several records packed in frames into a logical unit

Note: The ASTM Urisys 2400 protocol is based on the ASTM protocol specification.

Records A record is the smallest logical group of information. The ASTM Urisys 2400 protocol supports the following records: Identifier Name Description H Header record First record in every message, mandatory P Patient information

record This record is used to download patient demographics from the host system to the analyzer. With the cobas u 411 analyzer no patient data can be handled. Therefore the patient record is always empty.

O Order record This record defines the attributes of a particular order. R Result record Measurement data C Comment record This record is used for the transmission of sample flags

and result flags. M Manufacturer record This record is used for the transmission of raw data,

additional information for patient, control results. Q Request information

record Worklist request (query). Not supported. Does not exist in ASTM URISYS 2400 protocol.

L Termination record Last record in every message, mandatory

Frames A frame is a defined data structure that encapsulates a data block to be transmitted. According to the ASTM Urisys 2400 protocol specification, a frame may contain one or more records. However, the implementation in the cobas u 411 analyzer contains one record only. Each frame has the following structure: Description Start of

text Frame No.

End of text

Check-sum

Carriage return

Line feed

ASCII (hex)

STX (0x02)

Protocol specific record data

ETX (0x03)

CR (0x0D)

LF (0x0A)

The frame no. always starts at 1 and will be incremented by one for each record. If the frame reaches no. 7, the numbering starts at 0 (zero).

Page 36: Host Interface Manual - u411.pdf

cobas u 411 Host Interface Manual V 2.1 36 / 52

Usually, the ASTM protocol contains one record only per frame: [STX] + Frame no. + Information (record) + [ETX] + Checksum + [CR] + [LF] The ASTM Urisys 2400 protocol is a special implementation of ASTM. All records will be packed in one frame. According to ASTM standard the total length of the data in one frame (message) is 247 bytes (including frame overhead). Messages longer than 240 bytes are divided into several frames, called sub-frame. Such a sub-frame is terminated with an [ETB] character: [STX] + Frame no. + Information 1 + [ETB] + Checksum + [CR] + [LF] [STX] + Frame no. + Information 2 + [ETX] + Checksum + [CR] + [LF] (Msg-end, therefore [ETX]) Example: u411 10:46:36,385 [ENQ] Host 10:46:36,385 [ACK] Information 1 u411 10:46:36,682 [STX]1H|\^&|||8|||||||P|3.2.0.1001[CR]P|1[CR]O| 1|001|1^^^service^SAMPLE||R||||||X|||2011031510 1754[CR]R|1|^^^1|1.005|||||[CR]C|1|I||I[CR]R|2| ^^^2|7|||||[CR]C|2|I||I[CR]R|3|^^^3|NEG|||||[CR ]C|3|I||I[CR]R|4|^^^4|NEG|||||[CR]C|4|I||I[CR]R |5|^^^5|NEG|||||[CR]C|5|I||I[CR]R|6|^^^6|NEG|||

Messages Messages are collections of several records packed in frames into a logical unit. A message starts with a Header Record (H) and ends with the Termination Record (L).

5.2.2 Communication structure

Only the cobas u 411 analyzer can start a communication. The cobas u 411 analyzer is always the master, the host system the slave.

A communication is initialized when the ASCII character ENQ (Hex 05) is sent to the host system. The host system (slave) acknowledges its readiness to communicate by sending the ASCII character ACK (Hex 06) or if it is not ready the ASCII character NAK (Hex 15). If the host system has positively acknowledged its readiness to communicate (ACK), the cobas u 411 analyzer transmits the message frame by frame. The host system confirms the frame reception with ACK. The host system can trigger a resending of the last sent frame with NAK. The communication session is terminated with the ASCII character EOT (Hex 04).

5.2.3 Record descriptions

In this chapter, the meaning of the fields in individual records will be explained in the form of tables. Fields which are not supported by the cobas u 411 analyzer are highlighted in grey. For a better comprehension, there is a detailed example for each record description following the table. Example trace files of different data interchanges are added at the end of this protocol description.

Message header record Each message starts with the Message Header Record. This record is mandatory. No. Field Content Comment 1 Record type ID H The character H identifies the record as a

message header record. Field Delimiter | Repeat Delimiter \ Component Delimiter ^

Result record The cobas u 411 analyzer uses the Result Record to transmit the measurement data. Each test needs a separate Result Record. Flags related to test strip error, e.g. strip upside down, are sent in this Result Record in no. 7 and no. 9. Flags related to results are sent in the Comment Record and must be observed.

No. Field Content Comment 1 Record type ID R The character R identifies the record as a

result record. 2 Sequence no. 1 – 12 The cobas u 411 analyzer always saves 12

results (color and clarity included) 3 Universal test ID ^

^ ^test no.

Test no list (fixation): 1: SG 2: pH 3: LEU 4: NIT 5: PRO 6: GLU 7: KET 8: UBG 9: BIL 10: ERY 11: COL 12: CLA

4 Data or measurement value

result value Result value: Numerical value (e.g. 1.030) or alphanumerical value (e.g. „neg.”) Important: To be compatible with the original URISYS 2400 analyzer, the following conversions are done in the driver: pos POS pos. POS neg NEG neg. NEG norm NORM norm. NORM

5 Unit unit Alphanumerical value (e.g. “mg/dL”), only if result can be represented by several units Important: All “l” letters, which stand for “liter”, are converted to capital letters (e. g. ml mL) and ’µ’ character is translated to a ‘u’ character.

6 Reference ranges Not used in cobas u 411 analyzer 7 Result abnorm. flag Flag “R”: Test Strip Error 8 Nature of

abnormality testing Not used in cobas u 411 analyzer

9 Result status Flag “X”: Order cannot be done. Usually, in combination with result abnormal flag (R)

Comment record Every Result Record has a Comment Record attached. The cobas u 411 analyzer uses the Comment Record to transmit the sample flags and result flags. In case of no flag, an empty Comment Record is transmitted. No. Field Content Comment

1 Record type ID C The character C identifies the record as a comment record.

2 Sequence no. 1 The cobas u 411 analyzer uses the same sequence number as the prior result record.

3 Comment source I Always I (clinical instrument system) 4 Comment text Sample result flags The cobas u 411 analyzer uses the

comment record only for transmitting flags, each flag is separated with the ^ delimiter.

5 Comment type I Always I (instrument flag(s) comment) Attention: Flags are in order to bring some of the values to attention of the operator. Therefore

it is important that these flags are displayed on the host system. If these flags are not displayed, this could mislead the operator to wrong conclusions and medical decisions! Read the chapter “2.4 Flags” for detailed information!
