1 E-LAB HL7 Interface Overview

HL7 Automatic biochemistry instruments interface is E-LAB

ES-480/ES-380/ES-200 to adapt to today's rapid development of laboratory
information systems (LIS) and the development of new features, automatic
biochemistry instruments for E-LAB ES-480/ES-380/ES-200 and others are based
on IP, Serial port Network protocols provide a channel. Using TCP/IP connections
or serial port connection, LIS data server can receive from biochemical Analyzer.
Biochemical instrument in real time mode and bulk mode send samples of
patient information, information such as test results reported to the LIS Server,
Also support users by scanning bar code in real time mode and batch mode to
get the sample applications for information on the following specific description
respectively, the description of this connection in two ways. The interface data
transfer format is in accordance with HL7 version 2.3.1 to create a. This interface
supports biochemical Analyzer and LIS bi-directional transmission system.

1.1 E-LAB HL7 Interface supported message

HL7 is an electronic data interchange standards provide nursing care for

hospitalized patients. Originally it was defined by the United States, has now
been adopted by many countries. This interface is based on the HL7 v2.3.1 to
define, for details please refer to HL7 Interface Standards Version 2.3.1.

E-LAB HL7 Interface using only part of the data, so only a portion of the HL7 The
message type specified in, segment type, and other data used in the interface.

1.2 HL7The underlying protocol

TCP/IP, Serial port is Byte stream protocol, it does not provide message
boundaries. HL7 as the upper layer protocol is a message-based, but it does not
provide message termination mechanism. In order to determine message
boundaries, we use the smallest of the underlying protocol (HL7 Interface
Standards Version2.3.1. Also corresponding to this description).

Communication layer

Messages are transmitted in the following format:

 <SB> ddddd <EB><CR>

Which:

<SB> = Start Block character (1 byte)

ASCII <VT>,,<0x0B>. Don't mistake with the ASCII characters in SOH STX.

ddddd = Data (variable number of bytes)

ddddd Is HL7 News. Include only ISO 8859-1 Characters (Hexadecimal

value20-FF) <CR>, Not including the other control and nonprintable
characters.

<EB> = End Block character (1 byte)

ASCII <FS>,,<0x1C>. Don't mistake with the ASCII characters ETX EOT.

<CR> = Carriage Return (1 byte)

ASCII Carriage returns, that is, <0x0D>.

1.3 Minimal Lower Layer Protocol(MLLP)

This interface supports HL7 Minimal Lower Layer Protocol (MLLP), this interface
is a package of messages of HL7. MLLP Protocol defined by the HL7 standard
specifications, HL7 Messaging package for messages starting with the use of a
single character, ending with two-character. HL7 interface uses the HL7 standard
default characters.

Starting characters: hexadecimal <0B>

End characters: hexadecimal <1C><0D>

2 Duplex communication

Including 2 parts: transmission of test results and sample applications for access
to information. Transmission of test results the main biochemical instrument for
transmitting test data to external systems (LIS). Real-time data transmission by
means of a test transmission and bulk transfer of historical results. We provide,
in system settings, allow real time transmission but bulk transmission is not
allowed in the testing process, and other cases can do bulk transmission. Sample
application for information access refers to the biochemical analyzer from LIS
gets the required sample application information to the local for testing. Access
by means of real-time transmission (biochemical analyzer samples can only be
configured to scan system used on a sample barcode matching, get after
scanning) and fetching (request is issued to the time period of the day samples
need to be acquired).

2.1 Introduction

This chapter describes the several HL7 (Version2.3.1) messages E-LAB HL7
Interface used.

Note: HL7 Supports a number of message types, here we use only 5 types of
messages.

General syntax rules are described below.

2.2 Message syntax

This chapter will do an introduction of the universal syntax of HL7Interface.

Note:
If you need to understand complete, detailed description of the syntax of HL7
Message, refer to HL7 standard which HL7 standards committee provided.

Each HL7 message consists of some segments, segment end with <CR>.

Each segment is made up of three characters and a variable number of fields,

fields consists of component and subcomponent, MSH segment defines the cell
separator. For example:

MSH|^~\&|||E-LAB|ES-480|20181024113402||ORU^R01|1|P|2.3.1||||||UNI
CODE||

Of which:

Five characters after MSH are used to define separators to distinguish the fields,
component and subcomponent. Although these characters can be any non-text
characters, HL7 standard recommend to use characters in the following table:

Characters Significance

| Field delimiter

^ Component delimiter

& Subcomponent delimiters

~ Repeating delimiter

\ The escape character

The first field of MSH contains the separator. After MSH field, some of the fields
are empty because they are optional and E-LAB HL7 interface does not use it,
detailed description of the definition and selection of fields will be listed back.

Domain9: Contains the message type and event (ORU, R01)

Domain10: Contains a unique identifier of the message ID

Domain11: Includes processing ID (P Represents a product)

Domain12: Define messages using HL7 Version (2.3.1)

For any kind of messages, fields order has its rule after MSH field, the following
sections will describe in detail the order of using these grammatical structures to
represent the fields optional or repeating: [ ] means fields inside are optional. { }
means fields inside can be repeated 0 or 1 or more times.
2.3 SupportedHL7Messages

HL7 messages used in this interface are ORU, ACK, QRY, QCK, DSR. Diagram of
uploading the of the test results are as follows:

LIS Server sample application diagram is as follows:

Below is a detailed descriptions.

ORU/ACK: Unsolicited observations/Response

ORU^R01 Message's primary role is in HL7 Used to deliver lab results, we used to
transfer Patient sample results, calibration results and quality control results to
the LIS system.

Sample test results for patients, including the following information:

- Patients information needed by network data (patient name, sample number,

etc.)

- Information (sample type, sends doctors examining doctors, clinical diagnosis,

etc.)

- Test results
 It is a set of messages, each message matches to a sample test (test results that
may have more than one test parameters). LIS system can use the content as
needed. Concrete structures are as follows:

ORU Observational Results (Unsolicited) Description

MSH Message header

PID Patient information

OBR Observation report

{OBX} Check results

Calibration test results, including the following information:

--Test information (test number, test name)

--Rules-calibration, calibration time

--Calibration solution information (count, number, name, batch

number, expiry date, concentration, etc)

--The calibration result values (responsiveness, calibration parameters

count, the calibration parameter values)

A message will be sent to include all the calibration test results. LIS system can
use the content as needed.

Quality control test results, including the following information:

--Test information (Test number, test name)

--Quality control-related information (count, number, name, batch

number, expiry date, mean value)

-Quality control time, test result (concentration)

A message will be sent to include all quality control test results. LIS system can
use the content as needed.

Calibration, quality control result structure are as follows:

ORU Observational Results (Unsolicited) Description

complete), remaining DSR the only value field is not empty. The message has
only one field, its data type uses an integer type.
3 Communication and messaging
example

Overall, HL7 Message format: <SB> ddddd <EB><CR>

Among them, the <SB> Represents the start of a message, the corresponding
ASCII Characters for<VT>, That is, 0x0B;

<EB> Represents the end of the message, the corresponding ASCII Characters for
<FS>, That is, 0x1C;

<CR> Confirmed the end of a message, but also separator between different
message, which is 0x0D;

ddddd is the actual content which needs to be transferred, consisting of several

segments, each segment ends with <CR>, that is,

0x0D.

The following lists a range of message content in accordance with HL7 Formats.

1. Biochemical analyzer sends sample results to LIS server, in ES-480/ES-380

/ES-200, it is based on the sample unit for transmission which contains a sample
test result as a message to send. LIS Server gets that the message and makes
appropriate responses.

Among them, the ORU Message contains MSH, PID, OBR, OBX (If a sample
contains more than one tests, you will have multiple OBX Section). The MSH
message header segment, are included in any message, formatted content
example is as follows (the bracketed text in the field for interpreted languages,
not the field itself):
 MSH|^~\&| E-LAB (manufacturer name) | ES-480 (device name) | | |
20150423101830 (system time format yyyymmddhhMMss) | | ORU^R01
(message type) | 1 (message control ID, identifying the message, begins from 1
to increase along with the message, added one by one) | P (fixed value, means
product) |2.3.1 (The version number of HL7 Protocol) |||| 0 (Sample results use
0, calibration results use 1, quality control results use 2, others empty) ||
UNICODE (character set) ||

Note: all of the following examples of messages, in the time field, if 14 Digits, the
time format for the year (4 digits) month (2 digits) day (2 digits) hour (2 digits)
minutes (2 digits) seconds (2 digits); 8 Digits, the time format for the year (4
digits) month (2 digits) day (2 digits).

5. Biochemical analyzer sends batch query request to LIS Server, two types,
getting all the samples on the day and gets the latest on the day.

We use (start time ~ end time) to distinguish between the two types of requests,
as the following table:

Get method Start time End time

All day 0 o'clock the When the request
is made to the
system time
On the latest The end of the last query When the request
time is made to the
system time

For example: on 2007, 3, 20, 5:00PM, make a batch query request and want all
the samples on the day. Request message is:

Same as getting single sample under the bar code, LIS Servers will give response
that whether there is sample matches query conditions. If there is an answer,
after sending query answer, LIS Server will send all samples meet the conditions.
Each sample information uses a DSR message, and in final DSR message DSC is
empty means end of the bulk sample. It is assumed that the LIS Server finds 3
samples, details are as follows:

Each time after biochemical analyzer receiving a DSR Message, it will reply an
ACK Message. Three ACK messages related to the above three messages are as
follows:
