cobas IT 1000 application Interface Description

1.

Overview & Scope

This document describes the host interface for the cobas IT 1000 application. The messages
described are to be considered an outline, as the default configuration and mapping may be
adapted to a specific installation to consider a specific protocol implementation used by customer
systems.
Note: The host interface does not support secure data transmission. When using host
communication, it has to be ensured by the infrastructure of the customer that data in transport is
protected appropriately. It is the customer's responsibility that access to the network is restricted
only to authorized entities and/or the communication protocol is secured. This can be achieved by
using application level tunnelling protocols like TLS or other means of network encryption.

2.

HL7 TCP/IP Low Level Interface

The host (HIS and/or LIS) and cobas IT 1000 application computers will communicate using two
TCP/IP sockets. For ADT Messages, the cobas IT 1000 application will open a listening port (server
mode) to which the external host computer will connect to (client mode). The Results Message
socket is opened in the Connect (Client) mode. The host computer must have the results socket
opened in the Listen (Server) mode. If the cobas IT 1000 application server cannot connect, it will
try to reopen the socket periodically.
The packet of information is formatted as follows:
VT {HL7 Message} FS CR
Where:
VT

ASCII character 0x0B

{HL7 Message}

The actual HL7 message with ending CR

FS

ASCII character 0x1C

CR

Carriage Return, ASCII character 0x0D

There is no checksum or other method to determine the packet integrity other than the one
provided by the TCP/IP layer.

3.

ASTM TCP/IP Interface

The host (LIS) and cobas IT 1000 application computers will communicate using one TCP/IP
socket. Typically the Results Message socket is opened in the Connect (Client) mode. The host
computer then must have the results socket opened in the Listen (Server) mode. If the
cobas IT 1000 application server cannot connect, it will try to reopen the socket periodically.

HL7 Message Acknowledgment

This message is sent to the transmitting computer from the receiving computer upon receipt of a
message. The receiving computer can accept or reject the message.

4.1

Acknowledgment Sending

The cobas IT 1000 application at this stage sends a positive acknowledgment message for every
received message received. Nevertheless, the acceptance of the message by cobas IT 1000 does
not declare that the message can be processed.

Acknowledgment Reception

The respective MSH segments (Accept Acknowledge and Application Acknowledge) of a result
message sent from the cobas IT 1000 application to the host indicate what type of
acknowledgment is required from the application receiving results. In the default configuration the
cobas IT 1000 application does not expect an accept acknowledgment (Accept Acknowledge =
NE) but requires an acknowledgment after successful processing of the message by the receiving
application (Application Acknowledge = SU). Only finally accepted messages (Acknowledgement
Code = AA and Delayed Acknowledgment Type = F or empty) are regarded as accepted. The
cobas IT 1000 application is resending a result message unless it is finally accepted.

HL7 Patient Result Interface (Variant A)

When all test results of a sample have been accepted, the Host Connectivity Agent (HCA) will
generate an HL7 message and transmit the message to the Host system. Result messages
transmitted include patient results, patient demographics and comments.
The cobas IT 1000 application works exclusively with unsolicited result sending.

HL7 Patient Result Interface (Variant B)

When all test results of a sample have been accepted, the Host Connectivity Agent (HCA) will
generate an HL7 message and transmit the message to the Host system. The cobas IT 1000
application works exclusively with unsolicited result sending.
For version 2.00.01 and higher, it is possible to send alarms as result comments to the host(s) in the
message NTE segment (please refer to section 6.9 NTE Segment for more details).

HL7 ADT Interface

The ADT (Admit, Transfer, Discharge) Interface is responsible for updating the patients in the
cobas IT 1000 application. Patients discharged from the system are deleted if there is no result
data. The interface follows the HL7 2.3 specification and can receive all the ADT message types
defined. This section describes the message types that are processed, all other types are ignored.
Additional fields not described in the ADT messages are ignored and will not cause a problem if
sent to the cobas IT 1000 application. In the default configuration concurrent visits/account
numbers are not supported. Alternate configurations enabling the support of concurrent
visits/accounts or alternate leading IDs may influence the types of supported ADT events.
Patient information maintained in the cobas IT 1000 application are maintained and updated in
relation to the selected primary patient identifier. To ensure correct behaviour, this primary patient
identifier needs to be chosen with respect to the institutions' information infrastructure and prior to
making changes to it, their effect on connected systems alike the cobas IT 1000 application needs
to be taken into consideration. Patient information provided by the cobas IT 1000 application to
other systems (e.g. connected instruments or result receiving host systems) as well as patient
information based functionality (e.g. range checking) use the information available at the time of
sending/processing. Later updates to this patient information as such do not trigger the alteration of
information already provided or the reprocessing of result information.
The ADT messages are processed in alphabetical order. For instance, if the following files exist in
the folder from where the ADT files are read,
A03.hl7
A010.hl7
QMG.hl7
A0100.hl7
A0109.hl7
A01000.hl7
A011.hl7
the files will be processed in the following order:
1. A010.hl7
2. A0100.hl7
3. A01000.hl7
4. A0109.hl7
5. A011.hl7

ASTM QC Results Interface (Variant A)

When all test results of a sample have been accepted, the Host Connectivity Agent (HCA) will
generate an ASTM message and transmit the message to the Host system. The
cobas IT 1000 application works exclusively with unsolicited result sending.

Limitations

In the current version the cobas IT 1000 application does not support a concept of
concurrent visits where a patient is identified for testing by a permanent ID (not a visit ID).

HL7 result interfaces work only in asynchronous mode.

Acknowledgment sending: The cobas IT 1000 application acknowledges every received


message positively, also when the message cannot be processed.

Acknowledgment reception: The cobas IT 1000 application does not parse the ERR
segment, hence information sent there will not be available to the user.

When a message cannot be processed on a parsing level, no acknowledgment message is


sent to the host. In case of a synchronous workflow this will result in a stop of ADT message
reception as the host will always resend the same message.

The ASTM protocol does not support Thai characters in combination with checksums
