Introduction

1 Introduction
This document describes the Communication Specifications of
the enhanced Sysmex Universal Interface SUITplus.

SUITplus is only available with the Extended IPU solution.

This protocol is oriented on ASTM standards E1238-94 and


E1381-91. However, improvements were made which are not
conforming to ASTM standards.

3 Note:
SUITplus supports a 1-Line or a 2-Line connection to LIS.
When using a 1-Line connection the orders, results and
queries will be done on the same channel.
When using a 2-Line connection the orders and queries
will be done at one channel, the results will be sent at the
other channel. Generally a 2-Line connection is preferred.
When doing queries to LIS a 2-Line connection it is even
mandatory.

The connection to LIS has to be established by using a


network connection (TCP/IP). Connection parameters
have to be agreed between the Sysmex deployment staff
and LIS company where Extended IPU will be connected.

2 SUIT Interface

2.1 Data Link Level


Data Link Level consists of the following 3 types of
communication status:
 Setting Status:
Establish a logical communication and determine the
sending direction of information. This defines the Sending
and Receiving sides.
 Forwarding Status:
The Sending side transmits messages to the Receiving
side.
 End Status:
Open the communication line(s) and change to idle status
for both the Sending and Receiving side.

2.1.1 Setting Status

Establish a logical communication line to determine the


sending direction of information.

1. The Sending side transmits [ENQ] to the Receiving side.


In its response, the Receiving side:
– Returns [ACK] if the transmission is available.
– Returns [NAK] if the transmission is unavailable.
The Sending side must wait 10 seconds before 
re-sending [ENQ].

Sending side Receiving Sending side Receiving


side side
1. [ENQ] 1. [ENQ]

[NAK] 2. [NAK] 2.
3.
10 sec.

4. [ENQ]
June 2014 - Version 4.0

8 SUITplus interface description


SUIT Interface

2. When both sides send [ENQ] ([ENQ] clash), the Slave


Computer side has priority over the Host Computer.
– The Slave Computer re-sends [ENQ] 1 second later.
– The Host Computer must wait 20 seconds before re-
sending.

HOST SUIT HOST SUIT


[ENQ] 1. 1. [ENQ]

2. [ENQ] [ENQ] 2.

[ENQ] 3. (1Sec.) Within 20 Sec.



3. [ENQ]

3 Note:
LIS should act as slave. A change of these roles has to be
agreed between the deployment staff of Sysmex and LIS.

When SUITplus gets 10 times no answer from host when


doing an "ENQ", SUITplus will close the connection and
establishes a new connection. Be prepared that your driver
accepts this new connection even if the old connection has the
status established at your site.

Keep Alive management:


In order to avoid problems with firewalls when the
communication is idling for 10 minutes SUITplus will send an
"ENQ", wait for your response and close the line by sending an
"EOT".

S: [ENQ]
R: [ACK]
S: [EOT]

SUIT Interface

2.1.2 Forwarding Status

The Sending side transmits a message to the Receiving side.


The following is an example of the text frame structure:
[STX] [F#] [ TEXT ] [ETX] [CHK1] [CHK2] [CR] [LF]

Symbol Code Description


[STX] Indicates the beginning Code to be sent at the beginning of a frame.
of the text Send.
[F#] Frame Number Frame Number is “0” to “7” of ASCII numbers. Its
purpose is to distinguish between sent frame and re-
send frames. This 1-digit number is sent immediately
after STX characters. The Frame Number begins with
“1” when the Forwarding Status starts, and increases
sequentially, every time a new frame is sent and a
positive reply is received.
The Frame Number returns to “0” after “7”, and the
above steps are repeated.
[TEXT] Message Text Employ ASTM E1394-91 Record.
(Refer to explanation of Refer to the "Message Format" in the later section for
ASTM E1238-94) details.

2nd and last within a frame.
[LF] ASCII Code for line LF Code is used for the last character of a frame. LF
changes. cannot be used for Text messages.

2.1.3 End Status


The Sending side sends [EOT] to indicate that all information
has been transmitted to the Receiving side, and turns to the
Idling Status.
Or the Receiving side sends [EOT] when the time out occurs,
and turns to the Idling status. In order for the Sending Side to
start transfer again, turns to the Setting Status.
June 2014 - Version 4.0

10 SUITplus interface description


SUIT Interface

2.1.4 Timeouts

1. In Setting Status, the Sending side sets a 15-second timer


when sending [ENQ]. If there is no response within the 15
seconds, Timeout is applied. The Sending side turns to an
End Status when Timeout occurs.

2. In Forwarding Status, the Sending side sets a 15 seconds


timer after sending the last character of a frame.
If there is no response within the 15 seconds, Timeout is
applied. The Sending side turns to End Status once the
Timeout occurs.
The Receiving side sets the timer for 30 seconds when it
first turns to the Receiving Status or responding to a frame.
If there is no response within 30 seconds, Timeout is
applied. The Receiving side turns to the End Status when
the Timeout occurs.

2.1.5 Restricted message codes

Please find below 10 Transmission Restricted Message


Codes. These (1 type of Format Restriction Code and 4 types
of Instrument Restricted Codes) cannot be used for message
Text.
Restricted Message Codes:
Code Symbol Meaning
SOH (01) Beginning of Header
STX (02) Beginning of Text Sending
ETX (03) End of Text Sending
EOT (04) End of Sending

2.2 Protocol

2.2.1 Orders
SUITplus supports two modes for getting the order by LIS:
1. LIS send the order automatically to Extended IPU when its
registered in LIS
2. LIS send the order to Extended IPU after a query was done
LIS has to support both modes and switching between these
modes has to be possible. This flexibility is needed because
the use of the modes depends on the analyzer the customer
uses and can be changed by modifying the configuration in the
laboratory.
When sending the orders to Extended IPU you can either send
the codes for each parameter to Extended IPU or the codes for
profiles. Refer to chapter Appendix C: Host codes, page 38 to
implement the same codes at your site.
When sending orders for body fluids to Extended IPU it is
mandatory to fill the field collection source (OBR-16,
subfield 2).
Refer to table "Table Codes for Body Fluids" for using the
correct collection source code.
A log file example is currently under construction.
One sample number cannot include orders for different
sections like haematology, coagulation or urine analysis.
Each section needs its own order and its unique sample
number
The logic order of records for sending orders to Extended IPU
is like this. This structure is independent if we operate in query-
mode or download-mode

4.2.5 Quality Control log files

There are two methods to send a quality control results from


the analyzer to the host.
Method 1:
One method is that the user is sending the quality control out
of the IPU’s sample explorer. In this case the sample will get
the lot number of the actual QC as sample number.
E.g.: QC-51470801
For each parameter the analyzer-id and the measurement-
mode is transmitted, too.

Method 2:
Another method consists that the user will send the quality by
using the QC-Charts of the analyzer. In this case the file
number of the charts will be used as sample number.
E.g.: 11 for the file no. 11

4.4 Appendix D: Interpretation-Flags (IP Flags)


If there is a work area-manager connected to LIS all flags can
be customized and will not follow this table!
If a single analyzer is directly connected to LIS, these flags will
be in use. The UF-1000i/UF500i is also able to transmit up to
8 customizable additional flags.

4.5 Appendix E: Additional information for LIS

4.5.1 Info about a microscopically differential

SMEAR Info about a needed smear in addition to DIFF-Count


of the analyser

When this parameter with the result "DIFF" is sent to LIS,


Sysmex-Rules triggered an additional smear for unreliable
results. In this case we inform you that a microscopically
differential will follow and that the me-chanical differential will
not sent to LIS because it is unreliable. The parameters
BASO#, BASO%, LYMP#, LYMPH%, MONO#, MONO%,
EO#, EO%, NEUT#, NEUT%,IG' and IG% will not sent to LIS.

Please do the respective steps in your LIS to cancel those


tests internally and add the microscopically differential in your
LIS.

7. SUITplus communication robustness improvements


There are situations where a network connection kept the
status established but it is lost.
 Firewall closed a connections after a certain time of idling
 Software / Computer crashed
 Switch was off / broken
 When getting 10 x no answer for an ENQ, then we will
close the connection and establish a new one
 When the online is 10 minutes idling then we have a keep
alive feature at the application layer.

See below an example:

R: [ACK]
