2. Inclusions
The changes included in SW V4.2.1 are listed in comparison to V4.2.0.2. DiaSorin released
additional Hot Fixes for V4.2.0.2, namely
- LXL_HotFix_201
This Hot Fix has been included in V4.2.1, and it is not reported here as previously
documented and notified separately.
3. Compatibility
3.1. Systems
The LIAISON® XL software V4.2.1 is compatible with all LIAISON® XL, LIAISON® XL LAS and
LIAISON® XL PMA systems. For the sake of brevity, the system may be referred to as
LIAISON® XL.
Update (V4.2.1)
In V4.2.1, the user is provided with an option to force the system to ignore kits for which the
15’ countdown was not elapsed yet.
The kits for which the 15’ countdown was not elapsed yet are not reported:
in the Status Inventory page.
to the LAS system within the Inventory message
As a result the system will not schedule any test on those integrals, until the countdown
reaches the end.
A dedicated message (see User Manual Event ID: ”262.004.00005”) is used to inform the
user in case the system is not able to start a test due to this option.
Important notes
! The new functionality is not intended to replace the needed instructions that shall be
followed as detailed in the assay Instructions For Use.
Update (V4.2.1)
In V4.2.1, system is removing from the Inventory page those integrals, which were set
offline due to no/not enough liquid detection.
The same integrals are no longer communicated as available to the LAS system within the
Inventory message.
Important notes
! As per explanation provided for Event ID “265.000.00045” and “265.003.00017” (see User
Manual), when an integrals is set offline it shall be checked to ensure the proper integral
conditions. The “Reset LLD” function provided in the Diagnostics page can be used to
reset offline conditions due to no/not enough liquid.
Update (V4.2.1)
With SW V4.2.1 the LAS system can make use of a new dedicated command to trigger the
resume of the LIAISON XL from remote.
If LIAISON XL is in a suitable status for executing the resume (i.e. Stand By), it will positively
answer to the received command and start the resume process.
The LAS system can get feedback that the resume successfully completed by polling the
LAISON XL system for receiving its current status.
Important notes
! Due to the LAS protocol architecture, the new feature has no impact on any current LAS
Interface/System.
Update (V4.2.1)
In V4.2.1, the FSE can configure a secondary path (that can be a network path), where the
system saves and keeps updated a file with the same contents of the FinishedJobs.txt. This
copy is also named FinishedJobs.txt.
The system will not automatically remove the copy of the FinishedJobs.txt file.
Configuration
This option shall be configured by DiaSorin representatives.
Important notes
! .The LIAISON XL shall be always granted of Read/Write access to the secondary path/file
when a new result is obtained or a dose is calculated.
The FinishedJobs.txt file only reports those results that are accompanied by an actual RLU
measurement (i.e. in case more than one replicate is calculated, only the single replicates are
reported and only the single son results are reported for combi tests).
Update (V4.2.1)
SW V4.2.1 installs the new control rack file (T.rac) that is compatible with the sample bay
cover.
The new T.rac is described in chapter §4.2.5 of the User Manual.
The new Ancillary rack is described in chapter §4.2.6 of the User Manual.
Important notes
! Analyzers provided with the sample bay top cover do not support “C” and “D” racks. In case
“C” and “D” racks are loaded on such analyzers will not be recognized and used.
Update (V4.2.1)
Software V4.2.1 includes a version of User Manual and Quick Guide updated to the latest
features, as well as the translation of the User Software itself in the following languages:
Notes:
(1) Distributed separately from the LIAISON XL Software
(2) Uses the English version
(3) Same as English USA
Language specific errors have been corrected in the Export/Printouts and User Interface
elements.
The virus definition has been updated.
A new cumulative security patch for Windows 10 based systems is applied. A new setting for
Windows Vista based systems is applied to improve cybersecurity.
Update (V4.2.1)
V4.2.1 addresses the identified improvement areas to introduce related countermeasures.
The Export file, generated form the Results –> Controls page now features all the
expected columns.
Update (V4.2.1)
The Washer Aspiration Pump (WAP) is activated while the washer needles dive into the
cuvette. The total aspiration time is increased to accomplish the task.
The bubble sensor thresholds for washer channels have been modified to accomplish the
Washer Aspiration from Top process.
Update (V4.2.1)
SW V4.2.1 provides the new control rack file (T.rac) and a new “BottleTypes.txt” file that are
compatible with the sample bay cover.
In parallel SW V4.2.1 removes the previous “C” and “D” rack files.
In case the FSE performs the installation of SW V4.2.1 on a system not yet provided with the
sample bay cover, the “C” and “D” rack files shall be manually restored by following the
dedicated steps as reported in the Installation Procedure.
Important notes
! The Teacher Software has been modified as well to allow the teaching of Z Max without
removing the sample bay cover. In particular, the teaching positions have been shifted in
order to fit the holes of the cover and a part of the sample bay floor free from rack guides.
New teaching positions corresponds to Lane #1, positions #1 and #12, Lane #12 position
#10.
The sample bay cover will be installed on future systems (release date not yet defined when
issuing the present document), to accomplish new requirements of standard EN 61010-
1:2010 (Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and
laboratory use. General requirements). It is not intended for analyzers already on the market.
Update (V4.2.1)
In V4.2.1, the FSE can configure a secondary path (that can be a network path), where the
system saves and keeps updated a file with the same contents of the FinishedJobs.txt. This
copy is also named FinishedJobs.txt.
The system will not automatically remove the copy of the FinishedJobs.txt file.
Configuration
On the user network a network-folder shall be made R/W accessible to the LIAISON XL PC.
On the LIAISON XL PC such folder shall be mapped among the network folders (e.g.
K:\MyFolder\).
On the Liaison XL PC the configuration file L2Main.config, present in the folder
D:\LiaisonXL\bin, shall be set as follows:
the occurrence of <add key="FinishedJobsFileSecondPath" value="" /> shall be changed
adding the path of the network-shared folder (e.g. <add key="FinishedJobsFileSecondPath"
value="K:\MyFolder\" />)
Important notes
! . The LIAISON XL shall be always granted R/W access to the secondary path/file when a new
result is obtained or a dose is calculated.
The FinishedJobs.txt only reports those results that are accompanied by an actual RLU
measurement (i.e. in case more than one replicate is calculated only the single replicates are
reported and only the single son results are reported for combi tests).
Update (V4.2.1)
The SSW provided within SW V4.2.1 now shows the correct description, i.e. “Difference to
ambient pressure”. The value displayed is calculated in the same way as previous version.
Update (V4.2.1)
Using the buttons reported in the screenshot below it is possible to start/stop the WAP in the
Reagent Area tab. This can be conveniently used to check removal of condensed water.
