How to communication between Erba ECL 760 and LIS

Erba Lachema instrument can use network cable communicate with PC server. The LIS
communication protocol is “HL7”. The full name is Health Level 7. It is a world standard and
public.
HL7 can realize double-way communication. Instrument can send the test results. Also the
instrument can get the sample test information from LIS.
Message format:

<SB> ddddd <EB><CR>

SB=11 (ASCII<VT>)
EB=28 (ASCII<FS>)
CR=13 (ASCII enter code)
ddddd is HL7 message

1. Instrument test result sends to server.

To really this function is easy; most of clients just need this effect.
After activation of the LIS function, you may need transmission samples result, QC result
and calibration result.
Communicating modality

ORU^R01

ECL 760 LIS service

ACK^R01

1.1 Transfer sample

a) send instantly

After setting “ ”, running the instrument, test result will be send instantly.

b) Single sample send.

Enter the Report interface of ECL 760, selecting a sample, and then click the button

“ ”.
 c) Period sample results sending.

d) Patient data format of sending

E.g. this is the sample number 4 send to server computer.

 This server is a simulator.
In really this server is a
subroutine of LIS software.

1.2 Transfer QC result

a) QC result sending
Enter the QC interface, select an item, click “QC Graph” and then you can see the send
button.

b) QC data format sending

1.3 Transfer calibration curve and result

a) Send calibration result
 Into the calibration interface, select an item, and then click button “send”.

b) Calibration data format

MSH|^~\\&|analyzer||hospital|instrument name|date||ORU^R01|MSH index|P|2.3.1||||1||ASCII|||

For example:

Attention: Yellow numbers above at the end of the results was LN method calculated results. The
results on the right side of curve are log-log-liner method calculated results. That is to say, it
transfers just the points of curve.

b) Select a rack position, input（by manual or by barcode reader）Sample ID 001188, and then
click button “LIS”. The sample of information will be send to instrument and show.

c) How ECL 760 read sample information from LIS

i. QRY^Q02

After received query message, LIS server will repay “QCK^Q02” message for answer.

If find the sample NO. Repay message format are as bellow:
