Transmission Status
The system displays the status of the transmission on the test result screen
when communications are enabled, so that you know whether the LIS has
received the transmission.
The transmission status can be one of the following:
• Not Sent: The message has not been transmitted to the LIS.
• Sending: Transmission is in process, but the system has not received
acknowledgement from the LIS. The connection might have gone down
either during or after the attempted transmission, and the connection has
not been restored.
For the Ethernet ASTM protocol, the system tries again to transmit the
results if the connection is restored within 72 hours of the most recent
successful transmission. For the POCT1-A protocol, no time limit exists for
retries.
• Received: The message was sent to the LIS, and the LIS has
acknowledged receipt of the message.
• Failed: The LIS did not receive the message, or the LIS did not
acknowledge the receipt of the message.
• For a serial connection using the ASTM protocol, the test result has
failed to be received by the LIS on the first attempt to transmit.
• For an Ethernet connection using the ASTM protocol, 72 hours have
passed since the most recent manual-send or auto-send after a good
connection went down, and the test result has failed to be received by
the LIS on subsequent attempts to transmit.
• Unknown: Only for test results created on Version 2.0 and upgraded
directly to version 4.0 or greater. Not for live tests.
