Software version V 14

New features in the software version V 14.04
•The system allows reflex testing: tests can be defined with a Supervisor level of access and can be carried
out either automatically or on request.
•Ancillary solutions IDS-iSYS TRIGGER A & B, IDS-iSYS WASH S and IDS-iSYS DSORB are now
automatically primed when installed in the system.
•Incomplete patient profiles can now be stored together with the completed profiles. In this case, the
analysis requests that have not been performed are automatically removed.
•The results calculated outside the measuring range are now interpreted in relation to the limits of the
measuring range.
•The number of available tests is now indicated on Immunology cartridges common to several analytes (eg
CCS cartridge). The minimum and the maximum numbers of available tests are displayed next to the
icon.
•The pubertal development stage (Tanner stage) can now be defined in the patient identification tab. This
data is transferred using the connection protocol «ASTM Compatible V3».
•The qualification profile tests are no longer displayed in the calibrations/controls window.
•New display options are available in the calibrations/controls window.
•The criteria for automatic validation of Immunoassay calibrations are modified: a specific limit can now be
applied to the CV calculated on the RLU of each calibrator. This CV may also be excluded from the
calibration validation criteria.
•A new criteria is now applied to Immunoassays calibrated without master curve: it allows verifying the
difference between the target and the calculated value of each calibrator.
•The validity of an expired calibration can be extended one day.
•CV calculated with raw data of each control is now displayed on the first tab of calibration for
immunoassays measured by spectrophotometer.
•An identifier entered for a calibrator or control is recorded by the system. When this ID is used again, the
lot data are automatically associated.
•In the CONSUMABLES menu, the filling of the solid waste is now displayed proportional to a maximal
capacity of 400 cuvettes.
•Post-dilutions can be performed either automatically or on request.
•An automatic maintenance, requested by infectious disease assays, is automatically performed when the
system is placed in standby mode.
•In the reference tables of analytical configuration, it is no longer mandatory to define an interval that does
not generate a message.
•The connection protocol « ASTM Compatible V3» is added:
•transfer the identifier of the operator who validates the profile.
•transfer the Tanner stage.
•The system can now be connected to the centralised computer via an Ethernet link.
•Access to the Levey-Jennings menu is simplified.
•The function for updating the analytical configuration is now integrated to the user’s interface.
•Biochemistry assay setup is modified: modification in step configuration (compatible with previous versions
without modifying the analytical process).
Issues in software package V14.04
•Using Westgard Rules, when a calibration has failed, a normal WE! Error message is attached to the results. When the
calibration is then restarted and been successful, normally the WE! error message should disappear. That is not the
case in this software version, the flag is still wrongly displayed on control results but not on patient profile results
•Using Westgard Rules, in the case of a calibration with two levels of controls violating a rule (WE! Error message), only
the first control level is displayed on the Westgard graph and in the table of values.
•When a calibration curve is displayed, only the control level 1 is shown on the curve. Other control levels must be
selected each time to be displayed.
•An error message displays each time a Levey-Jennings graph is displayed for a control that does not have a target
value defined. This error message must be accepted prior to select the appropriate graphic representation (mean/
deviation).
•When restoring a high volume database, the option «Stored results» for a partial restoring cannot be used. Full
restoring or the other options for partial restoring can be used.

Software version V 14

Issues in software package V 14.04 (continued)
•In the Storage menu displayed in standard mode, when the transfer to the LIS of a patient profile is requested while
one of multiple replicate results is selected, this selected result is not sent with the profile results. The relevant profile
must be selected to ensure sending of the complete profile.
•In certain cases, assays schedule to a first cartridge but not complete, may remain in error (red tick) despite a second
cartridge of the same lot being on-board. The first cartridge may also not be fully used. In this case, the run cycle must
be stopped and the relevant assays must be deselected (uncheck the box) prior to be selected again.
•Rounding at 0.1 mAbs may be different for the same result.
•When two analytes use the same cartridge, the number of available tests can be incorrect. In this case, all assays
requested for the two analytes will be carried out.
•The blue contour is applied only to removable racks in the sample compartment.
•A countdown before use may not resume when the cartridge is removed less than 5 minutes. In this case, a new
countdown begins.
•The status of a faulty calibration is not updated when excluding one of the calibrator replicates during a run. Patient
results and controls are calculated. The calibration status will be updated once the run cycle is stopped.

Operating principle
1-1- Field of Use
IDS-iSYS User Manual - Revision M1"Operating principle 1-1 2
Software version V 14

1-2- General Overview
is an in vitro diagnostic analyser. It enables assays using different systems of detection to be
carried out on a single analytical platform: luminescence and spectrophotometry, applied to the different fields
of clinical biology, Immunoassays and Biochemistry.
The analyser can support Immunoassays based on the principle of chemiluminescence as well as assays using
an enzymatic detection.
The analyser enables the complete automation for Immunoassays and Biochemistry tests.
Individual assays are carried out in disposable cuvettes which are automatically loaded onto a carousel.
Asynchronous management allows each cuvette to be processed individually and transferred to the relevant
reaction modules positioned around the carousel.
The cuvette is able to ensure compatibility in both fields. The measurements specific to each principle are
carried out directly in the reaction cuvette:
•Luminescence measurements carried out in the luminometer.
•Absorbency measurements carried out continuously by the spectrophotometer.
Designed for continuous loading, the analyser works on a sample-by-sample basis.

1. A refrigerated reagent compartment, consisting of 15 rails containing the Immunoassay or Biochemistry
racks as well as a specialised rack for chronometric reagents.
2. A compartment for samples , calibrators and controls with, depending on the analyser configuration, a
fixed sample tray with 64 positions , or a rack containing 6 removable trays each with 20 positions.
3. A pipetting arm that pipettes both reagents and samples.
4. A thermo-regulated carousel set at 37°C with 90 positions for disposable cuvettes. Incorporated into the
carousel is the spectrophotometer, used for measuring absorbancy from certain Immunoassay,
Biochemistry and Turbidimetry reactions.
5. A sedimentation module for magnetic particles.
6. An automatic cuvette loader, holding 960 cuvettes at a time (pre-formed as a cube).
7. A luminometer measuring luminescence in Immunoassay reactions (Immunoassay version).
8. Four washers for washing magnetic particles.
The barcode reader integrated into the reagent compartment identifies reagent cartridges supplied by IDS.
A second barcode reader, located on the front of the analyser identifies ancillary reagents.
Samples, calibrators and controls are identified or by the reader located on the front for analysers with a fixed
sample tray, either by a reader integrated into the sample compartment for analysers with removable sample
trays.
Operating principle
1-2- General Overview (continued)
IDS-iSYS User Manual - Revision M1"Operating principle 1-2 4
Software version V 14

For the fixed-tray configuration, each position is equipped with a detection sensor. Samples are identified by
the barcode reader (on the front) prior to loading the sample, or manually programmed after sample loading.
For the removable-tray configuration, the tray and each of its positions are identified when loading by the
integrated barcode reader.

4.2 Mechanical views of mock up:
Configuration with removable sample trays
The reagent cartridges are stored in the refrigerated reagent compartment between 12 and 15°C while the
analyser is operating and between either 8 and 10°C or 12 and 15°C in standby mode (depending on the
analyser configuration).
Depending on the configuration of the analyser, up to 15 Immunoassay parameters can be programmed
simultaneously or up to 36 Biochemistry parameters or a combination of both, up to the maximum number of
positions available.
For Immunoassays, the analyser only uses reagents supplied by IDS and its partners. For Biochemistry, it is
possible to use reagents available from suppliers other than IDS, however these reagents will not be managed
using the barcode system, and the information required for traceability must be manually programmed by the
operator.
When Biochemistry regents available from third-party suppliers are used, IDS takes no responsibility for the
validity of results obtained. It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure any non-IDS reagents are optimised
and validated for use on the analyser.
Operating principle
1-2- General Overview (continued)
IDS-iSYS User Manual - Revision M1"Operating principle 1-2 5
Software version V 14

Samples and reagents are aspirated using a probe equipped to detect liquid level using capacitance. The
sample and reagents are pipetted in accordance with the validated parameters for each assay and transferred
into a cuvette where the reaction takes place. Between each sample, the probe is rinsed internally and
externally in order to eliminate any risk of contamination.
Immunoassays:
The cuvettes are transferred to the washer module where magnets hold the solid phase (magnetic particles)
whilst washing takes place.
When the reaction is over, depending on the type of the assay, the cuvette is either transferred to the
luminometer for chemiluminescence assays or kept in the carousel for enzymatic assays.
For chemiluminescence assays, trigger reagents are added to produce luminescence.
For enzymatic assays, substrate is added and the photometric changes are measured continuously by the
spectrophotometer.
When measurement is complete, cuvettes are automatically ejected into a re-usable solid waste tray.
Biochemistry assays:
Photometric changes taking place in the reaction are measured continuously by the spectrophotometer.
The analyser is connected to a computer via an Ethernet link.
The software is able to program the analyser workload and carry out the following functions:
•Management of lots of reagents, calibrators and controls.
•Quality controls (Levey-Jennings and Westgard).
•Management of ancillary reagents.
•Operator traceability.
•Transfer of results to a centralised computer system.
•Printing, storing and traceability of results.
