1.1 Introduction
This Programmer's Guide provides the information needed when writing a customized
software program which will collect synchronous data from the PRISMAFLEX control
unit, and store it in a personal computer (PC). This Guide is intended for use only by
trained and experienced software programmers. Before writing a data
collection/storage program, the programmer should understand how the medical
institution wishes to use the collected data.
Note: Detailed information about the PRISMAFLEX control unit is available in the
PRISMAFLEX Operator's Manual and the PRISMAFLEX Service Manual.

NOTE!
This Programmer's Guide has to be provided with the Baxter Non Disclosure
Agreement.

Communications Interfaces
2.1 Communications Interfaces
The PRISMAFLEX control unit is equipped with three different communication
interfaces, located on the rear panel:
● an Ethernet network port, with a 10Base-T compatible connector
● two optically isolated RS232 serial communication ports
● a USB port, compatible with USB 2.0

Figure 2-1. Ethernet and RS232 interfaces

The Ethernet network port, the RS232 serial communication ports and the USB port
are IEC 60601-1 compliant. For information about the USB interface, refer to Section 6
“The USB interface” on page 43.
When the PRISMAFLEX control unit is connected to an IT network, the Responsible
Organization should identify, analyze, evaluate and control risks due to the integration
of the PRISMAFLEX system in the IT network. Subsequent changes in the IT network
could introduce new risks and require additional analysis.
Changes in the IT network environment includes:
● changes in the IT network configuration
● connection of additional items to the IT network
● disconnecting items from the IT network
● update of equipment connected to the IT network
● upgrade of equipment connected to the IT network

WARNING!
If a Patient Data Management System (PDMS) is to be used with the PRISMAFLEX
system, the Responsible Organization is obliged to verify compatibility between the
two systems. The Responsible Organization should identify, analyze, evaluate and
control risks due to integration of PRISMAFLEX in an IT network. Subsequent
changes to the IT network could introduce new risks and require new analysis. The
use of a PDMS not compatible with the PRISMAFLEX system can result in
presentation of erroneous data. It is the responsibility of the physician to verify all
data before prescribing any therapeutic or pharmacological action for the patient.

G5015012 Rev 2019-04-30

6 PRISMAFLEX Communication Programmer's Guide - Program version 8.XX
Communications Interfaces
 WARNING!
The information provided via the PRISMAFLEX communications interfaces is
intended to supplement the patient treatment data displayed by the PRISMAFLEX
control unit. PRISMAFLEX communications interfaces information should not be
used as the sole basis for medical decisions. If there is a discrepancy between
information obtained through the PRISMAFLEX communications interface and the
information shown on the PRISMAFLEX display, the information shown on the
PRISMAFLEX display is to be considered correct.

WARNING!
The personal computer used for receiving/storing collected PRISMAFLEX data must
meet or exceed the IEC 60950 electrical isolation specification for computers.

NOTE!
The patient ID is hidden by default when using any of the external communication
protocols. The Responsible Organization has the legal responsibility to comply with
data security and confidentiality requirements.

2.2 General Settings

2.2.1 MachID
Each PRISMAFLEX system can be associated with a 2-byte word (hereafter MachID)
that is attached - for identification purposes - to every message that the PRISMAFLEX
system itself sends through its communication interfaces.
In order to take full advantage of the PRISMAFLEX Communication Protocol device
identification feature, check the uniqueness of the MachID across your PRISMAFLEX
network in the Calibration section in service mode, in the Service – External
Communication Interface screen. MachID is setable between 0 to 255.

2.2.2 Master Time Settings

The PRISMAFLEX control unit sends messages at fixed intervals called Master time.
Master timer can be configured in Calibration section in service mode, in screen
Service – External Communication Interface. Master timer can be adjusted
between 5 to 60 sec. The default value for this parameter (Master Timer) is 10 sec. It
applies to Ethernet port 3001 and RS232.
When using Ethernet port 3002 (Service messages), fixed interval is 1 sec.

2.3 Ethernet Connections

2.3.1 Software requirements

The PRISMAFLEX Ethernet network interface is bound to a TCP/IP software stack,
run by the PRISMAFLEX control unit operating system. The PRISMAFLEX control unit
has to be connected to a Ethernet LAN having an available IP protocols suite, so that a
communication channel can be opened.
The PC connected to the PRISMAFLEX control unit has to be TCP/IP enabled and it
should be able to perform a connection to the TCP port (listening port) on which the
PRISMAFLEX communication system is listening for connection requests. So make
sure that the correct route is set, and that the firewall (if any) between the socket
endpoints is properly configured.

G5015012 Rev 2019-04-30

Program version 8.XX PRISMAFLEX Communication Programmer's Guide - 7
Communications Interfaces
 If the Ethernet port number is set to 3001, then Status-messages are received (see
Section 3.2 “S-message Subtypes” on page 12).
If the Ethernet port number is set to 3002, then Service-messages are received (see
Section 3.2 “S-message Subtypes” on page 12).

NOTE!
the messages do not contain the number of the listening port. However, when a
communication is active, it’s possible to verify which listening port is used by
checking the value of the field FLAG in the message header (see Section 3.3.4
“Message Flags” on page 16).
In case of a socket timeout, the PRISMAFLEX control unit will drop a stalled TCP
connection after 20 ± 10 seconds. The timeout allows for detection of an unplugged
ethernet cable.

2.3.2 Network Settings

The IP address, bound to the PRISMAFLEX Ethernet network interface and the other
relevant IP settings (Subnet Mask and Gateway) can be found in Calibration section in
Service Mode, in screen Service - IP Settings.
Check that the chosen IP address is unique across your IP network, or network
software malfunction will arise.

2.3.3 Connecting the PRISMAFLEX Ethernet Network Interface

The Ethernet network interface connector is located on the rear panel of the
PRISMAFLEX control unit.
To connect the PRISMAFLEX control unit to the LAN a twisted-pair Cat.5E D+ class
patch cable should be used: one plug has to be attached to the PRISMAFLEX
Ethernet network interface connector, and the other can be inserted in a free patch
jack in your LAN hub/switch.

2.4 RS232 Connections

2.4.1 Software Requirements

The PRISMAFLEX RS232 port settings are given by the manufacturer and they cannot
be changed:
Configuration Setting
Baud rate 9600
Data bits 8
Parity None
Stop bits 1
Flow control None
Buffer max size 1024
Out 648
In

RS232 connection sends out Status messages.

Communications Interfaces
2.4.2 Connecting the PRISMAFLEX RS232 Interface
WARNING!
To connect the PRISMAFLEX control unit to a PC, use only a RS232 Interface Cable
that conforms to the requirements of IEC 60601-1 and IEC 61000-4 standards, and
meets European Standard EN 55011, limit B.

CAUTION!
Devices connected to the RS232 serial communication port or the Ethernet port
must comply with IEC 60950. Connected cables must have a Kitagawa RFC-10
ferrite or equivalent to fulfill EMC requirements.
The RS232 communications port is exposed on a DB9-type female connector, located
on the rear panel of the PRISMAFLEX control unit.
Pin configuration of the RS232 communication port is shown in Figure 2-2 “RS232
connector - DB9 Female” on page 9. To connect the interface cable to the
PRISMAFLEX control unit and PC, proceed as follows:
1. Line up the pins on the cable's connector with the sockets on the PRISMAFLEX
RS232 port. Press the pins into the sockets. Use the two finger screws to tighten
the connector to the PRISMAFLEX control unit.
2. Attach the other cable end to an unused COM port of the PC. Use the two finger
screws to tighten the connector to the PC.

the communication
3.1 Accessing the PRISMAFLEX Communication
PRISMAFLEX control unit makes available a synchronous data flow (containing both
technical and dialysis-related information) via the Communication Interfaces. Once the
logical connection has been established, the PRISMAFLEX connection peer starts
receiving the information that PRISMAFLEX control unit has been previously
configured for.
Parameter values are not filtered depending on e.g. chosen treatment, so parameters
will always contain default values if they are not changed by the user. Treatment
parameters not used for the selected treatment are set to zero.

NOTE!
When treatment is in a therapy state outside “RUN” and CHANGE_BAGS, the
S-message fields with names starting with IO_HIST_ are not updated.
In the Ethernet connection scenario, after the TCP connection has been opened, the
PRISMAFLEX control unit periodically writes a binary formatted message (hereafter
called S-message) on the newly created socket. The result is a sequence of
messages, characterized by a timing set, which can be configured via the
PRISMAFLEX Service Mode, as described in the Section 2.2.2 “Master Time Settings”
on page 7.
The RS232 connection has a similar behaviour: shortly after the serial connection has
been opened, the peer receives a byte stream, containing a periodical S-message
sequence. Make sure to start decoding only after a whole message has been received.

3.2 S-message Subtypes

There are two types of S-messages. They are called S-message subtypes and they
are:
● Status-message
● Service-message
Using Ethernet connections both types of S-messages are available, see Section 2.3
“Ethernet Connections” on page 7. For the RS232 connection only the status
message is available, see Section 2.4 “RS232 Connections” on page 8.
All S-message instances share the same structure definition: header and body, see
Section 3.3.1 “S-message Structure Definition” on page 12. Being a
Status-message or a Service-message determines the content of the body, since some
parameters can only be present in Service-message, see Section 3.3.3 “Message
Body: S-record Structure Definition” on page 15 and Section 5.2 “Parameters” on
page 22.

3.3 S-message Structure

3.3.1 S-message Structure Definition

The S-message is composed of two main sections:
● header
● body
The header is always present. It has a fixed and predetermined size (in bytes), and
contains a fixed number of fields. See Table 3-1 “S-message structure definition” on
page 13 .

12 PRISMAFLEX Communication Programmer's Guide - Accessing Program version 8.XX
the communication
 The body is not always present and it does not have a fixed size. When it exists, it
contains a sequence of one or more S-records, see Section 3.3.3 “Message Body:
S-record Structure Definition” on page 15.
The precise S-message structure definition is given in the following table:

 Function used to add one byte to the CRC result

3.3.3 Message Body: S-record Structure Definition

The message body contains zero or more S-records. No separator or terminator is
used in the S-records sequence.
Each S-record represents a measure (Measure_value) relative to a PRISMAFLEX
control unit parameter (Param_code), performed at a given time (Time).
More formally, a S-record is the binary serialization of a C-language variable of a type
defined as follows:

built under the rules described in Section 3.4 “Endianness” on page 17.
Param_code is the code for the parameter. There are Numerical parameters,
Enumerative parameters and Alarm (Warning, Malfunction, Caution, and Advisory)
parameters. They are listed in Section 5.2 “Parameters” on page 22.

NOTE!
For Numerical and Enumerative Parameters (ActualValue), the Param_code
corresponds to the ID in the Parameters section.

G5015012 Rev 2019-04-30

Program version 8.XX PRISMAFLEX Communication Programmer's Guide - Accessing 15
the communication
 NOTE!
For Numerical and Enumerative Parameters (SetValue), the Param_code
corresponds to 0x40000000 + the ID in the Parameters section.

NOTE!
For Alarm Parameters, the Param_code corresponds to 0x80000000 + the ID in the
Parameters section.
Time is the set time on the PRISMAFLEX Control unit when the sampling measure has
been performed. It’s expressed in seconds, elapsed from the Jan, 01 1970 midnight
(epoch time). Measure_value represents the value of the parameter, expressed in
exponential notation (base-10). Only the mantissa is included in the Srecord: the
exponent to be used is fully determined given a particular parameter code, and it can
be found in Parameters section.

3.3.4 Message Flags

Some useful information can be found in the Flags field. This value should be
interpreted as a result of multiple bitwise-OR operations across every single atomic
data that applies, and that can be one or more of the following (in C language
#define-type representation):
#define STATUS__MESSAGE___FROM_PRISMAFLEX0x00000001
#define SERVICE_MESSAGE___FROM_PRISMAFLEX0x00000002
#define PWRFAIL_MESSAGE___FROM_PRISMAFLEX0x10000000

WARNING!
In case of power failure event detected via the appropriate message flag
(PWRFAIL_MESSAGE___FROM_PRISMAFLEX), all the remaining message
information - including the entire message body - must be ignored, since the data
correctness is not guaranteed.

3.3.5 Patient Identifier

Patient Identifier represents the patient ID. Its value can be set via the PRISMAFLEX
User Interface, in the “Enter Patient Information” screen. It can contain a
maximum of 20 characters. Patient ID is hidden by default (determined by a parameter
in service mode). Configuration can be done in the Calibration section in service mode,
in the Service – External Communication Interface screen.

NOTE!
The patient ID is hidden by default when using any of the external communication
protocols. The Responsible Organization has the legal responsibility to comply with
data security and confidentiality requirements.

3.3.6 Software Revision Encoding Convention

The SWRevision field of every S-message contains the PRISMAFLEX software
version. Despite the software version of the PRISMAFLEX Control System includes
build information, it is not visible in every place of the application. Therefore the
SWRevision field has the following structure:
SWa.bVcRd
where a, b, c and d are numbers.

G5015012 Rev 2019-04-30

16 PRISMAFLEX Communication Programmer's Guide - Accessing Program version 8.XX
the communication
 Here are the steps to get the PRISMAFLEX software version from the SWRevision
field:
● Apply the little-endian convention to the SWRevision field.
● Convert the hexadecimal value to the decimal value (e.g. a b c d).
● Extract the digits and group them according to the above PRISMAFLEX software
version structure.
See Section 4.1 “Example of a Received Data Stream” on page 20.

3.4 Endianness
Endianness refers to sequencing methods used in one-dimensional systems. The
convention “little-endian” (little-units-first, i.e. Intel x86-type representation) applies to
all binary streams, when talking or listening to the PRISMAFLEX System.
Let suppose that the value of the field “Flags” of a certain message is “02 00 00 00”.
According to the little-endian convention, that value must be read as “00 00 00 02”.
That tells us that we are analyzing a Service-message.

3.5 Alarm
Information about alarms are given at the end of an S-message (both Status-message
and Service-message), after the Numerical and Enumerative parameters list.
Only alarm with the highest priority will be included when an S-message is sent. In
case more than one alarm is active, only the alarm with the highest priority will be
reported as present, as per Table 5-6. Any overridden alarm will also be reported.

6.1 Automatic saving of History Data
History data are automatically saved by the PRISMAFLEX control unit in an internal
memory. Additional information is also included to support the manufacturer when a
technical investigation needs to take place. The history data of the last treatment can
be accessed from the History screen.
At the end of the treatment when the set is unloaded, the history data are saved into a
compressed LOX file in the internal memory for later transfer to a USB flash drive. The
internal memory stores up to 100 consecutive history files; thereafter, the oldest data is
gradually replaced with new data.
If any error is detected while saving treatment data to the internal memory, the alarm
Advisory: Download Interrupted is activated and the user is given the option to
save current treatment data immediately to an attached USB flash drive.
If the machine is powered down (switched off) or a total power loss occurs during
treatment, History Data are retained in the internal memory.

6.2 Transferring History Data to a USB flash drive

The PRISMAFLEX control unit is able to transfer the content of the internal memory to
a USB flash drive.
Procedure
1) In the Choose Patient screen of the PRISMAFLEX control unit, press the
DOWNLD DATA softkey.
2) When the Download screen appears, insert a USB flash drive into the USB port of
the PRISMAFLEX control unit. The DOWNLD DATA softkey is enabled.
3) Press the DOWNLD DATA softkey and wait for a confirmation that the download
is finished. While the History data files are being downloaded, the CHOOSE
PATIENT softkey is disabled.
Each time the DOWNLD DATA softkey is pressed, all history files stored in the
internal memory are copied to the USB flash drive.
History files transferred to the USB flash drive will be saved in a folder on the USB
flash drive with a name based on the serial number of the PRISMAFLEX control
unit.

 Figure 6-1. Choose Patient screen

Figure 6-2. Download screen

4) When the data download has finished, press ERASE DATA to erase old history
data.

NOTE!
Erasing the History Data is possible before downloading it to the USB flash drive.
Always make sure to download the data before erasing it to avoid data loss.

G5015012 Rev 2019-04-30

Program version 8.XX PRISMAFLEX Communication Programmer's Guide - The USB 45
interface
 5) Remove the USB flash drive after downloading History Data files. The DOWNLD
DATA softkey is disabled and the CHOOSE PATIENT softkey is enabled after the
USB flash drive is removed.

6.3 Interpretation of History Data

6.3.1 How to transfer the USB Flash Drive Content to a Computer

Before you begin
The computer should have a USB port to connect the USB flash drive and a software
to be able to decompress file and to import the downloaded .lox file (e.g.: 7-zip file
manager and Excel).
Procedure
1) Insert the USB flash drive into the USB port on the PC. The flash drive is identified
by Windows as a removable disk.
2) Copy the one single LOX file or the complete folder structure to the PC hard disk.
3) Erase files from the USB flash drive, after having checked that the files have been
copied correctly.
4) Use the proper command to eject the USB flash drive from the computer.
5) Use your preferable tool to decompress the file saved on your PC.

6.3.2 Example of a LOX file copied from a USB flash drive

File name is interpreted in the following way (11IE5FEA.LOX used as an example):
File name is based on following structure:
SSSYMDHM.* (time is based on download time)
● SSS Device serial (Base36, zero padded)
● Y Year since 2000 (Base36)
● M Month (Base36)
● D Day (Base36)
● H Hour of day (Base36)
● M Every other minute of hour (Base36)
The file used as an example gives following values:
● 11I = 1350 (serial number of the PRISMAFLEX control unit)
● E = 14 (Year 2014)
● 5 = May
● F = 15
