The COBAS-Reader 8000 is a customer specific adopted RFID reader based on TagStar's TS1415 reader
technology. It is designed for the use in a Roche / Hitachi C701/702 system.

1.1 Supported RFID chips

Following ISO 15693-3 compatible chips are supported by the COBAS-Reader 8000 RFID reader.

Due to the project definition the COBAS reader supports the following RFID chip:

● NXP I-Code SLI, the following documents are attached:

I-Code SLI SL2 ICS20, Smart Label IC, Short Form Specification, April 2002 (Appendix 1)
I-Code SLI SL2 ICS20, Smart Label IC, Functional Specification, January 2003 (Appendix 2)

1.2 Functional description

The COBAS-Reader 8000 has a two channel detection system consisting of a RFID antenna and two optical
sensors each. The optical sensors are used to detect the rotational orientation of a cassette placed below the
reader unit. Therefore the cassettes are labelled with a black/white coloured RFID label. At the detection
process the RFID reader reads the data of the transponder which is inserted into the RFID label. To control
the cassette orientation both optical sensors measure the reflected light, which indicates the black and white
label area. Depending on the reflection value the host system could decide if the cassette is inserted in the
correct orientation or turned at 180°.

1.3 Model, Manufacturer

The COBAS-Reader 8000 can be ordered at etifix at the following order code:

COBAS-Reader 8000

The reader electronic unit consists of a two channel RFID reader main board, with two external detection
units. These detection units carry an adopted RFID antenna and two optical sensors for the position detection
of labelled cassettes. The electronic unit is assembled into a housing provided by etifix.

The whole production of the COBAS-Reader 8000 unit will be done under the responsibility of etifix and a
subcontractor which are ISO 9001:2000 certified. The subcontractor is qualified and trained to meet the
special requirements of RFID reader production. (Appendix 12, 13)

1.4 Labelling

Each COBAS-Reader 8000 is labelled with different identification and security labels. The following picture
shows the position of each label:
