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:

2 Applied standards and regulations
Warning: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
The COBAS-Reader 8000 is conformal to the following radio regulations and standards:
● Europe (CE): EN 300 330-1 V1.3.1 (2001-06), EN 300 330-2 V1.3.1 (2006-04), ETSI EN 301 489-1

Attention: Supply voltages higher than 5,5 V might permanently damage the circuitry of the
COBAS-Reader 8000 and have to be avoided.
The COBAS-Reader 8000 has no internal fuses or any inrush current limitation. It is recommended to
integrate an appropriate protection circuit into the power supply line to protect the reader and surrounding
hardware against damage in case of failure or over voltage. A suppressor diode is integrated into the power
supply circuitry. Specific data of the suppressor diode see appendix “1.5SMC6.8AT3-D” (Appendix 6).
The circuitry is operates with an internally stabilized voltage for optimum and stable operation.
Behaviour of the COBAS-Reader 8000 at different supply voltages see at Appendix 7.

5 Embargoed countries
According to the information given from Mr. Martin, Head of division for Electronics, Optics and Sensors
(phone: 06196 / 908 – 788) at the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control in Germany are the
COBAS-Reader 8000 not restricted in any countries if they are used for medical applications as they are
designed for. The end user has to ensure that the COBAS-Reader 8000 are only used for their intent
application in the COBAS 8000 systems.
6 Installation notes
No special ESD prevention is required to assemble the COBAS-Reader 8000. It is recommend to use a ESD
wristband when you unpack the reader and connect it to the host system. The system power has to be
switched off prior to the assembly.
Be aware of the following possible environmental effects when your are installing the COBAS-Reader 8000
into a device. Also the transponders might be effected by:
• Nearby existing metal objects like housings, shielding and also PCB-boards with large ground
plates.
• EMC effects from cables
• EMC effects from magnetic fields.
Metal surface in direct vicinity of the active internal antenna will detune the antenna and thus have a direct
influence to the operating distance. Increase the distance between the antenna and the metal layer to the
possible maximum for least influence.
Communication between the reader and a transponder can never pass through a metal layer.
The optical sensors might be influenced (reduced) by condensed water on the housing of the LED / detector
components. A transparent medium should be placed on the rotor jacket cover for preventing water
condensing at the optical sensor area. The medium should be selected carefully and has to be transparent for
red light emitted by the LEDs.
Contamination by deposition of reactants on the optical sensors will reduce the reflection values for the white
and black label surface until no distinction can be made. Please take care that the sensors are periodically
cleaned.
The COBAS-Reader 8000 housing is designed to protect the reader electronics against humidity and water
condensation from the reagent rotor side. Please take care for a good sealing of the COBAS housing against
the rotor cover to prevent moisture / condensed water getting into the housing through the cable outlet.

Depending on further evaluation the decision criteria for valid sensor signals and valid differences might
have to be adopted.

7 Possible interactions between the COBAS-Reader 8000 and the host
system
Several different failure modes could have an impact on the functionality of the host system. The COBASReader 8000 is designed according to best knowledge to avoid any negative interactions with an host system.
All electrical interfaces to the host system are designed in conformance to existing standards. The following
table lists possible failure modes and methods to prevent defects on the host system.
Failure mode / possible influence Protective measures
Short circuit on reader board at the
power supply
Failure at the RS232 interface, like
short or open wires
Data failure inside the COBAS
machine due to EMC / EMV
Impact of the emitted RFID field to
the measurements
Malfunction of the optical detection
due to humidity condensation
Malfunction of the optical detection
due to contamination by reactants
Malfunction of the optical detection
due to HF field
Integration of an appropriate protection circuit into the power supply
which limits the supply current to 350mA during operation
The COBAS-Reader 8000 uses an RS-232 interface driver which is
according to industrial specifications
The reader will be qualified according to international standards as
listed in chapter 2 to minimize the risk of potential influences.
This effect can't be estimated and depends strongly on the
measurement methods used. Switch off the RFID antennae of the
reader before starting the measurements
Condensed humidity reduces the responses values of the black and
white label area. Therefore software could distinguish between both
colours by measuring the relation/difference of both responses
values.
Threshold values for contrast and absolute sensor values for black
and white label areas have to be defined.
Periodical manual cleaning of the optical sensors by service personal
or operators
Threshold values for contrast and absolute sensor values for black
and white label areas have to be defined.
Due to the mechanical design of the detection channels a powered HF
field has a direct influence to the response values. For save
measurements it is strongly recommended to switch the appropriate
HF channel off before the optical sensors are read out.
Interference of optical sensors The interferences between the optical sensors CH0/CH1 or CH2/CH3
are at an absolute minimum and have no impact to the measurement.
