SID segment

The Substance Identifier segment contains data necessary to identify the substance (e.g., reagents) used in the production of analytical test results. The combination of these fields must uniquely identify the substance, i.e., depending on the manufacturer all or some fields are required (this is the reason the optionality is 'C' (conditional)). If the analysis requires multiple substances, this segment is repeated for each substance. The segment(s) should be attached to the TCD segment. Another purpose of this segment is to transfer the control manufacturer, lot, etc. information for control

required in some cases

Count the pipes to find a field, and count the empty ones too: an empty field still holds its place. Leave out the separator before SID-2 and its value arrives as SID-1, so the receiver stores Substance Lot Number as Application / Method Identifier.

This page carries the SID field table as published and nothing beyond it. The field notes, vendor behaviour, FHIR mapping and parsing guidance that thePID page has are still to be written for SID.
