Detailed Description
So that the manner in which the features and technical contents of the embodiments of the present invention can be understood in detail, a detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are provided for illustration purposes only and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention.
The embodiment of the invention provides a cleaning method which is applied to a blood cell analyzer. The cleaning method provided by the embodiment of the invention is realized by a blood cell analyzer. Fig. 1 is a first schematic flow chart of a cleaning method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the method mainly comprises the following steps:
and S101, acquiring the state information of the instrument after the detection of the last sample is finished.
In embodiments of the present invention, the blood cell analyzer may obtain instrument status information after the last sample measurement is completed.
It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present invention, the blood cell analyzer may actually acquire the apparatus status information once after each sample is detected. The instrument state information is used for representing the use state of the blood cell analyzer after the last cleaning operation is performed on the blood cell analyzer. The apparatus status information obtained by the blood cell analyzer after the last sample is detected may include the time interval from the last cleaning operation and/or the accumulated amount of the detected sample after the last cleaning operation, and may also include other information. Specific instrument status information embodiments of the present invention are not limited.
And S102, comparing the instrument state information with preset state information.
In the embodiment of the present invention, in the case that the blood cell analyzer acquires the apparatus state information after the last sample is detected, the acquired apparatus state information may be further compared with the preset state information.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the blood cell analyzer stores preset state information. The preset state information may include a preset time length threshold and/or a preset sample size threshold, where the preset time length threshold and the preset sample size threshold may be predetermined according to an actual cleaning frequency requirement, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.
Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, the apparatus state information includes an interval duration from the last cleaning operation, the preset state information includes a preset duration threshold, and the comparing, by the blood cell analyzer, the apparatus state information with the preset state information includes: if the interval duration reaches a preset duration threshold, determining that the instrument state information is matched with the preset state information; and if the interval duration does not reach the preset duration threshold, determining that the instrument state information is not matched with the preset state information.
Illustratively, in the embodiment of the present invention, the preset duration threshold is T0, and the interval duration obtained by the blood cell analyzer after the last sample detection is completed and before the last cleaning operation is performed is T1, so that if T1 is greater than or equal to T0, that is, the interval duration reaches the preset duration threshold, it may be determined that the instrument state information matches the preset state information, and correspondingly, if T1 is less than T0, that is, the interval duration does not reach the preset duration threshold, it may be determined that the instrument state information does not match the preset state information.
Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, the apparatus state information includes an accumulated detected sample amount after the last cleaning operation is performed, the preset state information includes a preset sample amount threshold, and the comparing, by the blood cell analyzer, the apparatus state information with the preset state information includes: if the accumulated detection sample amount reaches a preset sample amount threshold value, determining that the instrument state information is matched with the preset state information; and if the accumulated detected sample amount does not reach the preset sample amount threshold value, determining that the instrument state information is not matched with the preset state information.
Illustratively, in the embodiment of the present invention, the preset sample size threshold is N0, and the cumulative sample size obtained after the last cleaning operation is performed by the blood cell analyzer after the last sample detection is completed is N1, so that if N1 is equal to N0, that is, the cumulative sample size reaches the preset sample size threshold, it may be determined that the instrument state information matches the preset state information, and correspondingly, if N1 is less than N0, that is, the cumulative sample size does not reach the preset sample size threshold, it may be determined that the instrument state information does not match the preset state information.
Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, the instrument state information includes a time interval from the last cleaning operation performed and an accumulated detection sample size after the last cleaning operation performed, the preset state information includes a preset time threshold and a preset sample size threshold, and the blood cell analyzer compares the instrument state information with the preset state information, including: if the interval time reaches a preset time threshold or the accumulated detection sample amount reaches a preset sample amount threshold, determining that the instrument state information is matched with the preset state information; and if the interval duration does not reach the preset duration threshold and the accumulated detected sample volume does not reach the preset sample volume threshold, determining that the instrument state information is not matched with the preset state information.
For example, in an embodiment of the present invention, the preset time threshold is T0, the preset sample size threshold is N0, the interval time obtained by the blood cell analyzer after the last sample detection is completed is T1, and the accumulated detected sample size after the last cleaning operation is N1, if T1 is greater than or equal to T0 or N1 is equal to N0, that is, the interval time reaches the preset time threshold or the accumulated detected sample size reaches the preset sample size threshold, it may be determined that the instrument state information matches the preset state information, and correspondingly, if T1 is less than T0 and N1 is less than N0, it may be determined that the instrument state information does not match the preset state information.
For some small clinics, the amount of samples per day is small, and if the cleaning is performed every time the machine is shut down, the amount of reagents consumed is large. Usually, the cleaning solution contains sodium hypochlorite, a surfactant and the like, and can clean and maintain impurities such as cellular proteins, generated reactants, debris and the like generated in the measurement process of the blood cell analyzer. It will be appreciated that the invention is applicable not only to human blood cell analyzers, but also to some animal blood cell analyzers, since the sample size in an animal clinic is usually only a few samples per day, and is not really necessary nor economical if the cleaning is switched off each time. It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, if the interval time length reaches the preset time length threshold, it indicates that the blood cell analyzer has performed a long sample detection after performing the cleaning operation last time, and if the accumulated detected sample amount reaches the preset sample amount threshold, it indicates that the blood cell analyzer has detected a large number of samples after performing the cleaning operation last time, so that, when any one of the above two cases occurs, it is actually necessary to perform the cleaning operation again to clean the probe and the pipe from the residual stains, so as to ensure the service life and the detection accuracy.
And S103, if the instrument state information is matched with the preset state information, outputting cleaning prompt information and/or executing cleaning operation.
In an embodiment of the present invention, after comparing the instrument status information with the preset status information, the blood cell analyzer outputs the cleaning prompt information and/or performs the cleaning operation if the instrument status information matches the preset status information.
It is to be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, if the instrument status information matches the preset status information, it is characterized that a cleaning operation needs to be performed for instrument cleaning.
Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, if the apparatus state information matches the preset state information, the blood cell analyzer may output a cleaning prompt message for prompting the user that the cleaning operation needs to be performed currently, and the user may send a cleaning instruction for instructing to perform the cleaning operation or an ignore instruction for instructing to temporarily not perform the cleaning operation to the blood cell analyzer through a specific touch operation or a specific key. After the blood cell analyzer outputs the cleaning prompt information, the blood cell analyzer may further include the steps of: when a cleaning instruction is received, cleaning operation is executed; when the neglect instruction is received, the cleaning prompt information is output once every preset reminding time interval from the time when the neglect instruction is received, and cleaning operation is executed until the times of outputting the cleaning prompt information reach the preset times and the cleaning instruction is not received.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, if the instrument state information matches the preset state information, the blood cell analyzer may only output the cleaning prompt information, at this time, the user may determine that the sample detection needs to be continued or the cleaning operation is not suitable to be immediately performed, so that an ignore instruction is sent to the blood cell analyzer, at this time, the blood cell analyzer does not perform the cleaning operation according to the received ignore instruction, and outputs the cleaning prompt information again after the preset reminding duration, of course, the user may still indicate not to perform the cleaning operation when reminding again, then continues to output the cleaning prompt information according to the preset reminding duration until the preset number of times is reached, and at this time, if the cleaning instruction has not been received, the cleaning operation is forcibly performed. In addition, the blood cell analyzer repeatedly outputs cleaning prompt information according to preset reminding duration, and under the condition that the preset times are not reached, if a cleaning instruction is received at a certain time, cleaning operation can be executed, and the blood cell analyzer stops outputting the cleaning prompt information again. The specific preset times can be preset according to the actual application requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.
Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, if the apparatus status information matches the preset status information, the blood cell analyzer performs a cleaning operation, including: and if the instrument state information is matched with the preset state information and the sample to be detected exists, continuing detecting the sample to be detected until all samples are detected or a shutdown instruction is received, and executing cleaning operation. Therefore, the analyzer can be cleaned in idle time or before shutdown, the test is not required to be suspended, and the sample testing efficiency can be improved.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, if the instrument state information matches the preset state information, the blood cell analyzer may not output the cleaning prompt information, and continues to perform sample detection when it is detected that a sample to be detected still exists, so that the cleaning operation is performed when all the samples are detected, of course, after the blood cell analyzer continues to detect the sample to be detected, when a shutdown instruction of a user is received, all the detection operations are actually completed, and at this time, the cleaning operation may also be performed. Therefore, the test can be carried out without pausing the test, and the test efficiency of the sample can be improved.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, if the apparatus status information matches the preset status information, the blood cell analyzer may further immediately output the cleaning prompt information and perform the cleaning operation, without receiving a user instruction or performing the cleaning operation under a certain condition in the above manner. Of course, if the apparatus status information matches the preset status information, the blood cell analyzer may further output the cleaning prompt information and/or perform the cleaning operation according to other specific rules, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.
Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a cleaning method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, in the embodiment of the present invention, after step S102, the following steps may be further included:
and S104, if the instrument state information is not matched with the preset state information and all sample detection is finished, executing shutdown operation when a shutdown instruction is received.
In an embodiment of the present invention, after comparing the instrument state information with the preset state information, if the instrument state information does not match with the preset state information and all sample detections are completed, the blood cell analyzer executes a shutdown operation when receiving a shutdown instruction.
It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, if the instrument state information does not match the preset state information, the characterization does not require performing the cleaning operation, at this time, if the last sample is the last sample to be detected, the user sends a shutdown instruction to the blood cell analyzer, and the blood cell analyzer directly performs the shutdown operation when receiving the shutdown instruction.
It can be understood that, in the prior art, when the blood cell analyzer is shut down every day, the cleaning operation is performed first, and then the shutdown operation is performed, and for the case of fewer daily detection samples, the blood cell analyzer does not need to be cleaned so frequently, and consumes more cleaning solution, and the cleaning efficiency is low.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the blood cell analyzer may perform the cleaning operation with a specific volume of the cleaning solution, specifically, if the instrument state information matches the preset state information, the cleaning operation is performed with a first volume of the cleaning solution, and further, if the instrument state information does not match the preset state information and a shutdown instruction is received, the cleaning operation is performed with a second volume of the cleaning solution, and after the cleaning is completed, the shutdown operation is performed, where the first volume is greater than the second volume.
It is understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, in the case where the instrument state information matches the preset state information, cleaning maintenance is actually required, and therefore, a cleaning operation can be performed using a larger volume of cleaning liquid. The instrument state information is not matched with the preset state information, cleaning and maintenance are not needed, and in addition, if a shutdown instruction sent by a user is received at the moment, cleaning operation can be executed by using the cleaning liquid with smaller capacity before shutdown, so that the instrument is effectively maintained to a certain extent, and the consumption of the cleaning liquid is reduced.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the blood cell analyzer may further perform a cleaning operation with a specific reagent, specifically, if the instrument status information matches the preset status information, the cleaning operation is performed with a cleaning solution, and further, if the instrument status information does not match the preset status information and a shutdown instruction is received, the cleaning operation is performed with a diluent, and after the cleaning is completed, the shutdown operation is performed. The diluent is mainly used for cleaning bubbles, dust and other residual reagents in the instrument pipeline.
It is understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, if the apparatus status information matches the preset status information, the cleaning solution may be used to clean and maintain impurities such as cellular proteins, generated reactants, and debris generated during the detection process of the blood cell analyzer. If the instrument state information is not matched with the preset state information, the cleaning of reactant impurities can be omitted, at the moment, bubbles, dust and other residual reagents in the pipeline are cleaned by using diluent before shutdown under the condition that a shutdown instruction is received, so that simpler and basic maintenance is realized, and the service life of the instrument can be prolonged to a certain extent.
Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of an exemplary cleaning process according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 3, after the last sample detection is completed, the blood cell analyzer obtains that the interval time from the last cleaning operation is T1, and further obtains that the accumulated detected sample amount after the last cleaning operation is N1, then compares the interval time T1 with the preset time threshold T0, and compares the accumulated detected sample amount N1 with the preset sample amount threshold N0, and if T1 reaches T0 or N1 reaches N0, outputs cleaning prompt information and/or performs the cleaning operation, and if T1 does not reach T0 and N1 does not reach N0, continues to detect the next sample when the next sample to be detected is stored, or, in the case that all sample detections are completed, directly performs the shutdown operation when a shutdown instruction is received.
The embodiment of the invention provides a cleaning method, which is applied to a blood cell analyzer and comprises the following steps: acquiring instrument state information after the last sample is detected; comparing the instrument state information with preset state information; and if the instrument state information is matched with the preset state information, outputting cleaning prompt information and/or executing cleaning operation.
