Description

  The present invention relates to a blood collection tube management system for managing the state of collection of blood collection tubes distributed to medical institutions from the medical institution, and a blood collection container used in the system.

  In hospitals and other medical institutions, a predetermined blood test is often performed on the basis of symptoms reported by the patient, and the diagnosis of the patient is often determined based on the test result. Blood collected from a patient is stored in a container called a blood collection tube. At hospitals with small and medium-sized hospitals or practitioners who do not have a laboratory in the hospital, a test request document describing the details of the test to be performed is sent to an external laboratory with a blood collection tube for blood tests. . Then, the laboratory verifies the sent blood collection tube with the test request document, performs the prescribed blood test specified in the test request document for the blood in the blood test tube, and reports the test result to the hospital. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1). The blood collection tube described in Patent Document 1 is attached with a label in which a bar code that encodes at least a container type and a management number is formed of a transparent body. As described in Patent Document 1, the blood collection tube and the examination request form are distributed in advance from the examination institution to the medical institution free of charge according to the request of the medical institution. Then, in the medical institution, blood is collected in a type of blood collection tube corresponding to the inspection item, and sent to the inspection institution together with an inspection request form in which necessary items are filled.
