Description

Method and device for setting reagent level information, storage medium and sample analyzer

Description

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of sample analyzers, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for setting reagent level information, a storage medium, and a sample analyzer.

Background

The sample analyzer is used as a necessary testing device for hospital clinical laboratory, and the requirement on efficiency in clinical use is increasing. In order to improve the automation degree of the analyzer and improve the detection efficiency, some sample analyzers adopt a reagent tray device capable of automatically scanning the bar codes of reagent bottles. The device can automatically identify the bar code information on the reagent bottle on the reagent position, and further realize the related control of reagent sample adding. However, some fully automatic sample analyzers are designed, so that the reagent tray cannot automatically identify the barcode of the reagent bottle, and a user needs to manually set reagent information of the reagent position on application software, which is inconvenient to operate.

Furthermore, for sample analyzers that do not support automatic identification of reagent vial barcodes, it is often necessary to install a reagent vial identification device (e.g., a sensor) at the reagent site to make up for this deficiency in the automated process. Namely, an external handheld bar code scanner is used for scanning bar codes on reagent bottles, then the reagent bottles are placed in a reagent position of an analyzer, and after the reagent position identifies the reagent bottles, analytic information and position information are bound, so that the function of setting reagent position information is completed. Although this method achieves the intended function, it still requires the design of the instrument due to the need for a reagent bottle identification device. Therefore, a perfect method for realizing the setting of the reagent level information, i.e. the binding of the reagent information and the reagent level information without providing requirements on instrument design is not formed at present.

Illustratively, an exemplary electronic device for implementing the reagent level information setting method and apparatus according to the embodiments of the present invention may be implemented as a terminal such as a desktop computer, a tablet computer, or the like, or a medical system (such as a sample analyzer) including such a terminal, or the like.

Next, a reagent level information setting method 200 according to an embodiment of the present application will be described with reference to fig. 2. As shown in fig. 2, the reagent level information setting method 200 may include the steps of:

in step S210, barcode information of a reagent bottle to be placed on a reagent site of a sample analyzer is obtained, and the barcode information is analyzed to obtain reagent information associated with a reagent in the reagent bottle, where the barcode information is obtained by scanning a barcode of the reagent bottle by a barcode scanner external to the sample analyzer.

In an embodiment of the present application, a barcode scanner external to a sample analyzer (such as a coagulation analyzer) may be first used to scan a barcode on a reagent vial to be placed on a reagent site of the sample analyzer to obtain barcode information on the reagent vial. Here, the "barcode scanner outside the sample analyzer" may be understood as a barcode scanner externally connected to the sample analyzer, that is, the barcode scanner itself does not belong to a component of the sample analyzer, but is externally connected to the sample analyzer through a certain interface. In this example, the sample analyzer may include an interface for an external device, and a barcode scanner external to the sample analyzer is external to the sample analyzer via the interface. Alternatively, a "barcode scanner external to the sample analyzer" may also be understood as external to a computing device that houses the sample analysis application software, such as external to a computer chassis housing the sample analysis application software.

Based on the scanning of the external barcode scanner, barcode information of a reagent bottle to be placed on a reagent site of the sample analyzer can be acquired, and the barcode information is analyzed to obtain reagent information associated with a reagent in the reagent bottle. For example, when the reagent in the reagent bottle is blood, the reagent information associated therewith is parameter information associated with the blood in the reagent bottle. Based on the reagent information, binding of the reagent information to the reagent level information can be performed, which will be described in the following steps.

In step S220, the reagent information is displayed to the user, and an instruction of the user to set a reagent level corresponding to the reagent bottle based on the reagent information is received, and in response to the instruction set by the user, the reagent information is bound to the reagent level information of the reagent level set by the user.

In the embodiment of the present application, the reagent information of the reagent in the reagent bottle analyzed in step S210 may be displayed to the user. Based on the reagent information, the user can set a reagent level corresponding to the reagent bottle by a predetermined instruction. Based on the instruction, the binding of the reagent information of the reagent in the reagent bottle and the reagent level information of the reagent level corresponding to the reagent bottle can be realized. The reagent level information is position information of a reagent level corresponding to a reagent bottle (the reagent bottle may have been placed in the reagent level or may be ready to be placed in the reagent level). The binding of the reagent information and the reagent level information may be understood as associating, corresponding, mapping, or the like, the reagent information in the reagent bottle with the position information of the reagent level corresponding to the reagent bottle.

In one embodiment, the displaying of the reagent information may include a real-time display mode, where the real-time display mode is: and displaying the reagent information associated with the reagent in one reagent bottle in real time when the bar code information of one reagent bottle is analyzed, and starting countdown to remind the user to set the reagent position within the countdown time. In the display mode, each time the bar code of one reagent bottle is analyzed, the user is reminded to set the reagent level of the reagent bottle in a countdown mode, and the real-time binding operation of the reagent information and the reagent level information can be realized. In a further embodiment of this embodiment, the reagent information is automatically invalidated and automatically deleted after the countdown time has expired. In this embodiment, the display and storage of unnecessary reagent information (i.e., binding completed or no binding or other error operation, etc.) can be reduced while real-time binding operation is achieved, and interference or other influences on the display and operation of subsequent useful information can be avoided.

In another embodiment, the display of reagent information may include a batch display mode, the batch display mode being: after analyzing the barcode information of the plurality of reagent bottles in batch, the reagent information associated with each of the reagents in the plurality of reagent bottles is displayed in batch, and the user inputs a setting instruction for a reagent level of each of the plurality of reagent bottles one by one. In this embodiment, after all the current barcode information is analyzed, the corresponding reagent information is sequentially displayed in a certain order (for example, in a time order), and based on the list of the reagent information, the user can set the reagent level of each reagent bottle one by one, which is beneficial to improving the operation efficiency. In a further embodiment of this embodiment, after the binding of the reagent information and the reagent level information is completed, the reagent information obtained by the analysis may be removed, so as to avoid interference or occupation of a storage space caused by the binding of the reagent information and the reagent level information of the subsequent reagent bottle.

The above two display modes are only exemplary, and it should be understood that the display mode for displaying the reagent information may also include any other suitable display mode, and the suitable display mode may be set or selected according to different application scenarios. Further, the display mode for displaying the reagent information may be preset (for example, a default display operation is provided), or may be based on a user selection (for example, a plurality of display modes are included for the user to select).

Based on the display of the reagent information, the user can input a setting instruction for the reagent level of the reagent bottle. In one embodiment, the setting of the reagent level may include an icon setting mode of: each reagent position is displayed in an icon mode in a simulation mode, and a setting instruction of the reagent position is input by clicking the user. In the embodiment, each reagent position is displayed in an icon mode in a simulation mode, and a user can click the corresponding icon to set the corresponding reagent position of the reagent bottle.

In another embodiment, the setting of the reagent level may include an edit setting mode, the edit setting mode being: and receiving the reagent level information edited and input by the user to set the reagent level corresponding to the reagent bottle. In the embodiment, the reagent level information is manually input by a user, so that the setting of the corresponding reagent level of the reagent bottle is realized.

The above two setting modes are only exemplary, and it should be understood that the setting mode for the reagent level may also include any other suitable setting mode, which may be provided according to different application scenarios. Further, the display mode of the reagent information and the setting mode of the reagent level may be arbitrarily combined in the aforementioned provided modes (or other possible modes) to realize convenient, efficient, and highly reliable setting of the reagent level information. For example, in an embodiment combining the batch display mode and the icon setting mode, a user may click a reagent level icon on an interface, select reagent information from a popped reagent information list to bind the reagent information with the reagent level information, and click a save button to complete a reagent level information setting function after all selection operations are completed. Similarly, the operation of the embodiment in which the real-time display mode is combined with the icon setting mode, the embodiment in which the real-time display mode is combined with the edit setting mode, the embodiment in which the batch display mode is combined with the edit setting mode, and any other suitable embodiment in which the reagent information display mode is combined with the reagent level setting mode may be understood from the foregoing description, and will not be described herein by way of example.

In one embodiment of the invention, the reagent level to which the reagent level information is bound may correspond to a static reagent disk of the sample analyzer, each reagent level on the static reagent disk being fixed. In this embodiment, the reagent disk is static and each reagent site on the reagent disk is fixed. In other embodiments, the reagent level bound to the reagent level information may also correspond to a dynamic reagent disk of the sample analyzer, or any other reagent level of the sample analyzer.

An exemplary interface diagram after binding of reagent information and reagent level information using the reagent level information setting method according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to fig. 3. As shown in fig. 3, the upper left area shows the reagent level of the normal temperature zone diluent, and since the number of reagent levels of the normal temperature zone diluent is small (only 4 are shown in the example of fig. 3), it is clear without numbering (this is merely an example). The left middle area shows that different colors represent different reagent types, e.g. the left color represents the trigger reagent, the middle color represents the mixed reagent 1, and the right color represents the mixed reagent 2. The left lower area shows specific reagent information including measurement items, reagent type, reagent lot number, etc. (this is merely exemplary).

With continued reference to fig. 3, the right hand area shows the cryogen region reagent level, as shown, the reagent corresponding to reagent level No. 5 is FDP, with the remainder 532; the reagent corresponding to the reagent site numbered 12 is D _ D, the remainder being 211; the reagent corresponding to the reagent site with the number of 24 is needle washing liquid, and the balance is 456; the reagent corresponding to the reagent site numbered 11 is D _ D, the remainder being 52; the reagent corresponding to reagent site No. 22 is PT, the remainder being 55; the reagent corresponding to reagent site No. 20 is APTT, the remainder 563; TT represents the reagent corresponding to the reagent site numbered 2, and the remainder is 451; the reagent corresponding to the reagent site numbered 1 is APTT, the remainder being 99; the reagent corresponding to the reagent site numbered 18 was APTT, the remainder being 123. The font color of these agents also reflects their agent type. As can be readily seen from the figure, the reagents at reagent sites No. 5, No. 12, No. 22, No. 2 and No. 1 are all trigger reagents, the reagents at reagent sites No. 24 and No. 18 are mixed reagent 1, and the reagents at reagent sites No. 11 and No. 20 are mixed reagent 2. In addition, other numbered reagent bits are not yet bound to reagent information.

As is apparent from the interface diagram shown in fig. 3, the reagent level information setting method according to the embodiment of the present invention can conveniently implement the binding of the reagent information and the reagent level information through software. Further, it should be understood that this interface diagram is merely exemplary. The reagent level information setting method according to the embodiment of the invention can also be realized as other interfaces.

In a further embodiment of the present invention, the method 200 may further comprise (not shown in fig. 2): after the binding of the reagent information and the reagent level information is completed, the binding information including the correspondence relationship of the reagent information and the reagent level information is transmitted to the sample analyzer. In this embodiment, by transmitting binding information including the correspondence relationship between the reagent information and the reagent level information to the sample analyzer, the sample analyzer is made to obtain information about what kind of reagent information is placed on each of its reagent levels, which is of great benefit to the subsequent sample analysis process. Of course, the sample analyzer may itself carry the application or module for implementing the method 200, in which case, the transfer process of the binding information including the correspondence between the reagent information and the reagent level information need not be implemented, or the binding information including the correspondence between the reagent information and the reagent level information need only be transferred between the contents of the modules of the sample analyzer.

Based on the above description, according to the reagent level information setting method of the embodiment of the application, the external handheld barcode scanner is used for scanning the barcode on the reagent bottle, and the binding between the reagent information and the reagent level information is implemented through software operation, so that the reagent level information setting can be realized without the need of a barcode scanner and a reagent bottle identification device of the sample analyzer, the equipment cost and the design difficulty can be reduced, and the application range is wide.

The above exemplarily shows the reagent site information setting method according to the embodiment of the present application. Illustratively, the reagent level information setting method according to an embodiment of the present invention may be implemented in a device, apparatus or system having a memory and a processor.

In addition, the reagent level information setting method according to the embodiment of the invention can be conveniently deployed on mobile equipment such as a smart phone, a tablet computer and a personal computer. Alternatively, the reagent level information setting method according to the embodiment of the present invention may also be deployed at a server (or cloud). Alternatively, the reagent level information setting method according to the embodiment of the present invention may also be distributively deployed at a server side (or a cloud side) and a personal terminal side.

The reagent level information setting apparatus provided by another aspect of the present invention is described below with reference to fig. 4. Fig. 4 shows a schematic block diagram of a reagent level information setting apparatus 400 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The display and binding module 420 is configured to display the reagent information to a user, receive an instruction from the user to set a reagent level corresponding to the reagent bottle based on the reagent information, and bind the reagent information to the reagent level information of the reagent level set by the user in response to the instruction set by the user. The various modules may perform the various steps/functions of the reagent level information setting method described above in connection with fig. 2, respectively. Only the main functions of each block of the reagent level information setting apparatus 400 will be described below, and details that have been described above will be omitted.

Based on the scanning of the external barcode scanner, the analyzing module 410 may obtain barcode information of a reagent bottle to be placed on a reagent site of the sample analyzer, and analyze the barcode information to obtain reagent information associated with a reagent in the reagent bottle. For example, when the reagent in the reagent bottle is blood, the reagent information associated therewith is parameter information associated with the blood in the reagent bottle.

The reagent level information is position information of a reagent level corresponding to a reagent bottle (the reagent bottle may have been placed in the reagent level or may be ready to be placed in the reagent level). The binding of the reagent information and the reagent level information may be understood as associating, corresponding, mapping, or the like, the reagent information in the reagent bottle with the position information of the reagent level corresponding to the reagent bottle.

In one embodiment, the display of the reagent information by the display and binding module 420 may include a real-time display mode, where the real-time display mode is: and displaying the reagent information associated with the reagent in one reagent bottle in real time when the bar code information of one reagent bottle is analyzed, and starting countdown to remind the user to set the reagent position within the countdown time. In the display mode, each time the bar code of one reagent bottle is analyzed, the user is reminded to set the reagent level of the reagent bottle in a countdown mode, and the real-time binding operation of the reagent information and the reagent level information can be realized. In a further embodiment of this embodiment, the reagent information is automatically invalidated and automatically deleted after the countdown time has expired. In this embodiment, the display and storage of unnecessary reagent information (i.e., binding completed or no binding or other error operation, etc.) can be reduced while real-time binding operation is achieved, and interference or other influences on the display and operation of subsequent useful information can be avoided.

In another embodiment, the display of reagent information by the display and binding module 420 may include a batch display mode, the batch display mode being: after analyzing the barcode information of the plurality of reagent bottles in batch, the reagent information associated with each of the reagents in the plurality of reagent bottles is displayed in batch, and the user inputs a setting instruction for a reagent level of each of the plurality of reagent bottles one by one. In this embodiment, after all the current barcode information is analyzed, the corresponding reagent information is sequentially displayed in a certain order (for example, in a time order), and based on the list of the reagent information, the user can set the reagent level of each reagent bottle one by one, which is beneficial to improving the operation efficiency in the batch display mode. In a further embodiment of this embodiment, after the binding of the reagent information and the reagent level information is completed, the reagent information obtained by the analysis may be removed, so as to avoid interference or occupation of a storage space caused by the binding of the reagent information and the reagent level information of the subsequent reagent bottle.

Based on the display of the reagent information, the user can input a setting instruction for the reagent level of the reagent bottle. In one embodiment, the setting of the reagent level may include an icon setting mode of: the display and binding module 420 displays each reagent level in an icon form in an analog manner, so that the user inputs a setting instruction for the reagent level by clicking. In this embodiment, the display and binding module 420 displays each reagent level in the form of an icon in an analog manner, and a user can click the corresponding icon to set the corresponding reagent level of the reagent bottle.

In another embodiment, the setting of the reagent level may include an edit setting mode, the edit setting mode being: the display and binding module 420 receives the reagent level information input by the user for editing to set the reagent level corresponding to the reagent bottle.

In a further embodiment of the present invention, the apparatus 400 may further comprise a transfer module (not shown in fig. 4): after the display and binding module 420 completes binding of the reagent information and the reagent level information, the transmission module may transmit binding information including a correspondence relationship of the reagent information and the reagent level information to the sample analyzer. In this embodiment, by transmitting binding information including the correspondence relationship between the reagent information and the reagent level information to the sample analyzer, the sample analyzer is made to obtain information about what kind of reagent information is placed on each of its reagent levels, which is of great benefit to the subsequent sample analysis process. Of course, the sample analyzer may be a module itself that implements the apparatus 400, in which case, a transmission process of binding information including a correspondence between reagent information and reagent level information does not need to be performed, or only binding information including a correspondence between reagent information and reagent level information needs to be transmitted between contents of each module of the sample analyzer.

Based on the above description, the reagent level information setting device according to the embodiment of the present application scans the barcode on the reagent bottle based on the external handheld barcode scanner, and implements the binding of the reagent information and the reagent level information through software operation, without the need for the sample analyzer itself to have the barcode scanner and the reagent bottle identification device, the reagent level information setting can be achieved, the equipment cost and the design difficulty can be reduced, and the application range is wide.
