Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to the identification and identification of sample containers for primary medical or veterinary samples and is aimed in particular at an integrated and / or automated device for the identification and / or traceability of these containers.
- primary samples refers to the taking of biological samples, for example blood samples, taken from a patient and which are, in general, placed in so-called primary sampling containers when these Sampling is done directly after sampling.
- the invention is intended for primary sampling, medical or veterinary, arranged on at least one container holder provided with a plurality of housing for each receiving one of said containers, the latter being provided with a code bar.
- the samples, placed in sampling containers, are referenced by bar-coded labels each corresponding to a tube and whose reading allows, by correlation with appropriate software, to identify the patient and / or the analyzes to be performed. carry out.
- these samples are sometimes subjected to a fractionation in so-called secondary samples, each placed in a sampling container also called secondary.
- centrifugation of the primary sample in question is generally carried out, followed by manual pipetting, for example of the supernatant.
- the pipetted element and quantity constituting the secondary sample are sometimes subjected to a fractionation in so-called secondary samples, each placed in a sampling container also called secondary.
- sampling containers both primary and secondary, are placed in container holders so as to establish a collection of samples which will then be submitted, container carrier by container carrier, to the analysis.
- the containers are kept for a certain time in a serum bank, in order to possibly renew an analysis or to perform another type of analysis. analysis.
- the container carriers are sometimes also referenced by the presence of barcode labeling as the container for receiving the samples to be destroyed.
- the inventors have developed, which is the object of the present invention, an integrated and / or automated device for the identification and / or traceability of sampling containers of primary medical or veterinary samples and to overcome these disadvantages. and in particular by ensuring the traceability of any sampling while guaranteeing optimum safety and reliability.
- the device comprises at least one container holder provided with a plurality of housings for each receiving one of said containers, each of said containers being provided with a bar code.
- This device is characterized in that it further comprises: at least means of:
- the device according to the invention also makes it possible to read the bar code of each container and, by the implementation of the input means, to assign to it the coordinates of each patient, the references of the analysis to be carried out, the expiry date of the sample at the bar code read.
- the device according to the invention will furthermore comprise means for managing and controlling all the means implemented.
- the visualization means provided for the device also make it possible to check, at any moment, the data read or entered, their correlation and the progress of the archiving of the data.
- each container carrier is advantageously arranged in at least one row.
- the housing of a container carrier having more than one row are arranged in staggered relation to the bar code reading means.
- the means for reading the barcodes of the containers are arranged parallel to the containers and windows are provided in such a way as to only allow reading. at predetermined positions corresponding to said dwellings.
- the container carriers of the device according to the present invention are mobile and / or removable.
- This characteristic also makes it possible to form a container carrier totally or partially filled with containers outside the device according to the invention. Moreover, it is then possible to remove the container carrier from the device after the archiving and seizure operations completed so as to analyze the samples contained in the containers and / or the placement of the container carrier in the serum bank.
- the mobility of the container carrier will be useful for example to effectively stall containers facing barcode readers.
- the container carrier may comprise a bar code referencing it and the correlation between the primary containers and the container carrier is ensured by the implementation of the input means, storage means and / or means for correlating said device.
- the device according to the present invention may further include, where appropriate, a barcode reader dedicated to reading the bar code of the container carrier.
- the input means of the device according to the present invention consist of a keyboard and / or a mouse.
- the storage means and the means of correlation of the device according to the invention comprise a microprocessor, a central unit, a computer memory and software.
- the display means of the device according to the invention are a screen.
- the device according to the invention also comprises automated sampling means for taking a sample from a primary container and transferring it to a secondary container, also provided with a bar code, the correlation between the containers.
- the secondary containers and / or container carriers being provided by means of reading the bar codes of the secondary containers and the implementation of the input means, storage means and / or means of setting correlation of said device.
- the secondary containers are arranged for example in a second container holder provided with a plurality of housings for each receiving one of said secondary containers.
- the primary containers are arranged in a row of a container carrier having at least two rows and the secondary containers are arranged in another row of the same container carrier.
- the automated sampling means are pipetting means.
- the automation of the pipetting step also makes it possible to avoid any human error in reading and / or assigning the bar codes of the primary and secondary receptacles. Moreover any pipetting error, both volumetric and manipulative, is avoided by the implementation of the means of the device.
- the single figure shows a device according to the invention comprising automated pipetting means.
- an integrated and / or automated device for the identification and / or traceability of sampling containers (1) of primary medical or veterinary samples comprising at least one container carrier (2) provided with a plurality of housing for receiving each one of said containers (1), each of said containers (1) being provided with a bar code (3).
- the container carriers (2) are removable and can be moved to be stored as such, for example in a serum bank.
- This device comprises a reader (5) for bar codes (3) and, coupled thereto, a detector (4) for the presence of said containers (1) in the corresponding housing.
- the device is arranged to contain as input means (6) references of the sample contained in the containers, an alphanumeric keyboard such as that of a computer or a typewriter.
- the device also comprises a central unit (8), a microprocessor (9) and a memory area (7), these elements making it possible to control software for correlating the data read by the barcode reader and the data entered. by the keyboard (6).
- a mouse (6) is provided so as to interact with the software and if necessary trigger the launch or stop of the software and / or a step of this software.
- All the data read and / or entered as well as the progress of the software and the operation of the device are displayed by means of a screen (10) arranged opposite the keyboard (6).
- the screen (10) and the keyboard (6) may be arranged at a distance from the device itself so as to allow any latitude to the operator to control the device from his office.
- the device is presented in a maximum compactness.
- the device as shown further comprises an automated pipetting device (12) for taking a sample from a primary container (1) and transferring it to a secondary container (13).
- an automated pipetting device (12) for taking a sample from a primary container (1) and transferring it to a secondary container (13).
