Around the reaction disk 112, a sample dispensing probe 116, a stirring device 117, a cleaning device 118, a light source 119, and a multi-wavelength photometer 120 are arranged. A reagent dispensing probe 121 is disposed between the reaction disk 112 and the reagent disk 114. A rack transport belt 122 is installed on the rotation circumference of the sample dispensing probe 116. The rack 123 moves on the rack transport belt 122. A plurality of sample containers 124 containing samples are installed in a rack 123.

  All the operations of these devices constituting the analysis unit 111 are controlled by the computer 126 via the interface 125.

  The operator gives an analysis instruction to the analysis unit 111 using the display device 104 of the operation unit 101 and the keyboard 102 or the mouse 103. The analysis instruction is transmitted to the analysis unit 111 via the interface 106. The analysis unit 111 performs an analysis operation as follows in accordance with the received analysis instruction.

  The sample dispensing probe 116 dispenses a predetermined amount of the sample contained in the sample container 124 into the reaction container 113. When the dispensing for one sample container 124 is completed, the rack transport belt 122 moves the rack 123 so that the next sample container 124 is directly below the sample dispensing probe 116. When the dispensing of all the sample containers 124 on the rack 123 is completed, the rack 123 is carried out by the rack transport belt 122. The reaction container 113 into which the sample is dispensed rotates on the reaction disk 112 by the rotation of the reaction disk 112.

From this absorbance signal, based on the analysis method set for each analysis item in advance, in the case of a standard solution sample, calibration curve data is calculated from the set concentration data, and instead of a patient sample or an expensive standard solution sample, In the case of a control sample for monitoring deterioration in accuracy of the analysis unit 111, concentration data is calculated based on calibration curve data obtained by measuring a standard solution sample. These data are transmitted as measurement results to the operation unit 101 via the interface 106 after adding information symbolizing the type of the sample.

  In the above operation / operation, the operation content and state of the analysis unit 111 are transmitted to the operation unit 101 via the interface 106 and stored in the storage device 107, and further displayed on the display device 104 by a user operation or the like. . In addition, operation contents such as a screen, input contents, and setting parameters displayed on the operation unit 101 are stored in the storage device 107.

  The analysis result data can be displayed on the display device 104 using the item name uniquely defined by the user on the screen shown in FIG.

  FIG. 2 is obtained as an example of a screen for defining user-specific display items.

  The user can define a new display item by assigning a user-specific item name to existing analysis result data and assigning a name to a specific range of the data. That is, the user can register a new item name (“sample type” in the illustrated example) by inputting a desired item name into the item name input pull-down menu 201. An item name already registered in the item name input pull-down menu 201 can be edited or deleted. When inputting an item to be grouped with respect to a new item name, an item name of analysis result data (“patient ID” in the illustrated example) is selected from the pull-down menu 202 to be associated. Further, by defining the display name 205 in the specific range of the analysis result data selected in the grouping range (ID number range in the illustrated example) 203 and 204, the specific range of the analysis result data is grouped by the display name specified by the user. can do. In the illustrated example, the new item name “specimen type” is a combination of a patient reason such as outpatient or hospitalization and a medical subject such as internal medicine or surgery depending on the patient ID number (number range) which is a grouping item. Grouped by display name 205. After registering the necessary number of grouping information, pressing the save button 211 saves the information of the item name corresponding to the new item name and closes this screen. When the item name information is not changed, the cancel button 210 is pressed to close the screen.

  User-specific item names can be used effectively as display items on the analysis result display screen and sort keys on the analysis result screen.

  FIG. 3 is an example of a screen for setting display items on the analysis result display screen.

  In order to display the display items required by the user in a sequence of items that are easy for the user to display on each screen displaying the analysis result, the data items displayed by the user and the display position are set. The items listed in the undisplayed item 301 are a part of the analysis result data, but indicate items that are not currently displayed on the corresponding screen. On the other hand, items listed in the display item 302 indicate items that are currently displayed on the screen. In order to make a non-display item a display item, an item desired to be displayed is selected from the non-display items 301 and an add button 303 is pressed. As a result, the selected item moves from the undisplayed item 301 to the display item 302 and becomes the display target of the corresponding screen. Conversely, to hide the display target item, the item is selected from the display items 302 and the delete button 304 is pressed. As a result, the selected item moves from the display item 302 to the non-display item 301 and is no longer a display target of the corresponding screen. The display position of the display target item is determined by the position in the display item 302. That is, the uppermost row in the display item 302 is the leftmost item of the corresponding screen, and the lowermost row is the rightmost item (see the display example in FIG. 5). The display position is changed by selecting a movement target item in the display item 302 and then changing the position of the corresponding item with the up movement button 305 or the down movement button 306. The user-defined item names registered in FIG. 2 are also processed on this screen.

  FIG. 4 is an example of a sort key selection screen for rearranging data by a plurality of items.

  This screen is displayed by operating a button or the like prepared on the analysis result display screen (see the display example in FIG. 5). After selecting the combination of the item data to be selected from the pull-down menu of the priority key 401, the second key 402, and the third key 403 on this screen and the ascending / descending order designation 404, 405, 406 of each key, the OK button 411 is pressed. Thus, the data display order of the analysis result display on the corresponding screen is rearranged (refer to the display example of FIG. 5 for the data display of the rearranged analysis result display). When the cancel button 410 is pressed, no sorting is performed. The user-defined item name registered in FIG. 2 can also be selected as a sort key. One or more sort keys can be selected, and any of them can be selected. The priority of rearrangement when two or more are selected is in the order of the priority key 401, the second key 402, and the third key 403.

  If all the keys are selected, the data is rearranged in the reverse order of priority. First, all the data is sorted using the third key 403, and then all the data is sorted using the second key 402. Further, all data are rearranged by the priority key 401.

  FIG. 5 is an example of a screen display when the user defines screen display items.

  The analysis result display shown in FIG. 5 is based on the display items set on the display item setting screen shown in FIG. 3 using the sample type 510 which is a display item newly defined by the user on the display item definition screen shown in FIG. This indicates that the data of the sample type 510, the patient ID 511, the rack number 512, and the date / time 513 are displayed in the order set by using the up button 305 and the down button 306. .

  Further, this screen shows an example of the result of rearranging data by a plurality of items in FIG. When the sort button 501 is pressed, the screen of FIG. 4 is displayed. On the screen of FIG. 4, the sample type 510 is selected as the priority key 401, the patient ID 511 is selected as the second key 402, and the date / time 513 is selected as the third key 403. This is an example showing the result of performing sorting by selecting ascending order in each sorting order, and shows that sorting has been performed in the priority order of specimen type 510, patient ID 511, and date / time 513.

  In the above, the example in which the existing display item of the specimen type is converted into a new easy-to-understand display item such as an outpatient department using a patient ID has been described. In addition, the display item can be changed or added to a display item that is easy for the user to understand.
