Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention uses a so-called IC card in which a microcomputer including, for example, a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM is stored in a portable medium, and holds the portable medium. The present invention relates to an apparatus for automatically measuring urine in a urine medium to be examined.

[Related Art] Conventionally, a hospital takes a urine sample as one of various medical records in order to refer to treatment of an inpatient. This medical treatment record is obtained by a method of measuring the amount of urine of a patient with a measuring cylinder, or a method of detecting urine components by a qualitative or quantitative test using a urine substance test reagent. Used to obtain a therapeutic policy, as disclosed in US Pat. For example, urinary substances to be tested include various carbohydrates such as protein, glucose, galactose, fructose, and pentose, and pH, and the like.
There is one disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 247964. These urine sample data can be obtained by measuring the amount of urine by placing the urine in a specific urine collection container individually by the patient in the toilet, or measuring the amount of urine.
It is obtained by measuring the components of urine by the method disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 944.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, conventionally, a patient individually puts urine into a predetermined urine collection container and measures or measures the urine. The burden on the patient was great, and the organization of data for each patient was difficult.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems and automatically detect urine information.

[Means for Solving the Problems] As means for solving the above-mentioned object, an automatic urine analyzer according to the first aspect of the present invention is a storage device for storing identification information of an individual who is a urine collection medium and urine processing information. Means, a portable medium equipped with a wireless communication means, a urine sampler for collecting urine from a human, and a urine collection inspection means for measuring the amount of urine collected by the urine sampler or detecting the amount of components, A person detecting means disposed near the urine sampler to detect whether a person is present in front of the urine sampler; and the portable device detects the presence of a person in front of the urine sampler. Personal information input means for performing wireless communication with the portable medium and receiving individual information and urine processing information from the portable medium, and the urine collection based on the input urine processing information. Instruct the inspection means to measure the amount of urine or to detect the amount of urine components. Command means to instruct, urine test results tested by the urine collection test means,
The invention further comprises a test result output means for outputting the received identification information of the individual together with the urine processing information used for obtaining the test result.

The automatic urine analyzer according to claim 2 is characterized in that a host computer for inputting the urine test result output by the test result output means and personal identification information and performing data processing for each personal identification information is added. The gist of the present invention is the automatic urine analyzer of claim 1.

[Operation] The automatic urine analyzer of the first aspect of the present invention stores personal identification information and urine processing information in a storage means, and allows a person having a portable medium equipped with a wireless communication means to use a urine collection device. When the person stands, the person detecting means detects the person, and the personal information input means inputs the personal identification information and the urine processing information from the portable medium by wireless communication.

Next, the instruction means instructs the urine collection inspection means to execute the measurement of the urine amount or the detection of the urine component based on the urine processing information.

The urine sampling test means, according to the content of the command from the command means,
The examination is executed, and the examination result output means outputs the examination result together with the personal identification information.

Thus, for example, even in a hospital where an unspecified person uses a toilet, only wearing a portable medium storing urine processing information and personal identification information, a card can be inserted or a push button can be inserted. A urine test is automatically performed only for patients who need to take a urine test record without having to operate the urine.

In addition, even if a person who does not wear a portable medium uses the urine sampler in the toilet, a urine test is not performed, and even if the patient performs a urine test, the patient does not need to perform the test. Will not be executed until.

In the automatic urine analyzer according to the second aspect of the invention, the host computer inputs the urine test result output by the test result output means and the personal identification information, and performs data processing for each personal identification information. As a result, the urine test results are tabulated for each patient.

In the automatic urine analyzer according to a third aspect of the present invention, the urine test result inspected by the urine sampling inspection means is transmitted to the portable medium by the personal information output means. Thereby, the test result of the urine discharged at that time is stored in the portable medium worn at the time of urination.
