Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to report measured data with little nonuniformity to a user, by a method wherein input data are edited in forms of an integral part and a decimal part and values of the integral part are edited for output so that the numbers of effective digits at a decimal point or below may be in accord for each inspection item. CONSTITUTION:Measured data obtained by various inspecting means are inputted to a data input element 1. A data editing element 2 is constituted by a microprocessor and it rounds off the inputted data on the basis of a formula into a form of the product of an integral part A and a decimal point part B. The integral part A is expressed by a packed decimal, while the decimal point part B is dealt with as a decimal point information. For instance, they are rounded off and edited in the forms of 7.32=732(A)X10<-2>(B) and 7.1=710(A)X10<-2>(B). A data storage element 3 is constituted by various memories and stores the values (732 and 710) of the integral part A. A data editing element 4 edits the values of the integral part A so that the numbers of effective digits below a decimal point be in accord in such a manner as 732X10<-2>=7.32, 710X10<-2>=7.10. These edited data are outputted from a data output element (printer or the like) 5 and reported to a user.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a chemical analysis data processing device having the ability to edit input measurement data.

(Prior art) Human blood or the like is used as a sample (specimen), a desired sample is reacted with it, and the concentration of a specific component in this reaction solution is measured, for example, by a colorimetric method, and used for diagnosis. Automatic chemical analyzers are known. As the performance of such analyzers improves, it has become possible to automatically measure most test items when analyzing a specimen. However, for some items, so-called manual tests that do not use analyzers are also performed, and are applied to special tests that are not subject to routine tests, such as immunoserological tests. In recent years, inspection management has become stricter, and one item is now measured using multiple analyzers or using both analyzers and manual methods. Measurement data obtained by different testing means such as analyzers or manual techniques are subjected to desired processing as necessary, and then finally reported to a user such as a doctor as diagnostic information.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, when measurement data of one item is measured using different inspection means, there is a problem that the accuracy of the measurement data varies depending on the inspection means.

For example, when measurement is performed using an analyzer, highly accurate measurement data can be obtained, while when measurement is performed using a manual inspection, only measurement data with lower accuracy can be obtained.

Therefore, the measurement data reported to the user will be delivered as data with variations even though they are for the same item, and there will be cases where the measurement data cannot be used as effective diagnostic information.

In general, it is necessary for operators such as engineers to pursue highly accurate values, but on the other hand, for users such as doctors who use the data obtained as diagnostic information, high accuracy is not necessarily required. Sometimes you don't need the data. In fact, data with less variation is often more useful than data with high accuracy.

The present invention was made in response to the above circumstances.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a chemical analysis data processing device that can report measurement data with little variation to a user.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a first data editing unit that edits input data into a product of an integer part and a decimal part; a data storage unit that stores the value of the integer part of the data, and a second unit that edits and outputs the stored integer part value so that the number of significant digits after the decimal point matches each other for each inspection item.
The system is equipped with a data editing department.

(Function) The measurement data obtained by the analyzer or manual method is edited in the first data editing section into a product of the integer part and the decimal part, and only the value of the integer part is stored in the storage part. . When outputting to the user, the value of the integer part is edited by the second data editing unit so that the number of significant digits after the decimal point matches each inspection item, and the value is output.

Therefore, measurement data with little variation is reported to the user regardless of the inspection method used.

(Example) Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the chemical analysis data processing apparatus of the present invention. A data input section 1 is composed of various input means and is for inputting measurement data obtained by various inspection means, for example. Data measured by the analyzer is inputted online, and measured data obtained manually is inputted via the keyboard. The first data editing section 2 is composed of a dedicated microprocessor, and rounds all input measurement data into the product of the integer part (mantissa part) A and the decimal point part B based on the following rounding formula. It is for.

A B Here, an arbitrary number is selected for P.

Further, the integer part A is expressed as a back decimal number, and the decimal point B is treated as decimal point information. - As an example, if two types of measurement data, 7.32 and 7.1, are obtained, the data for the former is 7.32 = 732 (integer part A)
X10”2 (decimal point B), invader data 7.1 = 71
0 (A) xlo-2 (B) Rounded and edited. However, this is the case when P=2, and a common sense value is selected depending on the item, and 10''2 is decimal point information.

It is also possible to further round (convert) the data of the specified item based on the formula below.

X constant 02 Here, I is regular BCD, C1 is real number type BCD → regular BCD, and C2 is real number type BCD → regular 8CD,
Each decimal operation is performed.

The data storage section 3 is composed of various well-known memories, and is for storing the value of the integer part A of the data edited in the form of the product of the integer part A and the decimal point part B as described above. For example, 732 and 710 of the two measurement data
The value of is stored.

In this way, by matching the number of digits in the decimal point part B (for example, 10°2) and then storing the value in the integer part A, data management becomes easy regardless of the inspection method. It is also possible to achieve maximum savings in storage capacity. The second data editing section 4 is configured similarly to the first data editing section 2, and is for editing the data input to the data storage section 3, that is, the value of the integer part A, into a form suitable for output. Based on the rounding formula described above, each test item is edited so that the effective numbers below the decimal point match. For example, the stored data 732 is 732X10-2=7.32, 732
10 is 710x10'=7. ．． Valid decimal places like 10 (edited so that the number of lines matches).

The data edited in this way is output from the data output section 5. The data output section 5 is comprised of a printer or a CRT display, and outputs the edited data in the form of a hard copy or rough copy, and these output data are reported to users such as doctors as report data. Control unit 6
is in charge of overall control operations, and operates to control various operations such as data input, transfer, and output in response to user requests.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

It is assumed that, based on the test item file as shown in FIG. 2, the item TP, for example, is measured for specimen X by two types of test means: an analyzer and a manual method. Assuming that 1q of each data is obtained by each measurement three times as shown in FIG. 3, each of these data is input to the data input section 1. Next, these data are sent to the first data editing section 2.
is edited into the form of the product of the integer part A and the decimal point part B as shown in FIG. In contrast to the decimal point information in FIG. 2, P of the decimal point part B is set to 2, and the third decimal place and below are truncated. Next, the values of only the integer part A of the edited data are separated and stored in the data storage section 3 as shown in FIG. Therefore, measurement data will be stored and managed as integer values. Subsequently, the written data is edited by the second data editing section 4 as shown in FIG. 6 so that the number of significant digits below the decimal point match, and is sent to the data output section 5.

The data output from the data output unit 5 in the form of a soft copy or hard copy is reported to the user as report data. Similar processing is performed for other items, and the necessary data is edited and output.

In this way, according to this embodiment, 1
The measured data is edited by two types of editing departments as inspection data and report data to suit each purpose, making data management easy and providing data with less variation to the user. can do.

The editing contents can be changed in various ways depending on the item.
The degree is determined within a common sense range, so it is set within this range.

[Effect of the invention] As described above, according to the present invention, various input data can be
Since the data is edited in a format suitable for inspection data and report data using a different editing section, data suitable for each purpose can be compiled and data management can be performed easily.
