Next, the operation of the embodiment of FIG. 1 will be described with reference to the flow chart of FIG. A case of performing a blood test will be described as an example. If the patient is the first visit, the memory card is given to the patient. The patient receives the examination by the doctor in the examination room, and the doctor writes the examination request item in the memory card of the patient. A blood sampling instruction note is issued along with the writing to the memory card. When the patient is a return visit, the scheduled examination information is read from the memory card brought by the patient upon reception, and the blood sampling instruction is issued by reading the memory card.

The patient goes to the blood collection room together with the memory card with the blood collection instruction sheet. In the blood collection room, personal test data (a chart number, a test request item, a previous test value, etc.) is read from the memory card, the data is sent to the test system, and a sample barcode label is issued. The sample barcode label is put on the blood collection tube, and the sample collected from the patient is put in the blood collection tube. The labeled blood collection tube is sent to the inspection system in the inspection room and inspected by the automatic analyzer. At the time of inspection, the reason why the previous inspection value is read and used is to check the replacement of the sample.
