Abstract

PURPOSE:To automatically analyze examination items related to an asked item even if there is no asking for examination so as to display the data together with the asked examination item data. CONSTITUTION:Asked items are input and stored in an MPU via an examination application 1 or a keyboard 2 prior to examination. When an asked item is specified, the MPU selects a group of related items corresponding to the asked item from a group of registered related items, and issues a command for performing examination and analysis tasks based on the selected related item group in parallel with analysis of the asked item. In addition to the asked item data which has been analyzed, data of the related items is simultaneously printed. Or the data is stored in the MPU storage. The MPU automatically selects and analyzes related items to only an asked item which is determined to be abnormal from analysis and examination of the asked items, and does not examine the related items for an asked item which is determined to be normal.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic analyzer for performing biochemical analysis and immunological analysis, and in particular, it can automatically perform a test related to a test item requested for a test without a test request. The present invention relates to an automatic analyzer having a function of analyzing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, various types of automatic analyzers for biochemical and immunological analyzes have been proposed. It is programmed to analyze only the inspection items specified in the request form, etc., and is configured not to inspect the items for which there is no inspection request.

However, in blood tests, it is often the case that an abnormality cannot be identified only by the test items requested for testing.
In addition, depending on the patient's medical history, it is often difficult to determine whether the test value is normal or abnormal unless other related items are referenced, and the problem that the reliability of the analysis value is insufficient is raised. Had.

The present invention was devised in view of the present situation, and its purpose is to provide an inspection item (hereinafter referred to as a request item) related to an inspection item for which an inspection is requested (hereinafter referred to as a related item). It is intended to provide an automatic analyzer having a function of automatically analyzing the data) and showing the data together with the inspection item data for which the inspection is requested.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, in the automatic analyzer according to the present invention, a function of automatically analyzing the inspection of the related item corresponding to the requested item without requesting the inspection. It is characterized by being provided with. In the present invention, the related items include not only test items whose physiological correlation is clear, but also test items designated by the test requestee as being related.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings.

Although not shown, the automatic analyzer according to this embodiment dispenses a required amount of blood (serum) sample from a sample cup into a reaction container, as in various conventionally proposed automatic analyzers. After that, in the sample in the reaction vessel,
A reagent corresponding to the requested item is dispensed to cause a color reaction, and the coloration state is optically colorimetrically measured to quantitatively analyze the target substance in the sample.

The automatic sampler device, sampling pipette device, reaction container transfer device, reagent container transfer device, reagent pipette device, optical measuring device, reaction container cleaning device, display device such as CRT, etc. The control device for controlling the driving of the printer and the like in a linked manner is composed of, for example, a known microprocessor (MPU).

As shown in FIG. 1, the control device inputs and saves request items via the inspection request form 1 or the keyboard 2 prior to the inspection, and when the request items are input, the control device controls the control device. The device selects a related item group corresponding to the requested item from the related item group registered in advance,
It is programmed to issue a command to perform the inspection analysis work based on this selected related item group in parallel with the requested item analysis work, and in addition to the requested item data for which the analysis work has ended, the related inspection items. It is programmed to print out data at the same time, or record and store each of these data in the storage unit of an FD, an IC card or a microprocessor.

The control device is programmed so as to automatically select and analyze the related items related to only the requested items determined to be "abnormal" from the analytical inspections of the requested item group. It is programmed not to inspect related items with respect to the requested items determined to be “normal”. Of course, the controller can be programmed to analyze all related items corresponding to all requested items. Further, by registering a medical history of the blood sample in the control device in advance, all related test items corresponding to the medical history can be automatically selected and analyzed. Of course, the related items selected by this control device can be arbitrarily designated by the requestee / inspection side.

Since each step of various inspection / analysis processing designated by the control device and the drive control method of each mechanism based thereon are the same as those of various known automatic analysis devices,
The detailed description is omitted here.

[0012]

As described above, the automatic analyzer according to the present invention is configured to have a function of automatically analyzing the related item inspection related to the requested item even without the inspection request. Even if an abnormality cannot be identified only by the inspection item requested for inspection, it is possible to make a more accurate determination by referring to the data value of the related item, and to easily make a determination based on the patient's medical history. Therefore, there is an excellent effect that the reliability of the inspection can be significantly improved.
