Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform analytical measurement preferentially from a most necessary item, by adding a means for arbitrarily setting and controlling the measuring order of each measuring item from the outside. CONSTITUTION:A multi-item automatic analyser 1 analyzes and measures each measuring item under the control of a measuring order memory/control mechanism 2 in the measuring order stored in the memory part of said mechanism 2. In this case, the measuring order stored in the mechanism can be freely rewritten to the data of the measuring order imparted from the measuring order memory apparatus 5 of an external apparatus 4 through an external apparatus connection mechanism 3. The collected measuring item at every specimn and the information of the measuring order are inputted to the memory apparatus 5 to be stored therein.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a multi-item automatic analyzer used for specimen testing in the medical field.

[Background of the invention]

This is because conventional multi-item automatic analyzers of this type have a fixed or semi-fixed measurement order for test items.

Changing the measurement order is either impossible or difficult.

However, this multi-item automatic analyzer requires a large amount of sample in order to obtain the desired analysis results. Therefore,
Even in the case of children or patients for whom a large amount of specimen cannot be obtained, when analytical measurements are performed in a predetermined order, a shortage of specimen occurs during the measurement.

A situation arises in which the most needed item cannot be measured.

[Purpose of the invention]

An object of the present invention is to provide a multi-item automatic analyzer that can analyze and measure the most necessary items first.

[Summary of the invention]

The present invention adds means for arbitrarily setting and controlling the measurement order of each measurement item from the outside.

□ [Embodiment of the Invention] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

The first @ is an overall block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention, in which a multi-item automatic analysis bag M1 stores each measurement item under the control of a measurement order memory/control mechanism 2 in a storage section of this mechanism 2. Analyze and measure in the measurement order stored in .

In this case, the measurement order stored in the mechanism 2 is stored in the external bag via the external device connection mechanism 3. [4] It is possible to freely rewrite the measurement order data given from the measurement order storage device 5.

External device! 4 is specifically constituted by a computer system, and the measurement order storage device 5 is a magnetic disk 'a! It consists of a magnetic tape device, a floppy disk device, and information on the measurement items and order of measurement for each sample (1°2.3...N) collected from each patient (this information is based on the doctor's instructions). ) is input and stored in the storage device 6 using a keyboard, mark card, etc. FIG. 2 shows this storage situation. Here, the order of measurement items and is stored in each address of the storage unit w6 assigned in order of specimen number. Specimen number 2 is at address 2.
Information on the sample is stored, and the measurement item is A.

There are 6 items: B, C, D, E, F, and the measurement order is F,
It is stored that the order is C, A, D, B, E.

This information is sent to the external device connection mechanism 3 before starting measurement.
The data is stored in the storage section of the control mechanism 2 via. in this case,
When the control mechanism 2 stores only information for one sample, 1
Every time the measurement of one specimen is completed, information on the next specimen is sent from the storage section r15 to the control mechanism 2. Note that if the control mechanism 2 has a storage capacity for multiple samples, information for multiple samples may be sent at once.

FIG. 3 shows the measurement situation of the present invention.

For the first sample, three items are measured in the order of A, B, and D.

For the second sample, six items are measured in the order of F, C, A, D, B, and E. In this case, assume that the amount of sample was small. However, since it is measured in priority order, the most necessary three are F, C, and A.
This means that the item was able to be measured at least.

In this way, the priority order of measurement items can be specified for each sample, even when there are few samples.

Necessary measurement data can be obtained in priority order.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention.

Analytical measurements can be performed on each of a large number of samples in the specified priority order, and even when there is only a small amount of sample, the necessary data can be obtained in the specified priority order.
Demonstrates excellent effectiveness when measuring specimens from pediatric patients.
