Description

Diagnostic kit spot inspection device {Apparatus for point of care test of diagnostic kit}

The present invention relates to a point of care test (POCT) device, and more particularly, to examine the reaction between a constant temperature antibody-based immunodiagnosis kit and a sample sample such as blood, It relates to a device that can be quickly diagnosed without a sample pretreatment process such as centrifugation.

As is well known, the diagnostic kit field test device makes it easy to perform the necessary tests anywhere, at home, at work, in sports centers, in ambulances, in battlefields and backcountry.

The main test function is to qualitatively and quantitatively detect many target substances based on antigen-antibody responses. For example, in order to determine pregnancy, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) may be detected qualitatively and quantitatively. In addition, luteinizing hormone (LH: Luteinizing Hormone) can be detected qualitatively and quantitatively in order to determine ovulation. In addition, various drugs (DOA: Drug Of Abuse), infectious diseases, tumor markers, cardiac markers (Cardiac marker) and the like can be detected qualitatively and quantitatively. It can also be used for disease testing of livestock, such as foot and mouth disease, which has been a problem recently.

In the diagnostic kit field test apparatus as described above, conventionally, the following problems are encountered.

First, according to the conventional diagnostic kit on-site inspection device, using a laser diode as an illumination light source to irradiate the diagnostic kit with light of a specific wavelength band, and from the sample using a PMT (Photo Multiplier Tube) element or a photodiode The reflected light is detected to analyze the reaction result.

Therefore, since the total imaging area of the diagnostic kit must be measured while scanning sequentially, the measurement kit takes a long time, a large measurement error occurs during the scanning process, and the same type of diagnostic kits having a positional deviation or There is a great difficulty in measuring various types of diagnostic kits.

Second, the detection results cannot be transmitted to an external host device. For example, in order to urgently transmit the foot-and-mouth disease test results of livestock animals in remote areas or the results of diagnostic kits tested in Ambulance, to a quarantine or a hospital, a separate communication means must be used. Therefore, real-time monitoring and comprehensive analysis cannot be performed in hospitals or quarantines.

Third, the user must input the diagnostic kit information and the like by using the keypad. Therefore, there is a problem that a user's input operation is difficult and various menus cannot be provided.

Fourth, since the operating characteristics of the imaging unit change little by little depending on the period of use, the accuracy of inspection may be reduced.

And fifth, because it is configured for a particular type of diagnostic kit, there is a difficulty in testing various types of diagnostic kits.

Embodiments of the present invention reduce the measurement time, reduce the measurement error according to the positional deviation of the diagnostic kit, enable real-time monitoring and comprehensive analysis in the hospital or quarantine, and facilitate the user input operation, It is intended to provide a diagnostic kit field test device that can provide a menu and increase the accuracy of the test.

The diagnostic kit field test apparatus according to an aspect of the present invention may include a touch display panel, a kit tray, an imaging unit, a communication interface, a kit information storage unit, a result storage unit, and a main control unit.

The touch display panel performs diagnostic information input and diagnostic result display.

The kit tray is loaded with a diagnostic kit from which a diagnostic sample is taken.

The imaging unit photographs the diagnostic sample collected by the diagnostic kit and outputs image data.

The communication interface is provided for communication with the outside.

The kit information storage unit stores information on different types of diagnostic kits.

The result storage unit receives and stores a diagnosis result and outputs the diagnosis result.

The main control unit obtains a series of luminance data from the image data from the image pickup unit while performing overall control according to the diagnostic information input data from the touch panel display, and obtains a peak value or an area value from the obtained series of luminance data. The concentration of the reaction sample of the diagnostic kit is calculated, and the qualitative and quantitative results corresponding to the concentration of the reaction sample of the diagnostic kit are displayed on the touch display panel and transmitted to an external device through the communication interface.

On the other hand, the main control unit may calibrate the imaging unit using the calibration strip as an imaging target before the imaging unit imaging the diagnostic kit.

The apparatus may further include a tray driver configured to drive the kit tray while operating by the main controller, so that a plurality of diagnostic kits may be inserted into the kit tray.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.

First, since a series of luminance data is obtained from the image data from the imaging unit, the total imaging area of the diagnostic kit can be measured by one or several imaging. For reference, even in the case of several imaging, the imaging can be completed in a time of several micro-seconds (μs). Therefore, compared with the conventional scanning method, the measurement time can be reduced, and the measurement error due to the positional deviation of the diagnostic kit can be reduced.

Second, the qualitative and quantitative results corresponding to the concentration of the reaction sample of the diagnostic kit are transmitted to the external device through the communication interface. That is, the diagnosis result may be transmitted to the external host device in real time. For example, foot-and-mouth disease test results in the outback or diagnostic results outside the hospital may be transmitted in real time to a quarantine or hospital via a wireless communication interface. Accordingly, the on-site diagnosis results can be monitored in real time in a hospital or quarantine, and comprehensive analysis of the on-site diagnosis results and prompt follow-up measures can be taken.

Third, since diagnostic information input is performed through the touch display panel, a user's input operation is easy and various menus may be provided to the user.

And fourth, the kit information storage unit for storing information about the different types of diagnostic kits is used, it is possible to diagnose the various types of diagnostic kits and the diagnosis according to the new kit information.

In addition, since the calibration strip is used to calibrate the imaging unit, it is not necessary to use a separate calibration device, and the calibration can be performed immediately before the test of the diagnostic kit, thereby increasing the accuracy of the test.

In addition, a tray driving unit for driving the kit tray is further included, so that a plurality of diagnostic kits are inserted into the kit tray, so that not only the same type of diagnostic kits but also various types of diagnostic kits can be quickly tested.

1 to 3, a diagnostic kit field inspection apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include a touch display panel 101, a kit tray 102, an imaging unit 103, a communication interface 115 and 116, and a kit information storage unit. 112, random access memory (RAM) as a result storage unit 114, and a main control unit 108.

The touch display panel 101 performs diagnostic information input and diagnostic result display. The kit tray 102 is mounted with a diagnostic kit 31 from which a diagnostic sample has been collected. The imaging unit 103 photographs the diagnostic sample collected by the diagnostic kit 31 and outputs image data.

Communication interfaces 115 and 116 are provided for wireless communication with an external, for example, hospital or quarantine officer.

Of course, according to the app program of the smart phone, image data or measured concentration may be transmitted in real time to the smart phone through the wireless communication interface 116.

The kit information storage unit 112 stores information about different types of diagnostic kits.

The result storage unit 114 operating under the control of the main control unit 108, for example, the flash RAM (RAM) receives and stores the diagnostic result from the main control unit 108 and outputs.

The main control unit 108 performs a series of control in accordance with the diagnostic information input data from the touch panel display 101, and performs a series of luminance data (FIG. 6) from the image data (601 of FIG. 6) from the imaging unit 103. 602), calculates the concentration of the reaction sample of the diagnostic kit according to the peak value or the area value (Ip) from the obtained series of luminance data 602, and qualitative and quantitative results corresponding to the concentration of the reaction sample of the diagnostic kit. Is displayed on the touch display panel 101 and transmitted to the external device through the wireless communication interface 115 or the wired communication interface 116.

Therefore, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.

First, since a series of luminance data (602 in FIG. 6) is obtained from image data (601 in FIG. 6) from the imaging unit 103, the total imaging area of the diagnostic kit can be measured by one-time imaging. Therefore, the measurement time is reduced, and the measurement error due to the positional deviation of the diagnostic kit 31 may be reduced.

Second, the qualitative and quantitative results corresponding to the concentration of the reaction sample of the diagnostic kit are transmitted to the external device via the barrel interface, for example, the wireless communication interface 115. That is, the diagnosis result may be transmitted to the external host device in real time. For example, foot-and-mouth disease test results in remote areas may be transmitted in real time to a hospital or quarantine. Accordingly, the on-site diagnosis results can be monitored in real time in a hospital or quarantine, and comprehensive analysis of the on-site diagnosis results can be performed.

Third, since the diagnostic information input is performed through the touch display panel 101, the user's input operation is easy and various menus can be provided to the user.

And fourth, the kit information storage unit 112 for storing information about the different types of diagnostic kit 31 is included, according to the information of the diagnostic kit (see Fig. 5) placed on the kit tray 102, The main control unit 108 calculates the concentration of the reaction sample of the diagnostic kit and obtains qualitative and quantitative results corresponding to the concentration. Therefore, diagnosis of various kinds of diagnostic kits 31 is possible.

For example, in the livestock sector, if the vendor of a diagnostic kit that tests foot-and-mouth disease, influenza testing, bovine virus diarrheal disease (BVD), etc. is different, the kit may have a different shape or size. However, it is possible to measure important test items at once using the information of the pre-input diagnostic kits.

The main controller 108 may update the information stored in the kit information storage unit 12 by comparing the information stored in the external storage device, for example, a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory.

In the present embodiment, the light emitting diodes 109a and 109b, the lighting controller 110, the image storage 111, the program storage 113, a random access memory (RAM) 114, a wired communication interface 116. ), And a barcode reader interface 117.

The lighting controller 110 operating under the control of the main controller 108 controls the light emitting diodes 109a and 109b to irradiate the diagnostic kit 31 with light of a constant illuminance.

The image storage unit 111 stores image data (601 in FIG. 6) from the main control unit 108.

The program storage unit 113 stores the operation program of the main control unit 108.

The wired communication interface 116 may be provided in plurality, and a personal computer (PC) or a printer is connected thereto. When the main control unit 108 communicates with the personal computer (PC) via the wired communication interface 116, the personal computer (PC) analyzes the qualitative and quantitative results corresponding to the concentration of the reaction sample of the diagnostic kit, hospital or quarantine And so on.

The barcode reader interface 117 is connected to a barcode reader for inputting information of diagnostic kits. When the main controller 108 is connected to the barcode reader through the barcode reader interface 117, the user may input the kit information attached to the diagnostic kit 31 to the main controller 108 using the barcode reader. Of course, the user may input kit information or the like into the main controller 108 through the touch display panel 101.

A printer is connected to the printer interface 118 so that output data from the main control unit 108 can be printed.

Meanwhile, the temperature sensor 120 is installed around the kit tray 102 so that the temperature around the diagnostic kit 31 is measured.

In general, antibodies such as capture antibodies or detection antibodies, antigens, gold colloids, and the like used in the diagnostic kit 31 appear to vary in degree of reaction. The test using the diagnostic kit 102 is generally performed at room temperature, but if the foot and mouth disease occurs in cold winter, the test should be performed outdoors. In this case, it is necessary to raise the internal temperature of the diagnostic kit spot test apparatus 1. To this end, it is possible to increase the internal temperature using a separate heater. In addition, when the light source is a light emitting diode (LED), the internal temperature may be raised to a desired point by turning on the light emitting diode (LED) for a predetermined time before diagnosis.

Meanwhile, the kit tray 102 and the diagnostic kit 31 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 8 to 11.

The diagnostic operation of the main control unit 108 of FIG. 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6 as follows.

First, when the user inputs the information of the diagnostic kit through the touch display panel 101 or the barcode reader (step S401), the main controller 108 retrieves the information of the diagnostic kit of the input number from the kit information storage 112. Then, it loads into the RAM 114 (step S402).

The kit information stored in the kit information storage unit 112 is used to adjust the reference data for the position information 502 of the region of interest corresponding to the diagnostic kit number 501 and the series of luminance data. Coefficients 504, qualitative reference information 505, and quantitave criteria used in the calculation of concentration by substituting an offset 503, a peak luminance Ip, or an area value. Information 506 and the like.

Next, if the kit tray (102 in FIGS. 1 and 2) has been retracted by the user (step S403), the main control unit 108 controls the imaging unit 103 to obtain the image data 601 (step S404).

Next, according to the positional information 502 of the region of interest included in the information of the diagnostic kit 31 (see FIG. 5), the main controller 108 stores a series of luminance data (from the image data 601 of the region of interest). 602) is obtained (step S405).

The image data 601 of the ROI is two-dimensional, but the series of luminance data is one-dimensional (see FIG. 6). Accordingly, the luminance data is summed for each column to obtain a series of luminance data 602.

Next, the main control section 108 reflects the offset and coefficient information 503 and 504 included in the information (see FIG. 5) of the diagnostic kit 31, and is the leading among the series of luminance data 602. The concentration of the reaction sample of the diagnostic kit according to the (peak) value Ip is calculated (step S406).

Next, the main control unit 108 obtains the qualitative and quantitative results corresponding to the concentrations according to the qualitative and quantitative reference information 505 and 506 included in the information (see FIG. 5) of the diagnostic kit 31. (Step S407).

The main controller 108 displays the qualitative and quantitative results corresponding to the concentration of the reaction sample of the diagnostic kit on the touch display panel 101 and hosts a hospital or quarantine as an external device through the wireless communication interface 115. Send to the device (step S408). Of course, the qualitative and quantitative results may be transmitted through the wired communication interface 115, for example, RS-232C or USB.

All the above steps are repeatedly performed until the end signal is generated (step S409).

FIG. 7 shows an internal configuration of the wireless communication interface 115 of FIG. 3.

3 and 7, the wireless communication interface 115 of FIG. 3 includes a digital-to-analog converter 71, a modulator 72, a circulator 73, a transmit / receive antenna 74, and a demodulator ( 75, and analog-to-digital converter 76.

The digital-analog converter 71 converts the digital transmission signal from the main controller 108 into a baseband analog transmission signal.

The modulator 72 converts an analog transmission signal from the digital-to-analog converter 71 into a radio frequency (RF) signal, for example, through an circulator 73 and a transmit / receive antenna 74, for example. Send to host device, such as hospital or quarantine.

The circulator 73 outputs an input signal from the modulator 72 to the transmit / receive antenna 74, and inputs an input signal from the transmit / receive antenna 74 to the demodulator 75.

The demodulator 75 restores radio frequency (RF) received signals from the transmit / receive antenna 74 and the circulator 73 to baseband analog received signals.

The analog-digital converter 76 converts the baseband analog received signal from the demodulator 75 into a digital received signal and inputs it to the main controller 108.

8 is a perspective view illustrating a first example of the kit tray 102 and the diagnostic kit 31 of FIG. 3. In FIG. 8, reference numeral 102a indicates a kit tray of the first example, and reference numeral 31a indicates a diagnostic kit of the first example, respectively.

3 and 8, calibration strips 821 and 822 are provided on the tray support 81a for calibrating the imaging section 103 as a standard imaging target.

9 is a perspective view illustrating a second example of the kit tray 102 and the diagnostic kit 31 of FIG. 3. In Fig. 9, reference numeral 102b indicates a kit tray of the second example, and reference numeral 31b indicates a diagnostic kit of the second example, respectively.

3 and 9, calibration strips 821 and 822 are attached to one side or both sides of the kit tray 102b of the second example to calibrate the imaging unit 103 as a standard imaging target. In addition, calibration strips 821 and 822 may be attached to a separate calibration kit of the same shape as the diagnostic kit.

3, 8 and 9, calibration strips 821 and 822 are provided adjacent to the imaging target region. Such calibration strips 821 and 822 are printed with at least one strip line defining two white bodies (two in this embodiment).

Accordingly, luminance is obtained by imaging any strip line, and the imaging unit 103 is calibrated according to the difference between the obtained luminance and the reference luminance. For example, when the obtained luminance is lower than the reference luminance, the sensitivity is reset so that the luminance of the image data from the imaging unit 103 becomes higher as a whole.

Further, by comparing the luminance of the white partitions other than the strip lines of the calibration strips 821 and 822 with each other, the sensitivity is reset for each zone so that the sensitivity according to the imaging position of the imaging unit 103 becomes uniform as a result.

In this way, since the calibration strips 821 and 822 are used together with the kit tray to calibrate the imaging unit 103, there is no need to use a separate calibration device, and the calibration is performed just before the inspection of the diagnostic kit 31. This can increase the accuracy of the inspection.

FIG. 10 is a plan view illustrating a third example of the kit tray 102 and the diagnostic kit 31 of FIG. 3. FIG. 11 is a side view of the third example of FIG. 10.

The same reference numerals in FIGS. 10 and 11 indicate the objects of the same function. 10 and 11, reference numeral 102c denotes a kit tray of the third example, and reference numerals 31c to 31e denote the diagnostic kits of the third example, respectively.

A plurality of diagnostic kits 31c to 31e may be inserted into the battery. Here, the plurality of diagnostic kits 31c to 31e may be of the same type or different types.

The tray driver 10M, 10c, 10T, P1, P2 includes a motor 10M, a connecting member 10c, a timing belt 10T, a first pulley P1 and a second pulley P2.

The motor 10M rotates under the control of the main control unit 108.

The timing belt 10T is connected between the first pulley P1 and the second pulley P2.

The connecting member 10c couples one side of the kit tray 102c and the timing belt 10T with a portion.

As the motor 10M rotates, the first pulley P1 rotates, so that the second pulley P2 and the timing belt 10T also rotate. Accordingly, the kit tray 102c can also reciprocate on the guide rail 10G. Of course, a ball screw may be used instead of the timing belt 10T to reciprocate the kit tray 102c.

Accordingly, since the plurality of diagnostic kits 31c to 31e may be inserted into the kit tray 102c and sequentially tested, various types of diagnostic kits as well as the same type of diagnostic kits may be quickly tested.

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.

For reference, even in the case of several imaging, the imaging can be completed in a time of several micro-seconds (μs). Therefore, compared with the conventional scanning method, the measurement time can be reduced, and the measurement error due to the positional deviation of the diagnostic kit can be reduced.

Second, the qualitative and quantitative results corresponding to the concentration of the reaction sample of the diagnostic kit are transmitted to the external device through the communication interface. That is, the diagnosis result may be transmitted to the external host device in real time. For example, foot-and-mouth disease test results in the outback or diagnostic results outside the hospital may be transmitted in real time to a quarantine or hospital via a wireless communication interface. Accordingly, the on-site diagnosis results can be monitored in real time in a hospital or quarantine, and comprehensive analysis of the on-site diagnosis results and prompt follow-up measures can be taken.
