Provided are a program and personal information protection method which are executed by a system which is operated by a medical practitioner, said program and method comprising: a display process of causing a monitor partto display an examination result screenincluding personal information which identifies a subject; an identification process of identifying the personal information in the examination result screenwhich is displayed in the display process; and an invalidation process of invalidating the personal information identified in the identification process in a captured image which includes the examination result screen. Instances of personal information being displayed in error to outside users are thus reduced in comparison to the prior art, and sharing of examination result information is implemented smoothly.

Display device, information terminal, personal information protection method, program, and recording medium whereon program is recorded

A method for an automatic analyzer to reduce a user's workload required when a reagent is placed therein, and thereby facilitating change of the operation mode of the automatic analyzer. The automatic analyzer including a first reagent storing unit that is capable of storing a plurality of reagent cassettes and a second reagent storing unit that is capable of storing a plurality of reagent cassettes. When the first reagent storing unit does not have empty space for a required reagent, and all reagents required for analysis operation for a selected operation set cannot be completely transferred to the first reagent storing unit, keeping the required reagent waiting in the second reagent storing unit. Further, when the first reagent storing unit is provided with empty space, the required reagent is transferred to the first reagent storing unit.

A specimen rack and a specimen carrier system includes a luminous body disposed on a vicinity of a specimen container loading slot to notify, to an operator, information concerning an analyzing situation and condition of the specimen contained in the specimen container held by the specimen rack.

Specimen rack and specimen carrier system

An automatic analyzer capable of replenishing a reagent even during an analysis and minimizing a suspension of the analysis. The automatic analyzer includes a plurality of reaction cells and a unit for holding reagents used in analyses. A plurality of reagents are dispensed to a sample in each reaction cell with a time difference to develop a reaction, and a liquid after the reaction is measured. After temporarily stopping the operation of dispensing the sample for a preset time during the analysis, the sample dispensing operation is restarted. Then, the sample dispensing operation is temporarily stopped again for the preset time at the timing in the dispensing of the reagent corresponding to the timing at which the sample dispensing operation was temporarily stopped. In the automatic analyzer, therefore, an analysis suspension due to registration and replacement of reagents during the analysis can be minimized, a larger number of reagents can be loaded, and a throughput per unit time can be increased.
