The specimen analyzer includes: an input unit which receives an input of subject attribute information; an analysis unit which performs measurement of a specimen collected from a subject, and which performs analysis of the specimen based on a measurement result and the subject attribute information received by the input unit; and a controller which causes the analysis unit to be incapable of analyzing the specimen unless the input of the subject attribute information is performed with the input unit.

Specimen analyzer and specimen analysis method

A specimen analyzer includes: an analysis unit which analyzes a specimen collected from a subject and generates an analysis result including a component amount in the specimen; an output unit which outputs the analysis result; and a controller which causes the output unit to output or not to output the component amount based on a comparison between the component amount and a determination reference value.

Specimen analyzer and specimen analysis method for controlling an output of a target component in an abnormal range to prevent erroneous diagnosis

This specimen analyzer includes: an analysis unit which analyzes a specimen collected from a subject; a manual input unit which receives an input of information by manual operation; an information read unit which receives an input of information by reading an information record section provided in a consumable; and a controller which does not permit an input of information on the consumable with the manual input unit, and permits an input of the information on the consumable with the information read unit.

An analyzer for measuring a sample includes a display, measurement hardware configured to perform a quality control measurement on a vial containing a quality control (QC) sample, and a controller. The controller is in communication with the display and the measurement hardware and is configured to communicate, via the display, instructions to implement a QC measurement on a first vial containing a first QC sample. If a result of the QC measurement is within a pre-determined range the first vial passes the QC measurement. If the result of the QC measurement is not within the pre-determined range the first vial fails the QC measurement. If the first vial fails the QC measurement and if a number of times the first vial fails the QC measurement is less than a predetermined number, the controller is configured to communicate, via the display, instructions to repeat the QC measurement on the first vial.

Hematology analyzer, method, and system for quality control measurements

This specimen analyzer includes: an analysis unit which analyzes a specimen collected from a subject; a print unit which prints on a print sheet; a display unit which displays an operation screen; and a controller which performs control of causing the print unit to print an analysis result of the analysis unit, and prohibiting the display unit from displaying the analysis result.

An analyzer includes a display, measurement hardware configured to perform a measurement on a sample, and a controller. The controller is in communication with the display and the measurement hardware and is configured to communicate, via the display, a first pre-analytical procedure of the sample prior to measurement of the sample. The controller is also configured to maintain the analyzer in a state associated with the first procedure for an amount of time equal to a time needed for performing the first procedure. After the time needed for performing the first procedure has elapsed, the controller is configured to communicate, via the display, a second pre-analytical procedure of the sample prior to measurement of the sample.

Analyzer, and method for performing a measurement on a sample

An analyzing system includes an analyzer and a server computer in communication with the analyzer via a network. The analyzer includes a first controller that is configured to communicate, via a display, instructions to an operator of the analyzer when a predetermined event occurs in the analyzer. The instructions request confirmation that the operator received training. The first controller is also configured to receive an indication of whether the operator has completed the training, and, when the indication indicates that the operator has completed the training, request, from the server, a confirmation that the operator has completed the training. The server computer is configured to receive the confirmation request from the analyzer, determine a training status of the operator, and communicate the training status to the analyzer. The first controller prevents measurement of a sample if the operator has not completed the training.
