The objective of the present invention is to provide a remote control method which allows a technician, etc. in a support center to remote-control a clinical specimen processing device, and a remote control system, a status informing device and a control apparatus used for such a method. The remote control method of the present invention, which is a remote control method for remote-controlling the clinical specimen processing device that processes a clinical specimen, is designed so that an image of the clinical specimen processing device is picked up by an image pickup device, and the image picked up by the image pickup device is supplied to a control apparatus located at a remote place from the clinical specimen processing device through a communication network so that the picked-up image is displayed on the control apparatus.

Remote control method, remote control system, status informing device and control apparatus

Remote control system

The clinical specimen processing apparatus is provided with a discharge pipette and supply pipette for staining in conjunction a blood smear sample preparation operation, a top sensor for detecting whether or not the operations of raising the discharge pipette and supply pipette are performed normally, and a controller for re-executing the operations of raising the discharge pipette and supply pipette based on the top sensor detecting that the operations of raising the discharge pipette and supply pipette are not performed normally.

Clinical specimen processing apparatus

A particle analyzer includes a detection section to detect a parameter representative of characteristics of particles in a sample, a processing section to process the detected parameter, and an output section to output a result obtained by the processing section, wherein the processing section includes a distribution diagram producing section to produce a distribution diagram based on the parameter detected by the detection section, an area storing section to store a predetermined reference pattern beforehand, and a control section to permit the output section to output the reference pattern in addition to the distribution diagram.
