A sample measurement method of performing first measurement for a blood coagulation test and second measurement for a test different from the blood coagulation test includes: dispensing a sample for use in the first measurement into a first container from a sample container; dispensing the sample for use in the second measurement into a second container different from the first container from the sample container from which the sample for use in the first measurement has been dispensed; performing the first measurement based on the sample dispensed into the first container; and performing the second measurement based on the sample dispensed into the second container.

Sample measurement method and sample measurement device

The present invention is a sample processing apparatus. The apparatus includes: a sample processing unit configured to process a sample; a display; a memory for storing an electronic manual for the sample processing apparatus; and a controller that is capable of showing a relevant part of the electronic manual on the display when a trouble has occurred in the sample processing unit, the relevant part of the electronic manual describing an operation procedure to deal with the trouble.

Sample processing apparatus

A specimen analysis system, a specimen analyzer, and a specimen analysis method are provided by which reexamination of a specimen can be executed more quickly than in conventional technology. A specimen analyzer measures a specimen and obtains an analysis result. The specimen analyzer determines the necessity of remeasurement of the specimen, based on a specimen analysis result. Also, the specimen analyzer determines, based on the specimen analysis result, whether or not determination of the necessity of remeasurement of the specimen based on examination information by the examination information management device is necessary. If it is determined that determination of the necessity of remeasurement of the specimen based on the examination information is necessary, the specimen analyzer makes a request to determine the necessity of remeasurement of the specimen based on the examination information, to the examination information management device.

Specimen analysis system, specimen analyzer, and specimen analysis method

Disclosed is a sample analyzer comprising: a measurement unit including a reagent storage capable of holding a plurality of kinds of reagents, the measurement unit configured to measure a sample by use of a plurality of kinds of reagents held in the reagent storage in combination; a memory in which a calibration curve is stored in association with a reagent set used in creation of the calibration curve; and a controller programmed to perform operations, comprising: in a case where no calibration curve corresponding to a reagent set used in measurement of the sample has been stored, storing, in the memory, information indicating that the reagent set used in the measurement of the sample has been used in measurement, and when creating a calibration curve, automatically extracting the reagent set for which no calibration curve has been stored and for which the information has been stored.

Sample analyzer and sample analyzing method

A data management computer for a sample measuring apparatus is disclosed. The computer comprises a data storage, a display section; an input device; and a controller. The data storage stores results of measurements for a sample obtained by the sample measuring apparatus, the measurements including an initial measurement for a sample and a secondary measurement which is performed on the sample following the initial measurement. The controller is programmed to cause the display section to display a first result screen which shows a result of the initial measurement for a sample, receive a predefined operation by use of the input device while displaying the first result screen, and cause the display section to display, in a response to the predefined operation, a second result screen which shows a result of the secondary measurement for the sample.

Data management computer, sample analyzing system, and computer program

A management system connected with a clinical testing apparatus is disclosed. The system acquires, from the clinical testing apparatus, a parameter that varies according to deterioration of the unit at a plurality of points of time, stores the parameters and/or analysis results that are obtained by analyzing the parameters, and provides a screen data for showing the stored parameters and/or the stored analysis results in a time-series format. A method for managing a clinical testing apparatus and a clinical testing system for the method are also disclosed.

Method of managing clinical testing apparatus, clinical testing system, and maintenance management apparatus

A sample processing apparatus includes: a first sample processing unit; a second sample processing unit; and a data processing unit connected to the first and the second sample processing units. The data processing unit includes: a display device; an input device; and a controller configured to show a screen image on the display device, wherein the screen image comprises a shared region which is shared for displaying information of each of the first and the second sample processing units, a first operation section operable by a user to control the first sample processing unit and a second operation section operable by the user to control the second sample processing unit, and control the first sample processing unit in response to an operation of the first operation section, and control the second sample processing unit in response to an operation of the second operation section.
