An analysis device according to the present disclosure, which obtains data about a sample, is characterized by comprising: a placement unit on which the sample is placed; a data obtaining unit which obtains data about the sample; a user interface unit which allows a user to make access to processing of the analysis device; a communication unit which communicates with an online authentication unit that authenticates the user online; an offline authentication unit which authenticates the user offline when the communication unit cannot communicate with the online authentication unit; and a restriction unit which restricts the processing accessible to the user when the user is authenticated by the offline authentication unit as compared to when the user is authenticated by the online authentication unit.

Analysis device and authentication method

The automatic analyzer includes a sample storage section for accommodating a plurality of samples, a reagent storage section for accommodating a plurality of reagents, an analysis section for carrying out an analysis by reacting the sample with the reagent, a display, a storage section for storing a setting of an operation item to be automatically executed, which is effective only at restarting, and a control section which displays a screen for setting the operation item to be automatically executed upon acceptance of power shutdown operation by an operator during the analysis on the display to accept the setting from the operator, and automatically executes or omits execution of the operation item to be automatically executed, which has been set by the operator in accordance with the setting read from the storage section at the restarting.

Automatic analyzer

The automatic analyzer includes: a device state managing unit that manages a device state of the automatic analyzer; an abnormality detecting unit that detects abnormality of the automatic analyzer based on information of the device state managed by the device state managing unit and a predetermined reference; an alarm planning unit that plans at least two alarms including an abnormality occurrence alarm and an handling available alarm regarding each of abnormality items detected by the abnormality detecting unit, the abnormality occurrence alarm being planned for notification to a user in a case where the abnormality occurs, and the handling available alarm being planned for notification to the user in a case where the automatic analyzer is in a device state where the automatic analyzer is available for handling the abnormality; and a notifying unit that notifies the alarms planned by the alarm planning unit.

An automatic analyzer configured to automatically prevent interruption of an analysis owing to water shortage in use includes a plurality of analysis sections using water supplied from the outside, an operation section for giving operation instructions to the analysis sections, and a control section executing a program for controlling operations of the analysis sections. The control section switches maintenance using water between simultaneous execution and time difference execution for all the analysis sections in accordance with an instruction input through the operation section.
