Abstract

An automatic analyzer and an automatic analyzing system to identify samples and reagents used in the analyzer and members used in measurement of at least two objects in common: system reagents or buffer solution; sensor parts; probes; nozzles; chips; dispensing cups; tubes; ISE electrodes; detectors; deionized water; and waste, and to unify management of identification information thereof and a measurement result.

Claims (16)

1. An automatic analyzer for measuring samples, said automatic analyzer comprising:

a reaction site on which a reaction container is arranged;

a sample pipettor for pipetting a sample into said reaction container;

a reagent disk on which reagent bottles are arranged;

a reagent pipettor for pipetting a reagent into said reaction container;

a light source irradiating a light to said reaction container;

a photometer for detecting a light passing through said reaction container to measure said sample being analyzed;

plural kinds of consumables used in common to measure at least two samples, said plural kinds of consumables include at least two selected from a group including system sensor parts, probes, nozzles, chips, dispensing cups, tubes, ISE electrodes, and detectors,

an information storing unit for storing consumable information of said plural kinds of consumables, said consumable information being stored in said information storing unit by each analysis item, each measurement condition, and each measuring time;

a display for displaying a measurement result; and

a computer having a program for executing the steps of:

a normal/abnormal judging step for judging whether a measurement result is abnormal or not,

a searching step for searching said consumable information of plural kinds of consumables stored in said information storing unit to find consumables used to measure a sample whose measurement result is judged to be abnormal,

a display step for displaying a sample judged to be abnormal and said consumable information of said consumables used in common to measure said sample judged to be abnormal on said display, when plural measurement results of said sample are judged to be abnormal in said normal/abnormal judging step, said sample being associated with said consumable information on said display,

wherein said steps are stored in said information storing unit.

2. The automatic analyzer according to claim 1 , wherein said display displays a list of a measurement result determined to be abnormal and the identification information of consumables used in the measurement.
