Labeling device for automatic test-tube setting-up device

Abstract

Provided is a labeling device for an automatic test-tube setting-up device wherein an identification label can be pasted over a product label with a sample structure. A labeling device for an automatic blood-sampling-tube setting-up device comprises a means for taking out a blood-sampling tube based on patient information and supporting the blood-sampling tube at a labeling position, a blood-sampling tube driving means for rotary driving the blood-sampling tube at the labeling position, a label printing means for creating an identification label by printing test information and / or patient information and outputting the identification label to the labeling position, a product label position detecting means for detecting the edge of a product label previously pasted to the outer surface of the blood-sampling tube, and a controller for controlling the operation of the label printing means and the blood-sampling tube driving means such that the identification label is pasted over the product label with a continuous gap left in the axial direction of the blood-sampling tube on the outer surface of a blood-sampling tube based on information about the diameter of a blood-sampling tube corresponding to the blood-sampling tube at the labeling position, and information about the edge of the product label obtained from the product label position detecting means.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to an improved labeling machine for automatic preparation of blood collection tubes for one or more blood collection tubes per patient prior to blood collection. Background technique

[0002] Conventionally, in order to efficiently and reliably automatically prepare one or more blood collection tubes for each patient before collecting blood, an automatic blood collection tube preparation apparatus has been proposed. The preparation device automatically selects the blood collection tubes required for examining the patient based on the information related to a patient, including examination information and patient information, and prints the examination information and patient ID corresponding to the patient on the label to An identification label is made, the identification label is automatically pasted on the outer surface of the selected blood collection tube, and then one or more blood collection tubes with the identific...
