Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of sample analyzers, and more specifically to a method, device, storage medium, and sample analyzer for setting reagent position information. Background Art

[0002] As essential testing equipment in hospital laboratories, sample analyzers are subject to increasingly stringent requirements for efficiency in clinical use. To improve instrument automation and enhance testing efficiency, some sample analyzers utilize a reagent tray that automatically scans barcodes on reagent bottles. This device automatically recognizes the barcodes on the reagent bottles located in the reagent tray, enabling control over reagent loading. However, due to design requirements, some fully automatic sample analyzers do not automatically recognize the barcodes on the reagent trays, requiring users to manually set the reagent information for the reagent trays in the application software, resulting in inconvenience.

[0003] In addition, for sample analyzers that do not support automatic recognition of reagent bottle barcodes, it is usually necessary to install a reagent bottle identification device (such as a sensor) on the reagent position to make up for this deficiency in the automated process. That is, use an external handheld barcode scanner to scan the barcode on the reagent bottle, and then place the reagent bottle into the reagent position of the analyzer. After the reagent position recognizes the reagent bottle, it binds the parsed information with the position information to complete the function of setting the reagent position information. Although this method achieves the expected function, it still requires the design of the instrument due to the need for a reagent bottle identification device. Therefore, a complete method has not yet been formed to achieve the setting of the reagent position information without placing requirements on the instrument design, that is, to achieve the binding of reagent information and reagent position information. Summary of the Invention

The preferred embodiments of the present application are described in detail below. However, in addition to these detailed descriptions, the present application may also have other implementation methods.

[0030] First, refer to Figure 1 An exemplary electronic device 100 for implementing the reagent position information setting method and apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the electronic device 100 includes one or more processors 102, one or more storage devices 104, an input device 106, and an output device 108, which are interconnected via a bus system 110 and / or other forms of connection mechanisms (not shown). It should be noted that Figure 1 The components and structure of the electronic device 100 shown are merely exemplary and non-limiting. The electronic device may also have other components and structures as needed.

[0032] The processor 102 may be a central processing unit (CPU) or other forms of processing units with data processing capabilities and / or instruction execution capabilities, and may control other components in the electronic device 100 to perform desired functions.

[0033] The storage device 104 may include one or more computer program products, which may include various forms of computer-readable storage media, such as volatile memory and / or non-volatile memory. The volatile memory may include, for example, random access memory (RAM) and / or cache memory.

Various applications and various data may also be stored in the computer-readable storage medium, such as various data used and / or generated by the application.

[0034] The input device 106 may be a device used by a user to input instructions (for example, in the reagent position information setting method according to an embodiment of the present invention described below, a user may input characters associated with measurement parameters), and may include one or more of a keyboard, a mouse, a microphone, and a touch screen. Furthermore, the input device 106 may also be any interface for receiving information.

[0035] The output device 108 can output various information to the outside (eg, a user), and can include one or more of a display, a speaker, etc. In addition, the output device 108 can also be any other device with an output function.

[0036] For example, an example electronic device for implementing the reagent position information setting method and apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention may be implemented as a terminal such as a desktop computer, a tablet computer, or a medical system including these terminals (such as a sample analyzer).

[0037] Below, we will refer to Figure 2 The reagent position information setting method 200 according to one embodiment of the present application is described. Figure 2 As shown, the reagent position information setting method 200 may include the following steps:

[0038] In step S210, the barcode information of the reagent bottle to be placed on the reagent position of the sample analyzer is obtained, and the barcode information is parsed to obtain reagent information associated with the reagent in the reagent bottle. The barcode information is obtained by scanning the barcode of the reagent bottle with a barcode scanner outside the sample analyzer.

[0039] In an embodiment of the present application, a barcode scanner external to a sample analyzer (such as a coagulation analyzer) can first be used to scan the barcode on the reagent bottle at the reagent position to be placed in the sample analyzer to obtain the barcode information on the reagent bottle. Here, the "barcode scanner external to the sample analyzer" can be understood as a barcode scanner external to the sample analyzer, that is, the barcode scanner itself is not a component of the sample analyzer, but is externally connected to the sample analyzer through a certain interface. In this example, the sample analyzer may include an interface for an external device, and the barcode scanner external to the sample analyzer is externally connected to the sample analyzer via the interface. Alternatively, the "barcode scanner external to the sample analyzer" can also be understood as an external connection to a computing device equipped with sample analysis application software, such as an external connection to a computer case equipped with sample analysis application software.

[0040] An external barcode scanner can be used to scan the barcode information of the reagent bottle to be placed in the reagent position of the sample analyzer. This barcode information can be parsed to obtain reagent information associated with the reagent in the bottle. For example, if the reagent in the bottle is blood, the associated reagent information is parameter information associated with the blood in the bottle. Based on this reagent information, the reagent information can be bound to the reagent position information, as described in the following steps.

[0041] In step S220, the reagent information is displayed to the user, and an instruction from the user to set a reagent position corresponding to the reagent bottle based on the reagent information is received. In response to the instruction set by the user, the reagent information is bound to the reagent position information of the reagent position set by the user.

[0042] In an embodiment of the present application, the reagent information of the reagent in the reagent bottle obtained by parsing in step S210 can be displayed to the user. Based on the reagent information, the user can set the reagent position corresponding to the reagent bottle through certain instructions. Based on the instruction, the reagent information of the reagent in the reagent bottle can be bound to the reagent position information of the reagent position corresponding to the reagent bottle. Among them, the reagent position information refers to the position information of the reagent position corresponding to the reagent bottle (the reagent bottle may have been placed in the reagent position or may be waiting to be placed in the reagent position). The binding of the reagent information and the reagent position information can be understood as associating / corresponding / mapping the reagent information in the reagent bottle with the position information of the reagent position corresponding to the reagent bottle.

[0043] Wherein, in one embodiment, the display of reagent information can include a real-time display mode, and the real-time display mode is: each time the bar code information of a reagent bottle is parsed, the reagent information associated with the reagent in the reagent bottle is displayed in real time, and a countdown is started to remind the user to set the reagent position within the countdown time. This display method reminds the user to set the reagent position of the reagent bottle by means of a countdown each time the bar code of the reagent bottle is parsed, and a real-time binding operation of the reagent information and the reagent position information can be achieved. In a further embodiment of this embodiment, after the countdown time ends, the reagent information automatically becomes invalid and is automatically deleted. In this embodiment, the display and storage of unnecessary reagent information (i.e., binding has been completed or no binding is required or other erroneous operations, etc.) can be reduced while achieving real-time binding operations, thereby avoiding interference or other impacts on the display and operation of subsequent useful information.

[0044] In another embodiment, the display of reagent information can include a batch display mode, wherein the batch display mode is: after batch parsing the barcode information of multiple reagent bottles, the reagent information associated with each of the reagents in the multiple reagent bottles is displayed in batches, so that the user can input the setting instructions for the reagent position of each of the multiple reagent bottles one by one. In this embodiment, after parsing all the current barcode information, the corresponding reagent information is displayed in a certain order (for example, in chronological order). Based on the list of reagent information, the user can set the reagent position of each reagent bottle one by one. This batch display mode is conducive to improving operational efficiency. In a further embodiment of this embodiment, after completing the binding of reagent information and reagent position information, the reagent information obtained by parsing can be cleared to avoid interfering with the binding of subsequent reagent bottle reagent information and reagent position information or occupying storage space.

[0045] The two display modes described above are merely exemplary. It should be understood that the display mode for displaying reagent information may also include any other suitable display mode, and an appropriate display mode may be set or selected based on different application scenarios. Furthermore, the display mode for displaying reagent information may be pre-set (e.g., having a default display operation) or user-selectable (e.g., including multiple display modes for user selection).

[0046] Based on the display of reagent information, the user can input a setting instruction for the reagent position of the reagent bottle. In one embodiment, the setting of the reagent position may include an icon setting mode, wherein each reagent position is simulated and displayed in the form of an icon, so that the user can input the setting instruction for the reagent position by clicking on it. In this embodiment, each reagent position is simulated and displayed in the form of an icon, and the user can click on the corresponding icon to set the reagent position corresponding to the reagent bottle. This method is simple to operate and easy to implement.

[0047] In another embodiment, the reagent position setting may include an edit setting mode, wherein the edit setting mode receives reagent position information input by the user to set the reagent position corresponding to the reagent bottle. In this embodiment, the user manually enters the reagent position information to set the reagent position corresponding to the reagent bottle. This method is also simple to operate and easy to implement.

[0048] The above two setting modes are merely exemplary. It should be understood that the setting mode for the reagent position may also include any other suitable setting mode, and suitable setting modes may be provided according to different application scenarios. Furthermore, the display mode for the reagent information and the setting mode for the reagent position may be arbitrarily combined in the aforementioned modes (or other possible modes) to achieve convenient, efficient, and highly reliable reagent position information setting. For example, in an embodiment of a combination of batch display mode and icon setting mode, the user can click on the reagent position icon on the interface and select the reagent information in the reagent information list that pops up to bind the reagent information with the reagent position information. After all selection operations are completed, click the Save button to complete the reagent position information setting function. Similarly, the operation of the embodiment of the combination of real-time display mode and icon setting mode, the operation of the embodiment of the combination of real-time display mode and edit setting mode, the operation of the embodiment of the combination of batch display mode and edit setting mode, and the operation of any other suitable embodiment of the combination of reagent information display mode and reagent position setting mode can be understood based on the previous description, and no further examples will be given here.

[0049] In one embodiment of the present invention, the reagent position bound to the reagent position information may correspond to a static reagent tray of a sample analyzer, where each reagent position on the static reagent tray is fixed. In this embodiment, the reagent tray is static, and each reagent position on the reagent tray is fixed. In other embodiments, the reagent position bound to the reagent position information may also correspond to a dynamic reagent tray of a sample analyzer, or any other reagent position of a sample analyzer.

[0050] Reference below Figure 3 Describes an exemplary interface diagram after binding reagent information and reagent position information using the reagent position information setting method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the upper left area shows the reagent positions of the diluent in the normal temperature area. Since the number of reagent positions of the diluent in the normal temperature area is small (in Figure 3 In the example shown, only four are shown, so they can be easily identified without numbering (this is for illustrative purposes only). The center area on the left shows different colors representing different reagent types. For example, the left color represents the trigger reagent, the middle color represents mixed reagent 1, and the right color represents mixed reagent 2. The lower area on the left shows specific reagent information, including measurement items, reagent type, reagent batch number, etc. (this is for illustrative purposes only).

[0051] Continue to refer Figure 3 , the right area shows the reagent positions in the refrigeration zone. As shown in the figure, the reagent corresponding to the reagent position numbered 5 is FDP, and the remaining amount is 532; the reagent corresponding to the reagent position numbered 12 is D_D, and the remaining amount is 211; the reagent corresponding to the reagent position numbered 24 is needle wash solution, and the remaining amount is 456; the reagent corresponding to the reagent position numbered 11 is D_D, and the remaining amount is 52; the reagent corresponding to the reagent position numbered 22 is PT, and the remaining amount is 55; the reagent corresponding to the reagent position numbered 20 is APTT, and the remaining amount is 563; the reagent corresponding to the reagent position numbered 2 is TT, and the remaining amount is 451; the reagent corresponding to the reagent position numbered 1 is APTT, and the remaining amount is 99; the reagent corresponding to the reagent position numbered 18 is APTT, and the remaining amount is 123. The font colors of the above reagents also reflect their reagent types. It is not difficult to see from the figure that the reagents in reagent positions 5, 12, 22, 2, and 1 are all trigger reagents, the reagents in reagent positions 24 and 18 are mixed reagent 1, and the reagents in reagent positions 11 and 20 are mixed reagent 2. In addition, there are other numbered reagent positions that have not yet been bound to reagent information.

[0052] from Figure 3As is apparent from the interface diagram shown, the reagent position information setting method according to an embodiment of the present invention can conveniently implement the binding of reagent information and reagent position information through software. In addition, it should be understood that this interface diagram is merely exemplary. The reagent position information setting method according to an embodiment of the present invention can also be implemented as other interfaces.

[0053] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the method 200 may further include (not shown in Figure 2 ): After the binding of the reagent information and the reagent position information is completed, the binding information including the corresponding relationship between the reagent information and the reagent position information is transmitted to the sample analyzer. In this embodiment, by transmitting the binding information including the corresponding relationship between the reagent information and the reagent position information to the sample analyzer, the sample analyzer obtains information about what kind of reagent information is placed on each reagent position, which will be of great benefit to the subsequent sample analysis process. Of course, the sample analyzer can itself carry an application or module that implements the above-mentioned method 200. In this case, there is no need to implement the transmission process of the binding information including the corresponding relationship between the reagent information and the reagent position information, or it is only necessary to transmit the binding information including the corresponding relationship between the reagent information and the reagent position information between the contents of each module of the sample analyzer.

[0054] Based on the above description, the reagent position information setting method according to the embodiment of the present application is based on an external handheld barcode scanner to scan the barcode on the reagent bottle, and implements the binding of reagent information and reagent position information through software operation. The reagent position information setting can be realized without the sample analyzer equipment itself having a barcode scanner and a reagent bottle identification device, which can reduce equipment costs and design difficulty and has a wide range of adaptability.

[0055] The above exemplary illustrates the reagent position information setting method according to an embodiment of the present application. Exemplarily, the reagent position information setting method according to an embodiment of the present invention can be implemented in a device, apparatus, or system having a memory and a processor.

[0056] Furthermore, the reagent position information setting method according to an embodiment of the present invention can be conveniently deployed on mobile devices such as smartphones, tablet computers, and personal computers. Alternatively, the reagent position information setting method according to an embodiment of the present invention can also be deployed on a server (or cloud). Alternatively, the reagent position information setting method according to an embodiment of the present invention can also be distributedly deployed on a server (or cloud) and on individual terminals.

[0057] The following combination Figure 4 Another aspect of the present invention provides a reagent position information setting device. Figure 4 FIG. 4 is a schematic block diagram of a reagent position information setting device 400 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0058] like Figure 4As shown, the reagent position information setting device 400 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a parsing module 410 and a display and binding module 420. Among them, the parsing module 410 is used to obtain the barcode information of the reagent bottle on the reagent position to be placed in the sample analyzer, and parse the barcode information to obtain the reagent information associated with the reagent in the reagent bottle, and the barcode information is obtained by scanning the barcode of the reagent bottle by a barcode scanner outside the sample analyzer. The display and binding module 420 is used to display the reagent information to the user, and receive the user's instruction to set the reagent position corresponding to the reagent bottle based on the reagent information, and in response to the instruction set by the user, bind the reagent information with the reagent position information of the reagent position set by the user. The various modules can respectively execute the above combined Figure 2 The following only describes the main functions of each module of the reagent position information setting device 400, and omits the details already described above.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present application, a barcode scanner external to a sample analyzer (such as a coagulation analyzer) can first be used to scan the barcode on the reagent bottle at the reagent position to be placed in the sample analyzer to obtain the barcode information on the reagent bottle. Here, the "barcode scanner external to the sample analyzer" can be understood as a barcode scanner external to the sample analyzer, that is, the barcode scanner itself is not a component of the sample analyzer, but is externally connected to the sample analyzer through a certain interface. In this example, the sample analyzer may include an interface for an external device, and the barcode scanner external to the sample analyzer is externally connected to the sample analyzer via the interface. Alternatively, the "barcode scanner external to the sample analyzer" can also be understood as an external connection to a computing device equipped with sample analysis application software, such as an external connection to a computer case equipped with sample analysis application software.

[0060] Based on a scan by an external barcode scanner, parsing module 410 can obtain the barcode information of the reagent bottle to be placed in the reagent position of the sample analyzer. By parsing this barcode information, reagent information associated with the reagent in the reagent bottle can be obtained. For example, when the reagent in the reagent bottle is blood, the associated reagent information is parameter information associated with the blood in the reagent bottle. Based on this reagent information, display and binding module 420 can bind the reagent information to the reagent position information.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present application, the display and binding module 420 can display to the user the reagent information of the reagent in the reagent bottle parsed by the parsing module 410. Based on the reagent information, the user can set the reagent position corresponding to the reagent bottle through certain instructions. Based on the instruction, the display and binding module 420 can realize the binding of the reagent information of the reagent in the reagent bottle with the reagent position information of the reagent position corresponding to the reagent bottle. Among them, the reagent position information refers to the position information of the reagent position corresponding to the reagent bottle (the reagent bottle may have been placed in the reagent position or may be waiting to be placed in the reagent position). The binding of the reagent information and the reagent position information can be understood as associating / corresponding / mapping the reagent information in the reagent bottle with the position information of the reagent position corresponding to the reagent bottle.

[0062] Wherein, in one embodiment, the display and binding module 420 may include a real-time display mode for the display of reagent information, and the real-time display mode is: each time the bar code information of a reagent bottle is parsed, the reagent information associated with the reagent in the reagent bottle is displayed in real time, and a countdown is started to remind the user to set the reagent position within the countdown time. This display method reminds the user to set the reagent position of the reagent bottle by a countdown each time the bar code of the reagent bottle is parsed, and a real-time binding operation of the reagent information and the reagent position information can be achieved. In a further embodiment of this embodiment, after the countdown time ends, the reagent information automatically becomes invalid and is automatically deleted. In this embodiment, the display and storage of unnecessary reagent information (i.e., binding has been completed or no binding is required or other erroneous operations, etc.) can be reduced while achieving the real-time binding operation, avoiding interference or other effects on the display and operation of subsequent useful information.

[0063] In another embodiment, the display and binding module 420 may include a batch display mode for the display of reagent information. The batch display mode is: after batch parsing the barcode information of multiple reagent bottles, the reagent information associated with each of the reagents in the multiple reagent bottles is displayed in batches, so that the user can input the setting instructions for the reagent position of each reagent bottle in the multiple reagent bottles one by one. In this embodiment, after parsing all the current barcode information, the corresponding reagent information is displayed in a certain order (for example, in chronological order). Based on the list of the reagent information, the user can set the reagent position of each reagent bottle one by one. This batch display mode is conducive to improving operational efficiency. In a further embodiment of this embodiment, after completing the binding of the reagent information and the reagent position information, the reagent information obtained by the analysis can be cleared to avoid interfering with the binding of the subsequent reagent bottle reagent information and the reagent position information or occupying storage space.

[0064] The two display modes described above are merely exemplary. It should be understood that the display mode for displaying reagent information may also include any other suitable display mode, and an appropriate display mode may be set or selected based on different application scenarios. Furthermore, the display mode for displaying reagent information may be pre-set (e.g., having a default display operation) or user-selectable (e.g., including multiple display modes for user selection).

[0065] Based on the display of reagent information, the user can input the setting instructions for the reagent position of the reagent bottle. In one embodiment, the setting of the reagent position may include an icon setting mode, wherein the icon setting mode is as follows: the display and binding module 420 simulates and displays each reagent position in the form of an icon, so that the user can input the setting instructions for the reagent position by clicking. In this embodiment, the display and binding module 420 simulates and displays each reagent position in the form of an icon, and the user can click the corresponding icon to implement the setting of the reagent position corresponding to the reagent bottle. This method is simple to operate and easy to implement.

[0066] In another embodiment, the reagent position setting may include an edit setting mode, wherein the display and binding module 420 receives the reagent position information edited and input by the user to set the reagent position corresponding to the reagent bottle. In this embodiment, the user manually enters the reagent position information to set the reagent position corresponding to the reagent bottle. This method is also simple to operate and easy to implement.

[0067] The above two setting modes are merely exemplary. It should be understood that the setting mode for the reagent position may also include any other suitable setting mode, and suitable setting modes may be provided according to different application scenarios. Furthermore, the display mode for the reagent information and the setting mode for the reagent position may be arbitrarily combined in the aforementioned modes (or other possible modes) to achieve convenient, efficient, and highly reliable reagent position information setting. For example, in an embodiment of a combination of batch display mode and icon setting mode, the user can click on the reagent position icon on the interface and select the reagent information in the reagent information list that pops up to bind the reagent information with the reagent position information. After all selection operations are completed, click the Save button to complete the reagent position information setting function. Similarly, the operation of the embodiment of the combination of real-time display mode and icon setting mode, the operation of the embodiment of the combination of real-time display mode and edit setting mode, the operation of the embodiment of the combination of batch display mode and edit setting mode, and the operation of any other suitable embodiment of the combination of reagent information display mode and reagent position setting mode can be understood based on the previous description, and no further examples will be given here.

[0068] In one embodiment of the present invention, the reagent position bound to the reagent position information may correspond to a static reagent tray of a sample analyzer, where each reagent position on the static reagent tray is fixed.
