Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of in vitro diagnostic equipment testing, specifically to a method, apparatus, and electronic device for detecting abnormalities in sample needle aspiration. Background Technology

[0002] In the in vitro diagnostics industry, the samples encountered by diagnostic equipment may contain various impurities, which can cause abnormalities such as blockage of the sample needle or the intake of air when drawing the sample. This directly leads to inaccurate sample volume and thus unreliable test results.

[0003] Therefore, real-time monitoring of the sample dispensing circuit and the status of the sample needle is particularly important. Existing detection mainly focuses on the fixed value judgment of the pressure inside the pipeline, which is relatively simple in function and has weak stability. It cannot completely distinguish the following abnormal states that are prone to occur: the presence of bubbles or air bubbles on the sample surface, or false detection of liquid level causing the sample dispensing needle to not enter the actual liquid surface for sample aspiration, resulting in empty aspiration; the sample needle being immersed too deeply, the presence of impurities in the sample, insufficient sample, aspiration of separating gel or clots, or blockage caused by pressing the bottom of the cup; the presence of air in the inner wall pipeline due to insufficient cleaning fluid during the filling and cleaning of the inner wall pipeline of the sample dispensing system; and blockage of the inner wall pipeline during the cleaning of the sample dispensing system.

[0004] In summary, the existing technology does not comprehensively detect abnormal states in sample needle aspiration, thus affecting the accuracy of test results. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a method, device and electronic device for detecting abnormal sample needle aspiration, so as to solve the technical problem that the detection of abnormal sample needle aspiration is not comprehensive enough in the existing technology, resulting in low accuracy of test results.

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a method for detecting abnormal sample needle aspiration, applied to a sample dispensing system, comprising:

[0007] The sensor self-test pressure value is obtained, and the self-test pressure value is compared with the preset self-test pressure range to determine whether the sampling system is in a normal or abnormal state.

[0008] The sample dispensing system is used to perform liquid aspiration operation under normal conditions. The liquid aspiration pressure waveform of the sample needle is obtained. The empty aspiration indicator pressure value is determined based on the liquid aspiration pressure waveform. The empty aspiration indicator pressure value is compared with the preset empty aspiration judgment pressure range to determine whether the sample needle is in normal condition or empty aspiration condition.

[0009] The pressure value for identifying the blocked needle is determined based on the liquid aspiration pressure waveform. The pressure value for identifying the blocked needle is then compared with the preset pressure range for determining blocked needles to determine whether the sample needle is in a normal state or a blocked state.

[0010] The cleaning operation is performed based on the sample dispensing system under normal conditions. The sample needle cleaning pressure waveform is obtained. The cleaning filling indicator pressure array is determined based on the cleaning pressure waveform.

[0018] The starting pressure value and the judgment pressure value of the diluent aspiration are obtained according to the diluent aspiration pressure waveform. The diluent empty aspiration indicator pressure value is obtained by subtracting the starting pressure value of the diluent aspiration from the judgment pressure value of the diluent aspiration. The diluent empty aspiration indicator pressure value is compared with the preset diluent empty aspiration judgment pressure range to determine the normal working state or empty aspiration state of the sample needle when aspirating the diluent.

[0020] In some possible implementations, determining the needle plugging indicator pressure value based on the liquid suction pressure waveform includes:

[0021] The suction initiation pressure value and the suction flow rate peak pressure value are obtained based on the suction pressure waveform. The suction initiation pressure value is obtained by subtracting the suction flow rate peak pressure value from the suction flow rate peak pressure value.

[0022] In some possible implementations, the preset needle blockage detection pressure range is the same for the sample aspiration operation, reagent aspiration operation, and diluent aspiration operation.

[0023] In some possible implementations, determining the cleaning filling indicator pressure array based on the cleaning pressure waveform includes:

[0024] The cleaning start pressure value, cleaning maximum value, and cleaning minimum value are obtained based on the cleaning pressure waveform. The cleaning filling indicator pressure array is obtained by subtracting the cleaning start pressure value from the cleaning maximum value and the cleaning minimum value.

[0025] In some possible implementations, determining the cleaning needle plug identifier pressure array based on the cleaning pressure waveform includes:

[0026] The cleaning start pressure value, cleaning maximum pressure value, and cleaning end pressure value are obtained based on the cleaning pressure waveform. The cleaning start pressure value is then subtracted from the cleaning maximum pressure value and the cleaning end pressure value to obtain the cleaning plug needle identification pressure array.

[0027] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a sample needle aspiration abnormality detection device, applied to a sample dispensing system, comprising:

[0028] The self-test module is used to obtain the sensor self-test pressure value, and compare the self-test pressure value with the preset self-test pressure range to determine whether the sampling system is in a normal or abnormal state.

[0050] The specific embodiments are described in detail below. It should be noted that the order of the following descriptions of the embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments.

[0051] This invention provides a method, apparatus, and electronic device for detecting abnormalities in sample needle aspiration.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the sample needle aspiration anomaly detection method provided by the present invention. The sample needle aspiration anomaly detection method includes:

[0053] S101. Obtain the sensor self-test pressure value, and compare the self-test pressure value with the preset self-test pressure range to determine whether the sampling system is in a normal or abnormal state.

[0054] S102. Perform liquid aspiration operation based on the normal state of the sample addition system, obtain the liquid aspiration pressure waveform of the sample needle, determine the empty aspiration indicator pressure value according to the liquid aspiration pressure waveform, and compare the empty aspiration indicator pressure value with the preset empty aspiration judgment pressure range to determine whether the sample needle is in a normal state or an empty aspiration state.

[0055] S103.

[0056] S104. Perform a cleaning operation based on the sample dispensing system under normal conditions, obtain the sample needle cleaning pressure waveform, determine the cleaning filling indicator pressure array based on the cleaning pressure waveform, and compare the filling indicator pressure array with the preset filling judgment pressure range to determine whether the sample needle is in a normal filling cleaning state or an abnormal non-filling cleaning state.

[0057] S105. Determine the cleaning needle blockage identification pressure array based on the cleaning pressure waveform, and compare the cleaning needle blockage identification pressure array with the preset cleaning needle blockage judgment pressure range to determine whether the sample needle is in normal cleaning state or needle blockage cleaning state.

[0058] Compared with existing technologies, the present invention provides a sample needle aspiration anomaly detection method that, by analyzing the pressure in the tubing under different operating conditions in real time, realizes the detection of the status of the entire sample dispensing system. It can detect liquid aspiration emptying, liquid aspiration needle blockage, sample needle cleaning tubing filling status, sample needle cleaning tubing blockage status, and sensor status self-check during actual application, realizing the real-time detection of multiple abnormal states to ensure the accuracy of test results.

[0059] It should be noted that the sample needle aspiration anomaly detection method provided by this invention compares the judgment value with the constructed judgment logic table during anomaly detection to obtain the normal or abnormal judgment result of the sample needle. The constructed judgment logic table is shown in Table 1:

[0060] Table 1 Judgment Logic Table

[0061]

[0062] Optionally, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, in step S101, during the sensor status self-test process, the self-test pressure value Ps of the instrument initialization state is obtained when the power is turned on (the pressure value within a few milliseconds is taken when no instruction is received after power-on), and compared with the preset self-test pressure range. When D0-70000≤Ps≤D0, the sampling system self-test is determined to be normal. When Ps>D0 or Ps<D0-70000, the sampling system self-test is determined to be abnormal. D0 is the preset self-test judgment parameter (obtained from actual data statistics) [unit: Pa].

[0063] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, in step S102, the liquid aspiration operation includes: sample aspiration operation, reagent aspiration operation, and diluent aspiration operation;

[0064] The volume of liquid absorbed in the sample aspiration operation is less than a first preset volume value; the volume of liquid absorbed in the reagent aspiration operation is greater than or equal to the first preset volume value and less than a second preset volume value; and the volume of liquid absorbed in the diluent aspiration operation is greater than or equal to the second preset volume value.

[0065] Acquire the sample needle aspiration pressure waveform, which includes the sample aspiration pressure waveform, the reagent aspiration pressure waveform, and the diluent aspiration pressure waveform;

[0066] The sample aspiration initiation pressure value and sample aspiration judgment pressure value are obtained based on the sample aspiration pressure waveform. The sample empty aspiration indicator pressure value is obtained by subtracting the sample aspiration initiation pressure value from the sample aspiration judgment pressure value. The sample empty aspiration indicator pressure value is compared with the preset sample empty aspiration judgment pressure range to determine the normal working state or empty aspiration state of the sample needle during sample aspiration.

[0067] The reagent aspiration initiation pressure value and reagent aspiration judgment pressure value are obtained based on the reagent aspiration pressure waveform. The reagent empty aspiration indicator pressure value is obtained by subtracting the reagent aspiration initiation pressure value from the reagent aspiration judgment pressure value. The reagent empty aspiration indicator pressure value is compared with the preset reagent empty aspiration judgment pressure range to determine whether the sample needle is in normal working state or empty aspiration state during reagent aspiration.

[0068] The starting pressure value and the judgment pressure value of the diluent aspiration are obtained according to the diluent aspiration pressure waveform. The diluent empty aspiration indicator pressure value is obtained by subtracting the starting pressure value of the diluent aspiration from the judgment pressure value of the diluent aspiration. The diluent empty aspiration indicator pressure value is compared with the preset diluent empty aspiration judgment pressure range to determine the normal working state or empty aspiration state of the sample needle when aspirating the diluent.

[0069] The aspiration pressure waveform includes the sample aspiration pressure waveform, the reagent aspiration pressure waveform, and the diluent aspiration pressure waveform; the empty aspiration indicator pressure value includes the sample empty aspiration indicator pressure value, the reagent empty aspiration indicator pressure value, and the diluent empty aspiration indicator pressure value; and the preset empty aspiration judgment pressure range includes the preset sample empty aspiration judgment pressure range, the preset reagent empty aspiration judgment pressure range, and the preset diluent empty aspiration judgment pressure range.

[0070] In specific embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the liquid absorption pressure waveform provided by the present invention.

[0071] It should be noted that, since the waveforms obtained from sample aspiration, reagent aspiration, and diluent aspiration are basically the same during the liquid aspiration process, the difference lies in the volume of liquid aspirated. This leads to different empty aspiration indicator pressure values ​​and pressure ranges for judging normal aspiration, but the interval range of the corresponding pressure ranges for judging empty aspiration is the same, i.e., they have the same abnormal empty aspiration judgment pressure range. This embodiment of the invention uses the common pressure waveform during the liquid aspiration process as an example for illustration. Figure 2 In the formula, P0 is the initial pressure value of liquid aspiration (which can represent the initial pressure value of sample aspiration, reagent aspiration, and diluent aspiration), P1 is the pressure value at the peak point of liquid aspiration flow rate, P2 is the sample aspiration judgment pressure value, P3 is the reagent aspiration judgment pressure value, and P4 is the diluent aspiration judgment pressure value. The first preset volume value is 55uL, and the second preset volume value is 150uL.

[0072] The sample aspiration empty aspiration detection involves capturing the pressure waveform during the sample aspiration and dissipation process. Based on the initial aspiration pressure value P0 (calculated from the pressure value between the sample needle immersing in the liquid surface and the start of the aspiration process) and the sample aspiration judgment pressure value P2 (the pressure value after the aspiration process is completed when the aspiration volume is less than a certain value), the empty aspiration indicator pressure value Pb (obtained by subtracting P0 from P2) is determined. Pb is then compared with the preset empty aspiration judgment pressure range in the logic table (derived from actual data statistics), and the result is determined as either empty aspiration or normal aspiration.

[0073] The reagent aspiration empty aspiration detection involves capturing the pressure waveform during the aspiration and dissipation of the reagent sample. Based on the initial aspiration pressure value P0 and the reagent aspiration judgment pressure value P3, the empty aspiration indicator pressure value Pc is determined (by subtracting P0 from P3). Pc is then compared with the preset reagent empty aspiration judgment pressure range in the logic table, and the judgment result is either empty aspiration or normal.

[0074] The diluent aspiration empty aspiration detection involves capturing the pressure waveform during the aspiration and dissipation of the reagent sample against the diluent. Based on the initial aspiration pressure value P0 and the diluent aspiration judgment pressure value P4, the diluent empty aspiration indicator pressure value Pd (obtained by subtracting P0 from P4) is determined. Pd is then compared with the preset diluent empty aspiration judgment pressure range in the logic table, and the judgment result is either empty aspiration or normal.

[0075] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, step S103, determining the needle plugging indicator pressure value based on the liquid suction pressure waveform, includes:

[0076] The suction initiation pressure value and the suction flow rate peak pressure value are obtained based on the suction pressure waveform. The suction initiation pressure value is obtained by subtracting the suction flow rate peak pressure value from the suction flow rate peak pressure value.

[0077] It should be noted that the preset needle blockage detection pressure range is the same for the sample aspiration operation, reagent aspiration operation, and diluent aspiration operation.

[0078] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, when the reagent sample is aspirated or expelled against the reagent / sample / diluent, the pressure waveform during this period is collected. Based on the initial aspiration pressure value P0 and the peak aspiration flow rate pressure value P1 (the point of maximum aspiration speed), the needle blockage identification pressure value Pe (obtained by subtracting P0 from P1) is determined. Pe is compared with the preset needle blockage judgment pressure range in the logic table, and the judgment result is needle blockage or normal.

[0079] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, step S104, determining the cleaning filling indicator pressure array based on the cleaning pressure waveform, includes:

[0080] The cleaning start pressure value, cleaning maximum value, and cleaning minimum value are obtained based on the cleaning pressure waveform. The cleaning filling indicator pressure array is obtained by subtracting the cleaning start pressure value from the cleaning maximum value and the cleaning minimum value.

[0081] In specific embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the cleaning pressure waveform provided by the present invention.

[0082] When the reagent sample needle enters the cleaning tank for cleaning, the pressure waveform during cleaning is collected, such as... Figure 3As shown, based on the cleaning start pressure value P5 (calculated from the pressure value between the sample needle entering the cleaning tank and the pump valve starting), the cleaning maximum pressure value P6 (the maximum value between a few milliseconds after the pump starts and a few milliseconds before the pump ends), and the cleaning minimum pressure value P7 (the minimum value between a few milliseconds after the pump starts and a few milliseconds before the pump ends), the cleaning filling indicator pressure array B1 (obtained by subtracting P5 from P6 and P7) is obtained after processing. After comparing it with the data in the preset filling judgment pressure range Pf in the logic table (obtained from actual data statistics), the pipeline state during sample needle cleaning is determined to be either normal filling cleaning state or abnormal non-filling cleaning state (air enters the liquid path during sample needle cleaning).

[0083] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, step S105, determining the cleaning needle identification pressure array based on the cleaning pressure waveform, includes:

[0084] The cleaning start pressure value, cleaning maximum pressure value, and cleaning end pressure value are obtained based on the cleaning pressure waveform. The cleaning start pressure value is then subtracted from the cleaning maximum pressure value and the cleaning end pressure value to obtain the cleaning plug needle identification pressure array.

[0085] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, when the reagent sample needle enters the cleaning tank for cleaning, the pressure waveform during cleaning is collected. Please refer to [the relevant documentation]. Figure 3 Based on the cleaning start pressure value P5, the cleaning maximum pressure value P6 (the maximum value in the interval from a few milliseconds after pump start to a few milliseconds before pump end), and the cleaning end pressure value P8 (the maximum pressure in the interval from a few milliseconds after pump shut-off), the cleaning needle blockage identification pressure array B2 (obtained by subtracting P5 from P6 and P8) is obtained after processing. After comparing it with the data in the preset cleaning needle blockage judgment pressure interval Pg in the logic table (obtained from actual data statistics), the pipeline status during sample needle cleaning is determined as either normal cleaning status or needle blockage cleaning status.

[0086] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the present invention provides a method for detecting abnormal sample needle aspiration, used in a sample dispensing system, such as... Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the sample dispensing system provided by the present invention. During the cleaning process, when the sample dispensing system 400 receives a cleaning command, the second pressure pump 407 starts to pump the cleaning solution into the cleaning tank 406, the first pressure pump 405 starts, the pump valve 404 opens, the needle blockage detection plate 403 starts to collect pressure signals during the cleaning process, and the plunger pump 402 resets. During the liquid aspiration process, the plunger pump 402 controls the sample needle 401 to aspirate liquid until the aspiration is completed. The needle blockage detection plate 403 collects the pressure signals during the aspiration process and detects and judges the abnormal state of the sample needle based on the pressure signals. The abnormal detection and judgment method of sample needle aspiration abnormality detection in the above embodiment is used for abnormality detection, which will not be described in detail here.

[0087] This invention provides a method for detecting abnormal sample needle aspiration. By analyzing the pressure within the tubing under different operating conditions in real time, it enables the detection of the entire sample dispensing system's status. It can detect empty aspiration during sample, reagent, and diluent aspiration in practical applications, as well as needle blockage detection, sample needle cleaning tubing filling status detection, sample needle cleaning tubing blockage status detection, and sensor status self-check. This achieves real-time detection of multiple abnormal states, ensuring the accuracy of test results. While it has relatively low requirements for sensor accuracy, it is highly time-dependent and applicable to pressure scenarios with a maximum tubing pressure of less than 500 kPa. It can identify empty aspiration and blocked needles during sample dispensing from 10 μL to 200 μL of liquid at ambient temperatures of 10℃-25℃, and effectively determine various states during the cleaning of the sample dispensing system's inner wall.

[0088] This invention provides a method for detecting abnormalities in sample needle aspiration. By performing hardware filtering on the original waveform, the smoothness of the curve is increased. The implementation uses a total of 3kb of resources, with data processing using less than 1kb, resulting in low resource consumption. This method can be used in pressure scenarios below 500kPa absolute pressure, with low accuracy requirements and strong timing coupling. It achieves the identification of empty aspiration of liquids with volumes ranging from 10-200 microliters at temperatures below 3000m and altitudes between 10℃ and 30℃; it also achieves the identification of blocked needles during liquid aspiration at temperatures below 3000m and altitudes between 10℃ and 30℃; it identifies the presence of air sections in the pipeline during liquid flushing at temperatures below 3000m and altitudes between 10℃ and 30℃; and it identifies whether the pipeline is blocked during liquid flushing at temperatures below 30℃ and altitudes between 30℃ and 30℃.

[0089] To better implement the sample needle aspiration anomaly detection method in this embodiment of the invention, based on the sample needle aspiration anomaly detection method, this embodiment of the invention also provides a sample needle aspiration anomaly detection device, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the sample needle aspiration abnormality detection device 500 includes:

[0090] The self-test module 501 is used to acquire the sensor self-test pressure value and compare the self-test pressure value with a preset self-test pressure range to determine whether the sampling system is in a normal or abnormal state.

[0091] The liquid aspiration empty aspiration detection module 502 is used to perform liquid aspiration operation based on the sample addition system under normal conditions, acquire the liquid aspiration pressure waveform of the sample needle, determine the empty aspiration indicator pressure value based on the liquid aspiration pressure waveform, and compare the empty aspiration indicator pressure value with the preset empty aspiration judgment pressure range to determine whether the sample needle is in normal condition or empty aspiration state.

[0092] The liquid aspiration needle blockage detection module 503 is used to determine the needle blockage identification pressure value based on the liquid aspiration pressure waveform, and to determine whether the sample needle is in a normal state or a blocked state by comparing the needle blockage identification pressure value with a preset needle blockage judgment pressure range.

[0093] The cleaning and filling detection module 504 is used to perform cleaning operations based on the sample dispensing system under normal conditions, acquire the sample needle cleaning pressure waveform, determine the cleaning and filling indicator pressure array based on the cleaning pressure waveform, and compare the filling indicator pressure array with a preset filling judgment pressure interval group to determine whether the sample needle is in a normal filling cleaning state or an abnormal non-filling cleaning state.
