Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device calibration technology, and in particular to a calibration and correction method for a sample analyzer and the sample analyzer itself. Background Technology
[0002] An in vitro diagnostic analyzer (sample analyzer) is an instrument used to analyze specific types of samples and detect specific types of analytes. Typically, this instrument needs to be calibrated using calibrators before being put into use to ensure the accuracy of measurements on patient samples.
[0003] During calibration, multiple calibrators with different concentrations are typically used, allowing the instrument to obtain accurate readings for various concentration distributions. The instrument's detection results for the calibrators are fitted to a calibration curve. When testing patient samples, the instrument uses the calibration curve to calculate the concentration of the analyte in the sample. Therefore, the calibration curve determines the detection accuracy of the sample analyzer.
[0004] Currently, in order to ensure the accuracy of the test, when there are problems with the calibration curve, all multiple calibrators are usually used to recalibrate and test to obtain a new calibration curve.
[0005] To conserve calibrators during recalibration, patent CN 109557292 A provides a solution. In the event of a multi-point calibration procedure failure, the method includes determining whether the failure is related to one or more individual faulty calibration points, and if so, triggering a repeat measurement of the calibrator level only with respect to that faulty calibration point, and recalculating the results of the multi-point calibration procedure after replacing only the faulty calibration point with the newly obtained calibration point.
[0006] However, even though new calibration points were used and problematic original calibration points were discarded during the aforementioned calibration process, the in vitro diagnostic analyzer still needed to be recalibrated. Therefore, for the client terminals corresponding to the instrument, the operational procedures were not simplified, and subsequent samples could not be obtained in a timely manner, thus affecting the efficiency of instrument use. Summary of the Invention
[0007] This invention provides a calibration and correction method for a sample analyzer and a sample analyzer in order to reduce the recalibration steps (i.e., recalibration steps) for problematic calibration points and improve the efficiency of the sample analyzer.

[0048] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, and not all of the structures.
[0049] In vitro diagnostic analyzers need to be calibrated before use. At present, the main problem in the calibration process is to re-determine the calibration points of the sample analyzer. The re-determination process will increase the calibration time and reduce the efficiency of the in vitro analyzer.
[0050] Example 1
[0051] To address the above shortcomings, this invention proposes a calibration and correction method for sample analyzers, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes:
[0052] S10: Detect multiple calibrators with different concentrations and obtain the calibration points corresponding to the calibrators;
[0053] The calibration process involves using a pre-programmed program on the calibrator to detect multiple calibrators at different concentrations to obtain calibration points. Typically, three or more calibrators are used to determine whether each calibration point is in a normal or problematic state. The calibration process involves the sample analyzer testing the calibrators, obtaining detection signals for each calibrator (discrete point). Each discrete point can be considered a calibration point. Since the concentration of the calibrator corresponding to a calibration point is known, the sample analyzer can then obtain the correspondence between the known concentration of the analyte in the calibrator and the detection signal. A calibration curve is then fitted to the detection signal values of each discrete calibration point. When analyzing patient samples, the sample analyzer can use the calibration curve to convert the detection signal into a concentration, thereby determining the concentration of the analyte in the patient sample. The detection signals of the above system include both analog and digital signals.
[0054] S20: Determine the number of problematic calibration points; these calibration points typically fall into three categories: all normal, one problematic calibration point, and multiple problematic calibration points. For cases where the number of problematic calibration points is less than or equal to half the total number of calibration points, the calibration signal generation method provided in this embodiment can be used.
[0055] S30: If the number of problematic calibration points is less than or equal to half the number of calibration points, select a reference calibration point from the historical calibration curves, and use the signal value of the reference calibration point to adjust the signal value of the problematic calibration point as the calibration signal for this time; historical calibration curves can be stored in local and / or cloud databases.
[0056] The signal values of the detection signals at the aforementioned calibration points (including problematic calibration points) are stored in the sample analyzer and output externally as analog and / or digital signals. Therefore, when it is necessary to adjust the detection signal of a problematic calibration point, a reference calibration point with the same or similar predetermined parameters of interest can be found by searching the stored historical data.
[0057] like Figure 5 As shown, it specifically includes:
[0058] S31: Obtain historical calibration curves;
[0059] S32: Select a reference calibration point with the predetermined parameters of interest from the historical calibration curve;
[0060] S33: Use the signal value of the reference calibration point to adjust the detection signal of the problematic calibration point and generate the current calibration signal.
[0061] It should be added here that the parameters of interest include concentration and / or calibration curve profile similar to the fitted curve of the non-problematic calibration point. The reference calibration point can be from the same batch as the problematic calibration point, or it can be historical data from a different batch.
[0062] Specifically, when the predetermined parameter of interest is concentration, a reference calibration point with the same concentration as the problematic calibration point can be selected from the historical calibration curve. The signal value of the problematic calibration point can be adjusted using the signal value of the reference calibration point as the calibration signal for the current calibration.
[0063] In a variant scheme, if the calibration point Cn is the problematic calibration point and the concentration of Cn is a, then the signal y corresponding to concentration a in the calibration curve of historical data can be directly set as the analog signal of Cn as y.
[0064] The predetermined parameters of interest may include the calibration curve profile similar to the fitted curve of the non-problem calibration point. Here, the curve characteristics (e.g., slope, curvature, etc.) between discrete points (concentrations) of the fitted curve for the non-problem calibration point are first obtained. The curve characteristics between discrete points are calculated from the stored historical calibration curves. When one of the stored historical calibration curves has curve characteristics similar to the current fitted curve, the similar segment from that historical calibration curve is selected. Then, the signal value of the problem calibration point is adjusted according to the ratio of the concentration of each calibration point on the historical calibration curve to the concentration of each calibration point on the current fitted curve.
[0065] Historical calibration curves are typically stored in the sample analyzer's local database.
[0066] In a preferred embodiment, the calibrator establishes a data link with the client's database (cloud database), and multiple historical calibration curves and multiple calibration points are stored in the cloud database. When adjusting the signal value of a problematic calibration point, the average value of each calibration point from the stored multiple historical calibration curves can be used as the standard historical calibration curve. Alternatively, as described above, a historical calibration curve with similar curve characteristics can be selected.
[0067] By retrieving historical calibration curves from the database, a reference calibration point is selected from the historical calibration curves. The detection signal of the problematic calibration point is then adjusted using the detection signal of the reference calibration point as the calibration signal for the current calibration. The adjustment methods include, but are not limited to, proportional adjustment.
[0068] It should be added that, for generating the current calibration signal, the following method can also be used: use the signal value of the reference calibration point and the signal value of the calibration point adjacent to the problem calibration point to simulate the detection signal of the problem calibration point and generate the current calibration signal.
[0069] The implementation method is as follows:
[0070] If calibration point Cn is the problematic calibration point, and Cm is another calibration point with similar concentrations to Cn, the analog signal of Cn is adjusted using the analog signal of Cm through proportional calculation. Assuming the concentration of Cn is a, the concentration of Cm is b, and the signal is x, and the historical calibration curve contains the signal y corresponding to concentration a and the signal z corresponding to concentration b, then the analog signal of Cn = xy / z.
[0071] S40: Based on the current calibration signal and the analog signals of the remaining calibration points, a calibration curve is generated by fitting. The fitting process can be considered as connecting the current calibration signal and the analog signals of the remaining calibration points to generate the calibration curve. In an optional implementation, the analog signals and calibration curve are displayed in graphical form.
[0072] This invention provides a calibration correction method for a sample analyzer. By detecting multiple calibrators with different concentrations and obtaining calibration points corresponding to the calibrators, the number of problematic calibration points is determined. If the number of problematic calibration points is less than or equal to half the total number of calibration points, the signal value of the problematic calibration point is determined based on the reference calibration points corresponding to the problematic calibration points and historical calibration curves stored in the local and / or cloud databases. The current calibration signal is then generated and a calibration curve is generated together with the original normal calibration points. This simplifies the recalibration process for problematic calibration points and ensures the efficiency of the sample analyzer.
[0073] Example 2
[0074] Based on Embodiment 1, this invention further proposes a process for determining the number of problematic calibration points, such as... Figure 2 As shown, it specifically includes:
[0075] S21: Perform at least two calibrations on each of the multiple calibrators, and calculate the first signal difference between the two detected signals at the corresponding calibration points. Since interference is possible during calibration, such as environmental and signal factors, performing at least two calibrations reduces the possibility of misjudgment caused by a single calibration. Furthermore, considering the ease of calibration and cost factors, performing two or more calibrations is preferred.
[0076] S22: If the first signal difference is greater than the first difference threshold, the calibration point is determined to be a problematic calibration point; in addition, the signal values of the detection signals generated by the above two calibration processes also need to be judged by other criteria; if one of the signal values obtained by the two calibration processes meets other judgment conditions, it is determined to be normal; if the signal values of the two calibration processes are both normal or both are abnormal, they are both determined to be problematic calibration points.
[0077] S23: Number of calibration points for statistical problems.
[0078] In addition, the following methods can also be used to determine problematic calibration points, such as... Figure 3 As shown:
[0079] S21': Select any calibration point and generate fitting curves for the remaining calibration points. For example, if there are 5 calibration points in the calibration process, select standard points numbered 1-5 as any standard point in sequence, generate corresponding fitting curves for the remaining standard points, and then compare them.
[0080] S22': If the deviation between any calibration point and the fitted curve is greater than the second deviation threshold, then any calibration point is determined to be a problematic calibration point.
[0081] S23': Number of calibration points for statistical problems.
[0082] Another way to determine a problematic calibration point is to check if the signal value of the calibration point is less than the minimum value of the analog signal. If it is less, then it is determined to be a problematic calibration point.
[0083] In another possible implementation, the problematic standard point can also be determined by judging the signal values of the detection signals of adjacent calibration points, specifically as follows: Figure 4 As shown:
[0084] S21”: Calculate the second signal difference between any calibration point and its adjacent calibration points;
[0085] S22”: If the difference in the second signal is greater than the third deviation threshold, the calibration point and its adjacent calibration points are determined to be problematic calibration points. In addition, whether the concentration between adjacent calibration points and / or the shape of the calibration curve that is similar to the fitted curve of a non-problematic calibration point meet the preset threshold conditions can also be used to determine whether adjacent calibration points are multiple problematic calibration points.
[0086] It should be noted that the first deviation threshold, the second deviation threshold, and the third deviation threshold mentioned above are related to the factory settings of the calibrator, and will not be elaborated here.
[0087] Furthermore, if the number of calibration points with the aforementioned problems is determined to be multiple (greater than the average number of calibration points), then step S50 needs to be executed: stop the calibration and notify the user that there is a problem with the calibration process. This is because multiple calibration problems may be due to unstable instrument or reagent conditions, or other reasons.
[0088] Example 3
[0089] In this embodiment of the invention, the historical calibration curves involved in the generation process of the current calibration signal are stored locally and in a database (cloud database).
[0090] Specifically, based on locally stored historical calibration curves, a reference calibration point is selected from the historical calibration curves. The signal value of the problematic calibration point is then adjusted using the signal value of the reference calibration point as the calibration signal for the current calibration. Figure 6 As shown, it specifically includes:
[0091] S31': Select a reference calibration point with a predetermined parameter of interest from the locally stored historical calibration curves; the predetermined parameter of interest includes, but is not limited to, concentration. Preferably, the reference calibration point is a calibration point calibrated in the same batch as the problematic calibration point.
[0092] S32': Based on the parameters of interest at the problematic calibration point, the parameters of interest at the reference calibration point, and the signal value of the reference calibration point, the signal value of the problematic calibration point is calculated proportionally and used as the calibration signal for this calibration. The aforementioned historical calibration curves can be considered as a set including several reference calibration points (belonging to multiple historical calibration curves). The generation of the reference calibration point signal value involves selecting the concentration of the calibration point in this detection that is close to the concentration of the problematic signal, and generating the signal value based on the signal values of calibration points with the same concentration as the problematic point in the historical calibration curves, calculated proportionally. The specific generation process has been described in Example 1 and will not be repeated here.
[0093] In addition, based on the historical calibration curves stored in the cloud database, a reference calibration point is selected from the historical calibration curves. The signal value of the problematic calibration point is then adjusted using the signal value of the reference calibration point as the calibration signal for the current calibration. Figure 7 As shown, it specifically includes:
[0094] S31”: Establish a data link with the cloud database; the methods for establishing the link include, but are not limited to, data communication, wireless, Bluetooth and other communication methods.
[0095] S32”: Select a reference calibration point with a predetermined parameter of interest from the historical calibration curve; the reference calibration point and the problem calibration point have predetermined parameters of interest; in a preferred embodiment, when there are enough calibration point samples stored in the database, the historical calibration curve formed by the average value of the historical data can be used as a reference, and other calibration points in the same batch with a concentration close to the problem calibration point are selected as reference calibration points.
[0096] S33”: Based on the parameters of interest of the problem calibration point, the parameters of interest of the reference calibration point, and the signal value of the reference calibration point, the signal value of the problem calibration point is calculated proportionally and used as the calibration signal for this time.
