[0002] A sample analyzer is a blood analyzer used to detect specific substances in a blood sample. For any sample analyzer, each sample to be detected needs to have corresponding detection information. The detection information includes sample information and detection items. The sample information may include a sample code, and a sample to be detected may need to perform multiple detection items.

[0003] In the related art, the detection items of the sample to be detected are mostly obtained from an associated system according to the sample code. However, for the case where the sample analyzer cannot recognize the sample code, the user needs to manually enter the sample code and the corresponding detection items one by one, and then generate a detection task list. Such an operation is cumbersome and time-consuming, and is prone to errors.

[0004] Therefore, a method capable of automatically acquiring detection items is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0022] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 , this embodiment provides an automatic acquisition method for detection items, which is applied to a sample analyzer and includes: obtaining donor identification information of a sample to be tested on a sample rack, searching for historical detection items of the donor in a database according to the donor identification information, and determining current detection items of the sample to be tested from the historical detection items.

[0024] Among them, there can be various types of sample analyzers. According to different detection methods, the sample analyzer can include a biochemical analyzer, a chemiluminescence analyzer, a mass spectrometer, a blood cell analyzer, a coagulation analyzer, a nucleic acid analyzer, and so on.

[0025] The donor can be understood as the source of the sample to be tested. For example, if the sample to be tested is extracted from a human body, then the donor is the human body; if the sample to be tested is extracted from an animal, then the donor is the animal. When the donor is a human body, the donor identification information can be the person's ID number and / or code, etc.; when the donor is an animal, the donor identification information can be the animal's name and / or number, etc. Those skilled in the art can set it according to needs and will not be specifically limited here.

[0026] The sample analyzer can have a sample rack for carrying the sample to be tested, and multiple samples to be tested can be carried on the sample rack. When feeding samples into the sample analyzer, multiple samples to be tested can be placed on the sample rack and the sample rack can be pushed to a designated position of the sample analyzer, thereby triggering a sensor signal. When the sensor signal is received, it can be determined that multiple samples to be tested have reached the designated position of the sample analyzer. In other embodiments, it can also be detected whether multiple samples to be tested have reached the designated position of the sample analyzer through devices such as infrared rays, and so on. After the sample to be tested reaches the designated position of the sample analyzer, the control device of the sample analyzer searches for historical detection items of the donor in the database according to the donor identification information.

[0027] The database may include the local database of the sample analyzer and / or other databases communicating with the sample analyzer. For example, the other databases may include the database of the superior information management system communicating with the sample analyzer (such as the database of the Laboratory Information Management System (LIS)). This application does not make specific limitations thereto. Specifically, after each detection is completed, the sample analyzer may store the donor identification information, sample information, and detection items of the detected samples in the local database or transmit them to an external database.

[0028] For the test samples of the donors who have been detected in the sample analyzer, the historical detection items of the donor can be directly searched in the database according to the donor identification information, especially in the local database of the sample analyzer, and then the current detection items of the test samples can be determined from the historical detection items.

[0029] The present invention particularly provides a quick and convenient entry of detection items for people who often have follow-up consultations. With the help of the donor identification information, the detection items can be directly obtained without communicating with the superior information management system, thereby greatly improving the efficiency and being not error-prone.

[0030] In one embodiment, obtaining the donor identification information of the test sample on the sample rack includes: obtaining the donor identification information of the test sample in the inspection form by performing image recognition on the inspection form of the test sample; and / or receiving the donor identification information input for the test sample, and using the received donor identification information as the donor identification information of the test sample.

[0031] In this embodiment, the donor identification information of the test sample can be obtained by performing image recognition on the inspection form of the test sample, especially OCR (Optical Character Recognition) recognition, or the donor identification information input by the user for the test sample can be received, so as to obtain the donor identification information of the test sample. The donor identification information of the test sample can also be obtained by other feasible methods, which are not specifically limited herein.

[0032] In one embodiment, for the test sample for which no historical data is found in the database according to the donor identification information, the sample information of the test sample is obtained.

[0033] To obtain the sample information of the test sample, the identifier of the test sample on the sample rack can be scanned by a barcode scanner, such as a barcode, a QR code, etc., to obtain the sample information of the test sample. Alternatively, the sample information can also be obtained by user input. The sample information includes, for example, information such as name, gender, age, etc.

[0034] For donor identification information for which historical data cannot be searched, it means that the donor is being tested on the sample analyzer for the first time. Therefore, in addition to the sample information, the test items need to be obtained from the outside. Obtaining test items from the outside includes, for example, user input and obtaining test items corresponding to the sample information from the superior laboratory information management system.

[0035] In one embodiment, for a test sample for which historical data is searched in the database according to the donor identification information, the sample information of the test sample is determined according to the historical sample information in the historical data corresponding to the donor identification information.

[0036] If historical data has been searched according to the donor identification information, it means that the donor has been tested for samples at this sample analyzer. Therefore, the corresponding sample information (such as name, age, gender, status, etc.) should be consistent and continuous. Therefore, the current sample information can be directly determined according to the historical sample information. For example, if the donor was at the 28th gestational week during the last test, the current gestational week can be directly calculated based on the last test date for this test.

[0037] In one embodiment, determining the sample information of the test sample according to the historical sample information may include: using the latest historical sample information generated on the closest date as the sample information of the test sample.

[0038] Of course, when the sample analyzer is equipped with devices (such as barcode scanners, RFID readers) for obtaining the sample information of the test sample, the sample information can be directly obtained from the sample identification (such as two-dimensional code, RFID electronic tag) of the test sample. Then the historical test items are obtained from the historical data.

[0039] However, in this application, it is not necessary to obtain the sample information with the help of external devices. The sample analyzer can directly borrow the historical data to obtain the sample information of the test sample.

[0040] In one embodiment, determining the current test items of the test sample from the historical test items includes: determining the current test items of the test sample from the historical test items according to a preset rule.

[0041] Among them, the preset rule may include at least one of the following: using the latest historical test item as the current test item of the test sample; using the historical test item whose number of occurrences exceeds the preset threshold as the current test item of the test sample; using all the historical test items as the current test item of the test sample.

[0042] For example, in the case where there are multiple historical detection items, the latest historical detection item executed on the closest date can be used as the current detection item for the sample to be tested. That is, all the historical detection items executed on that date can be selected as the current detection item. Alternatively, the number of times each detection item appears in the historical records can be counted, and the historical detection items whose appearance times exceed a preset threshold can be used as the current detection item for the sample to be tested. The preset threshold can be set as needed, for example, it can be 2, 5, etc.; or all the historical detection items in the historical data can be used as the current detection item for the sample to be tested. The current detection item of the sample to be tested can include one or multiple, and no specific limitation is made here. Those skilled in the art can set it as needed.

[0043] Of course, in other embodiments, the current detection item of the sample to be tested can also be determined from the historical detection items according to other rules. For example, the historical detection items whose detection results deviate from the reference range can be entered as the current detection item of the sample to be tested, the historical detection items whose deviation times exceed the set number among the historical detection items that deviate from the reference range can be entered as the current detection item of the sample to be tested, or the historical detection item with the largest deviation degree can be entered as the current detection item of the sample to be tested. It can also be manually entered by a human operator as the current detection item of the sample to be tested, etc. No specific limitation is made here.

[0044] By determining the current detection item of the sample to be tested from the historical detection items according to the above preset rules, the operation of adding the current detection item to the sample to be tested can be simplified, the trouble of manual operation can be reduced, which is beneficial to improving the detection efficiency and accelerating the detection progress.

[0045] In one embodiment, it may further include: generating a detection task according to the current detection item to be executed and the detection reagents loaded in the sample analyzer.

[0046] In this embodiment, it is possible to check whether the corresponding detection reagents are loaded in the sample analyzer or the reagent management device according to the current detection item to be executed. In the case where the corresponding detection reagents are loaded, a detection task for the sample to be tested can be generated, so that the sample analyzer can execute the detection task at any time.

[0047] The following uses a specific example to illustrate the automatic acquisition method of the detection items of the present invention.

[0048] After receiving the sensor signal that the sample rack reaches the designated position of the sample analyzer, it can be determined that the sample to be tested has reached the designated position of the sample analyzer, and then the first interface can be popped up to obtain the donor identification information of the sample to be tested.

[0049] In one embodiment, the positions on the sample racks of each sample to be tested can be displayed in a first interface (refer to Figure 2 ). In the first interface, the arrangement of multiple samples to be tested in the sample rack can be represented by the arrangement of multiple graphics (such as circles). In response to a selection operation on the sample to be tested at the corresponding position, a second interface can be popped up, and the donor identification information of the selected sample to be tested can be obtained in the second interface.

[0050] After obtaining the donor identification information of the sample to be tested, the control device of the sample analyzer searches for the historical test items of the donor in the database; if historical test items are found, the current test item of the sample to be tested is determined from the historical test items. If no historical test items are found, the sample identification of the sample to be tested can be scanned using a barcode scanner to obtain the sample information of the sample to be tested, and at the same time, a third interface (refer to Figure 3 ) is popped up, and then the historical test items of the sample to be tested can be searched according to the sample information of the sample to be tested.

[0051] If historical test items of the sample to be tested are found according to the sample information of the sample to be tested (refer to Figure 3 ), the current test item of the sample to be tested can be determined from the historical test items; if historical test items of the sample to be tested are still not found, the current test item of the sample to be tested can be determined by manual operation.

[0052] If the sample information of the sample to be tested is not obtained by scanning the sample identification of the sample to be tested, the historical sample information of the sample to be tested can be searched in the database according to the donor identification information of the sample to be tested, and the sample information of the sample to be tested can be determined according to the historical sample information.

[0053] This embodiment provides an automatic acquisition device for test items, which can include: an information acquisition module for acquiring the donor identification information of the sample to be tested on the sample rack; a data search module for searching for the historical test items of the donor in the database according to the donor identification information; and an item determination module for determining the current test item of the sample to be tested from the historical test items.

[0054] In another embodiment, the automatic acquisition device for test items can further include a processor and a memory. The information acquisition module, the data search module, and the item determination module described above are stored in the memory. When the program modules stored in the memory are executed by the processor, the above-mentioned automatic acquisition method for test items is implemented.

[0055] This embodiment provides a computing device, including a processor and a memory. A computer program is stored in the memory. When the computer program is executed by the processor, the above-mentioned automatic acquisition method for test items is implemented.

[0056] In one embodiment, the computing device may include one or more processors (CPUs), an input / output interface, a network interface, and a memory.

[0057] The memory may include non-permanent memory in the form of computer-readable media, random access memory (RAM), and / or non-volatile memory such as read-only memory (ROM) or flash memory (FLASH RAM). The memory is an example of computer-readable media.

[0058] This embodiment provides a sample analyzer including the above-mentioned computing device.

[0059] For a test sample without a corresponding test item, the sample analyzer of the present invention can obtain historical test items according to the donor identification information, and determine the current test item of the test sample from the historical test items, which conveniently and quickly realizes the entry of test items, reduces the trouble of manual operation, greatly improves the efficiency and is not prone to errors.
