Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of medical device technology, and in particular relates to a sample analysis system. Background Technology

[0002] Turn-Around Time (TAT) refers to the total time from when the laboratory receives a sample to when it issues a test report. This indicator reflects the laboratory's efficiency and, in some cases, can directly impact patient safety. For example, patients with myocardial infarction or stroke require rapid blood draws for coagulation tests when rushed to the hospital. Obtaining the necessary test results as soon as possible is crucial to ensuring timely surgery and is essential for saving the patient's life.

[0003] Currently, to improve the TAT (Total Acidity) index of samples as much as possible, hospital laboratory staff need to constantly monitor whether the sample testing process is completed and whether the test results are available, so as to review the test reports as soon as the results are output. However, under the heavy workload of the laboratory, especially during periods of large sample volume, it is common for test results to be available but for medical staff to delay reviewing the results, resulting in delays in issuing test reports and affecting testing efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the related technical issues, embodiments of this application provide a sample analysis system.

[0005] The technical solution of this application embodiment is implemented as follows:

[0006] This application provides a sample analysis system, which includes a sample measuring device and a control device; the sample measuring device includes a sample scheduling mechanism and at least one sample analyzer; wherein...

[0007] The sample scheduling mechanism is used to schedule the samples to be tested, which are loaded onto the sample measuring device, to all or part of the sample analyzers in the at least one sample analyzer.

[0008] The sample analyzer is used to perform corresponding test items on the sample to be tested, so as to output the test data of the sample to be tested on the corresponding test items.

[0009] The control device is configured to:

[0010] The system acquires sample information for each of a plurality of test samples loaded onto the sample testing device; marks one or more test samples among the plurality of test samples based on the information content of the sample information or in response to a first user operation on the sample information; and outputs a first control command after detecting that the sample testing device has output test data for any marked test sample on one or more test items; wherein the first control command is used to control one or more devices to output a first prompt message, the first prompt message being used to prompt that the marked test sample has completed testing in the sample testing device.

[0011] In the sample analysis system provided in this application embodiment, based on the information content of multiple test samples loaded onto the sample device, or in response to user operations on the sample information, the control device in the sample analysis system marks one or more test samples among the multiple test samples. When the control device detects that the test result related to any marked test sample has been obtained, it can promptly output control commands to control one or more devices to output the test result of that test sample and provide real-time prompts to the medical staff in the laboratory department. Through the above scheme, the message of the test result output of the marked test sample can be transmitted to the medical staff in the laboratory department more quickly, so that these test results can be reviewed in the first time, thereby speeding up the issuance of test reports and improving the testing efficiency of the laboratory department. Based on this, in clinical scenarios, medical staff in other related departments can promptly carry out subsequent diagnosis and treatment for patients, especially in the rescue process of myocardial infarction or stroke. By marking relevant samples, the sample analysis system provided in this application embodiment can help to carry out the rescue process in a race against time, effectively reducing the time cost of information transmission in clinical scenarios.

[0012] This application also provides a sample analysis system, which includes: a sample measuring device and a control device; the sample measuring device includes: a sample scheduling module and at least one sample analysis module; wherein...

[0013] The sample scheduling module is used to schedule the sample to be tested, which has been loaded onto the sample determination device, to all or part of the sample analyzers in the at least one sample analyzer.

[0014] The sample analysis module is used to perform corresponding test items on the sample to be tested, so as to output the test data of the sample to be tested on the corresponding test items.

[0015] The control device is configured to:

[0016] The test data output by the sample testing device is acquired, and a fourth control command is output when the test data output by the sample testing device is detected to include test data of any second sample to be tested on one or more test items; wherein, the second sample to be tested represents the sample to be tested that meets the set conditions among the multiple samples to be tested loaded onto the sample testing device; the fourth control command is used to control one or more devices to output a third prompt message, the third prompt message being used to prompt the second sample to be tested to complete the test in the sample testing device.

[0017] In the sample analysis system provided in this application embodiment, for test samples that meet the set conditions, when the sample testing device outputs the test results for such test samples, the control device in the sample analysis system can promptly output control commands to control one or more devices to output the test results for such test samples and provide real-time prompts to the medical staff in the laboratory department. Through this solution, the message of the test results for test samples that meet the set conditions can be transmitted to the medical staff in the laboratory department more quickly, enabling these test results to be reviewed immediately, thereby accelerating the issuance of test reports and improving the laboratory department's testing efficiency. Based on this, medical staff in other related departments in clinical settings can promptly provide subsequent diagnosis and treatment to patients, especially during the rescue of myocardial infarction or stroke. The sample analysis system provided in this application embodiment can help to carry out the rescue process with utmost speed, effectively reducing the time cost of information transmission in clinical settings.

[0018] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the sample analysis system provided in the embodiments of this application;

[0019] Figure 2 A schematic diagram illustrating the deployment of relevant equipment inside and outside the laboratory, provided as an application example for this application. Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] This application provides a sample analysis system, referring to... Figure 1 The sample analysis system includes a sample measuring device 100 and a control device 200, wherein the sample measuring device 100 includes a sample scheduling mechanism 110 and at least one sample analyzer 120.

[0022] In this embodiment, the sample analysis system can be a system of sample analyzers that performs sample testing as a single unit, or it can be a system of sample testing in a pipeline formed by cascading multiple sample analyzers. When the sample analysis system performs sample testing as a single unit, the sample measurement device 100 includes a sample scheduling mechanism 110 and one sample analyzer 120; when the sample analysis system performs sample testing in a pipeline formed by cascading multiple sample analyzers, the sample measurement device 100 includes a sample scheduling mechanism 110 and multiple sample analyzers 120.

[0023] The sample scheduling mechanism 110 is used to schedule the samples to be tested from the sample measuring device 100 to all or part of the sample analyzers in at least one sample analyzer 120.

[0024] The sample analyzer 120 is used to perform corresponding test items on the sample to be tested, so as to output the test data of the sample on the corresponding test items.

[0025] Specifically, at least one sample analyzer 120 may include, but is not limited to, one or more of the following types of sample analyzers: coagulation analyzer, blood analyzer, immunoassay analyzer, biochemical analyzer, electrolyte analyzer, and urine analyzer. It can be understood that different types of sample analyzers correspond to different testing items. In practical applications, for a pipeline formed by multiple cascaded sample analyzers, the equipment types of the cascaded sample analyzers can be different. Thus, during the operation of the sample analysis system, multiple tests can be performed simultaneously on samples using multiple sample analyzers.

[0026] Since different types of sample analyzers are used for different testing items, the sample scheduling mechanism 110 schedules the sample to be tested to the sample analyzer corresponding to the required testing item. When a sample needs to be tested for multiple testing items, the sample scheduling mechanism 110 schedules the sample to be tested among multiple sample analyzers sequentially according to a certain scheduling strategy. The scheduling strategy may include: scheduling the sample to be tested according to the deployment position of the multiple sample analyzers on the production line, or prioritizing scheduling the sample to be tested to a relatively idle sample analyzer based on the current idle status of the multiple sample analyzers, thereby increasing the flow speed of the sample in the sample measuring device 100 and improving testing efficiency.

[0027] In practical applications, the sample scheduling mechanism 110 may include an inbound / outbound sample module and a track module, specifically:

[0028] The sample loading / unloading module is used to transfer the sample container to or out of the track module, wherein the sample container contains the sample to be tested;

[0029] The track module is used to transport the sample container to the sample analyzer.

[0030] Here, depending on the number and type of sample analyzers in the sample analysis system, one or more track modules can be deployed in the sample analysis system. Depending on the relative deployment positions between the sample analyzers, different types of track modules, such as I-type track, L-type track, and T-type track, can be selected to realize the transmission of sample containers to each sample analyzer through the sample scheduling mechanism 110.

[0031] In addition to the main sample loading module for loading samples to be tested onto the corresponding pipeline of the sample analysis system, each sample analyzer or branch of each pipeline in the sample analysis system can also be equipped with a separate single-machine sample loading module, so that some urgent samples can be prioritized to the relevant sample analyzer for corresponding testing items.

[0032] In addition, in practical applications, the sample testing device 100 may also include a cap-removing mechanism for removing the cap from the sample container, a centrifugation mechanism for centrifuging the sample to be tested in the sample container, etc. Each sample analyzer may also be equipped with at least one functional module required to complete the sample testing process, such as: a sample tray for holding the sample container, a sample dispensing mechanism for drawing the sample to be tested from the sample container and discharging it into a reaction cup, a reagent tray for holding reagents, a mixing mechanism for mixing the reaction solution to be mixed in the reaction cup, a reaction tray for placing the reaction cup and incubating the reaction solution in the reaction cup, a detection device for detecting the incubated reaction solution, etc.

[0033] Here, the specific components of the sample analysis system will not be described in detail. On the one hand, this is to avoid obscuring the core parts of the solution in this application with excessive description. On the other hand, for those skilled in the art, the relevant description is not necessary and can be implemented based on general technical knowledge in the field, so it will not be described in detail.

[0034] The control device 200 of the sample analysis system is configured as follows:

[0035] The sample information of each of the multiple test samples loaded onto the sample measuring device 100 is acquired; based on the information content of the sample information or in response to a first user operation on the sample information, one or more test samples among the multiple test samples are marked; and after detecting that the sample measuring device 100 has output test data of any marked test sample on one or more test items, a first control command is output.

[0036] The first control command is used to control one or more devices to output a first prompt message, which is used to prompt that the marked sample to be tested has been tested in the sample measuring device 100.

[0037] Here, the control device 200 in the sample analysis system marks one or more of the multiple samples to be tested that are loaded onto the sample testing device 100. When the test result of any marked sample on one or more test items is detected, the first control command can be output in a timely manner to control one or more devices to prompt the output of the test result of the sample, that is, to provide real-time prompts to the medical staff in the laboratory.

[0038] Specifically, the control device 200 marks the sample to be tested in the following ways, including but not limited to: adding a corresponding mark bit to the sample information of the sample to be tested, and adding an output event associated with the first control command to the output event of the test result of the sample to be tested, so that the output of the first control command can be automatically triggered when the test result of the sample to be tested is output.

[0039] The medical staff in the laboratory, specifically the reviewers, review the test results of the samples to be tested and issue test reports. In this embodiment, the recipient of the first control command is one or more devices. In practical applications, these devices need to support timely notifications to the medical staff in the laboratory that the labeled samples to be tested have been tested in the sample testing device 100. From this perspective, these devices are preferably devices that can be prominently displayed to the reviewers in the laboratory, and / or should be personal devices of the reviewers. In this embodiment, these devices may include:

[0040] One or more devices inside the sample analysis system and / or devices outside the sample analysis system.

[0041] The equipment inside the sample analysis system includes: all or part of the sample analyzers in the sample determination device 100, and / or, the middleware equipment of the sample analysis system; the equipment outside the sample analysis system includes: equipment that supports access to the Laboratory Information System (LIS), and / or, terminal equipment for setting up medical staff, and / or, a smart central control screen.

[0042] Correspondingly, in one embodiment, the output of the first control command includes:

[0043] Output a first control command to one or more devices inside the sample analysis system and / or devices outside the sample analysis system; wherein...

[0044] The equipment inside the sample analysis system includes: all or part of the sample analyzers in at least one sample analyzer, and / or, the middleware equipment of the sample analysis system;

[0045] External devices of the sample analysis system include: devices that support access to the LIS, and / or, terminal devices for setting up medical staff, and / or, smart central control screens.

[0046] Figure 2 This illustrates an example of the deployment of relevant equipment inside and outside the laboratory, combined with... Figure 2 For example, the area inside the dashed box 20 represents the equipment inside the sample analysis system, while the area outside the dashed box 20 represents the equipment outside the sample analysis system.

[0047] Specifically, as one implementation method, the control device 200 can control the sample analyzer to output a first prompt message, and when the sample analysis system... Figure 2 When multiple sample analyzers are deployed in cascade, the control device 200 can send a first control command to one or more of the sample analyzers, causing that sample analyzer to output a first prompt message.

[0048] In practical applications, when a sample analysis system deploys multiple cascaded sample analyzers, the system can select one or more sample analyzers closest to the workstation of the medical staff responsible for reviewing test results and issuing test reports in the laboratory to output the first control command. This achieves the most significant prompting effect for the relevant medical staff. For example, the control device 200 directs... Figure 2 In the example, sample analyzer 1 outputs the first control command, because in Figure 2 In the example, the deployment location of sample analyzer 1 is spatially closest to and unobstructed by the fixed workstations of medical staff in the laboratory. Therefore, by controlling sample analyzer 1 to output the first prompt information, the output of the first prompt information can be observed by medical staff in real time to the greatest extent possible. Alternatively, the control device 200 can also send the first control command to multiple sample analyzers. The recipients of the first control command can be all or some of the sample analyzers in the sample analysis system. In this way, the output of the first prompt information will not be ignored due to the movement of medical staff in the laboratory.

[0049] As another implementation method, combined Figure 2For example, control device 200 can control the middleware device of the sample analysis system to output the first prompt message. Here, the middleware device represents a device that supports access to and operation of the middleware software of the sample analysis system. The middleware software is deployed between the sample analysis system and the LIS system, and its functions include comprehensive data monitoring of the sample analysis system, such as tracking the testing status of the samples, viewing and processing test results, displaying quality control results, issuing alarms for critical values, and alarms for instrument status, etc. Typically, the middleware device is deployed in the laboratory, and relevant medical staff frequently monitor and operate the sample analysis equipment through it. Therefore, by controlling the middleware device to output the first prompt message, medical staff can observe the output of the first prompt message in real time, thus promptly notifying them that the marked samples have completed testing, thereby improving testing efficiency.

[0050] The aforementioned sample analyzer and middleware devices of the sample analysis system are all internal devices of the sample analysis system. Furthermore, not detailed in this embodiment, other devices within the sample analysis system, such as the sample input / output module, can also serve as output devices for the first prompt information. Technically, since communication links are established directly or indirectly between devices within the sample analysis system, any device within the system can be controlled by the control device 200 to support the output of the first prompt information. In practical applications, the control device 200 can output the first control command to these internal devices via wired means such as the internal bus or communication cables of the sample analysis system. Additionally, if wireless communication is supported between components within the sample analysis system, the control device 200 can also output the first control command to these internal devices via wireless communication methods such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. The communication behavior of the control device 200 outputting the first control command to the internal devices of the sample analysis system can be implemented based on predefined communication protocols such as local area network communication protocols and serial communication protocols between components within the sample analysis system.

[0051] The control device 200 can also control external devices of the sample analysis system to output the first prompt information. Specifically, as one implementation method, it combines... Figure 2 For example, control device 200 can control devices that support LIS access to output a first notification message. Typically, such devices are deployed in laboratory departments, and medical staff mostly use these devices to review test results and issue test reports. Therefore, by controlling devices that support LIS access to output a first notification message, the medical staff can be promptly notified that the marked sample has been tested, thereby improving testing efficiency.

[0052] As another implementation method, the control device 200 can also control the smart central control screen to output the first notification message. Typically, the smart central control screen is deployed on the wall of the laboratory, using a large screen to comprehensively display various information related to the laboratory's testing work. It features a large screen, good display effect, rich display content, and convenient access for medical staff to view information intuitively at any time. Therefore, by controlling the smart central control screen to output the first notification message, the relevant medical staff can be promptly notified that the marked sample has been tested, thereby improving testing efficiency.

[0053] In practical applications, the control device 200 can output the first control command to devices and / or smart control screens that support LIS access via wired means such as communication cables. Furthermore, if both the control device 200 and the devices and / or smart control screens that support LIS access support wireless communication, the control device 200 can also output the first control command to these devices via wireless communication methods such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. The communication behavior of the control device 200 outputting the first control command to the devices and / or smart control screens that support LIS access can be implemented based on predefined communication protocols such as local area network communication protocols and serial communication protocols.

[0054] As another implementation method, the control device 200 can also control the terminal device used by designated medical personnel to output the first notification message. Here, the designated medical personnel can be those in the laboratory department responsible for reviewing test results and issuing test reports, and the terminal device can be a mobile phone, tablet, or other terminal device carried by such medical personnel. Due to their mobility and portability, such terminal devices are often carried by medical personnel. Therefore, even if the medical personnel are not near the fixed equipment in the laboratory department, or even if they are temporarily located outside the laboratory department, the control device 200 can still output the first notification message to such terminal devices to promptly notify the relevant medical personnel that the marked sample to be tested has been tested, thereby shortening the TAT index of the relevant sample and improving testing efficiency.

[0055] In practical applications, the control device 200 can control the terminal device to output the first prompt information in the form of SMS or automatic call through the first control command, based on the built-in SMS sending module or automatic call-out module, or based on the SMS sending interface or automatic call-out interface provided by a third party.

[0056] Furthermore, for external devices of the sample analysis system, in certain situations, the control device 200 needs permission or authorization from such devices before it can control such devices to output the first prompt information via the first control command. Based on this, in one embodiment, the control device 200 is further configured to:

[0057] Receive and transmit first indication information, the first indication information being used to instruct a first device outside the sample analysis system to allow a response to a first control command;

[0058] After detecting that the sample measuring device 100 has output test data for any marked sample to be tested on one or more test items, a first control command is output, including: in response to a first indication information, after detecting that the sample measuring device 100 has output test data for any marked sample to be tested on one or more test items, the first control command is output to a first device.

[0059] In practical applications, the control device 200 can initiate a request to the first device to request permission to respond to the first control command. For example, the control device 200 can initiate a request to a device that supports LIS access. If medical personnel wish to output the first prompt information on this device, they can manipulate the device to return the first instruction information to the control device 200. At the same time as returning the first instruction information, the device's response function to the first control command is activated. Thus, after the control device 200 issues the first control command to the device, the device will output the first prompt information.

[0060] Alternatively, the first device may send the first instruction information to the control device 200 on its own. For example, if a medical professional wishes to output the first prompt information on a device that supports LIS access, they can control the device to send the first instruction information to the control device 200. At the same time as sending the first instruction information, the device's response function to the first control command is activated. Thus, after the control device 200 issues the first control command to the device, the device will output the first prompt information.

[0061] Alternatively, medical personnel can input the first instruction information into the control device 200. For example, if a medical staff member wishes to output the first notification information on their own mobile phone, they can input the first instruction information into the control device 200, specifying their mobile phone number in the first instruction information. In this way, the control device 200 can output a first control command to a third-party SMS sending module through the mobile phone number, thereby calling the third-party SMS sending module to send the corresponding SMS to the mobile phone. After receiving the SMS, the mobile phone will provide a message notification, allowing the medical staff to promptly view the SMS and obtain information that the labeled test sample has obtained the test results.

[0062] In this embodiment of the application, the output methods of the first prompt information include, but are not limited to: sound output, photoelectric output, and display interface output.

[0063] Specifically, sound output requires the corresponding device to be equipped with a sound-generating device, while photoelectric output requires the corresponding device to be equipped with a light-emitting device. In practical applications, the sound-generating device can be a buzzer, a speaker, etc., and the light-emitting device includes, but is not limited to: light-emitting diode (LED) lamps, organic light-emitting diode (OLED) lamps, or light-emitting arrays composed of LED beads or OLED beads, liquid crystal display (LCD) panels, etc.

[0064] In one embodiment, all or part of the sample analyzers in at least one sample analyzer are equipped with a sound-emitting device and / or a light-emitting device. Correspondingly, the control device 200 outputs a first control command, including: outputting the first control command to all or part of the sample analyzers in at least one sample analyzer; the at least one sample analyzer in at least one sample analyzer is also used to control the sound-emitting device to emit a set sound and / or control the light-emitting device to generate a set light in response to the first control command.

[0065] In practical applications, to ensure compatibility with the existing hardware configuration of the sample analyzer, the existing sound-generating and / or light-emitting devices on the sample analyzer can be used to output the first prompt message. The sound-generating device can be a buzzer, and to distinguish it from other prompts or alarms issued via buzzers, the sound-generating device can output the first prompt message using a pre-defined sound sequence. For example, if other prompts or alarms are issued via buzzers with long or short beeps, then three long beeps followed by one short beep can be used to output the first prompt message. The light-emitting device can be a single monochrome LED. Similarly, to distinguish it from other prompts or alarms issued via LEDs, the light-emitting device can output the first prompt message using a pre-defined light-emitting sequence. For example, if other prompts or alarms are issued via LEDs with continuous light or short flashing, then the LED can be controlled to flash three long beeps followed by one short flash to output the first prompt message.

[0066] In addition to the sample analyzer, other devices that support the output of the first prompt information may also output the first prompt information by means of sound and / or light if they are equipped with a sound-emitting device and / or light-emitting device, which will not be elaborated here.

[0067] The display interface output method requires the corresponding device to be equipped with a display module, which includes, but is not limited to, display modules based on display technologies such as LCD, LED, and OLED. The display interface can be understood as a graphical interface that supports human-computer interaction. Furthermore, the display module may have touch screen functionality, allowing users to trigger controls on the graphical interface through touch screen operations.

[0068] In one embodiment, one or more devices are configured with a display module. Correspondingly, the first control instruction is used to instruct one or more devices to control the corresponding display module to output images and / or graphics and / or text and / or dynamic images about the first prompt information in the display interface, and / or the first control instruction is used to instruct one or more devices to control the corresponding display module to set the display configuration and output the display interface.

[0069] Specifically, the display interface outputs images and / or graphics and / or text and / or animated screens related to the first prompt information. These images and / or graphics and / or text and / or animated screens may contain information indicating that the labeled test samples have completed testing in the sample testing device 100. In addition, they may also contain all or part of the sample information, such as the name of the completed test items, the department from which the test sample originated, the patient name corresponding to the test sample, etc., so that relevant medical staff can clearly identify the detailed information of the test samples whose test results need to be reviewed first, thereby more accurately completing the review of relevant test results and issuing test reports. Alternatively, these images and / or graphics and / or text and / or animated screens may only serve as prompts, indicating to relevant medical staff that there are test samples whose test results need to be reviewed first. Based on this prompt, relevant medical staff can complete subsequent operations in the LIS system, prioritizing the review of test results and the issuance of test reports for the labeled test samples whose test results have been output.

[0070] By setting the display configuration to output the display interface, the display interface can be presented to medical staff in a way that is different from the display configuration under normal working conditions. This can also prompt relevant medical staff that there are test samples that need to be reviewed first. Based on this prompt, relevant medical staff can complete subsequent operations in the LIS system, and prioritize the review of test results and the issuance of test reports for the marked test samples that have already had their test results output.

[0071] The display settings include one or more of the following: the set interface color scheme, the set interface background image, and the set font format.

[0072] Here, the interface color scheme is defined as one that is significantly different from the usual color scheme of the display interface. For example, if the display interface usually uses a cool color scheme, then the defined interface color scheme can be a warm color scheme. The defined interface background image can be an image that is significantly different from the usual background image of the display interface. The defined font format can be a font format that is significantly different from the usual font format of the display interface. For example, the defined font format can be a bold font with a larger font size, or if the usual font of the display interface is [font name], then the defined font format can be SimSun.

[0073] It should be noted that for any of the above-mentioned sound output, photoelectric output, and display interface output methods for the first prompt information, the relevant devices can use them individually or in combination.

[0074] Due to the busy workload of the laboratory department, in order to avoid situations where medical staff have received the first notification information but forget to process the review report due to being busy, in this embodiment of the application, the first notification information can be continuously output until it is determined that the relevant test results have started or have been reviewed.

[0075] Based on this, in one embodiment, the first control command is used to control one or more devices to continuously output the first prompt information;

[0076] Correspondingly, the control device 200 is also configured to:

[0077] Send a second control command to one or more devices, the second control command being used to control the one or more devices to stop outputting the first prompt message.

[0078] In this embodiment, one or more devices that receive the first control command will continuously output the first prompt information after receiving the first control command. Only after receiving the second control command sent by the control device 200 will these devices stop outputting the first prompt information to ensure that the first prompt information can be noticed by relevant medical personnel.

[0079] Furthermore, in practical applications, the salience of the initial prompt can be gradually increased during its continuous output to enhance the likelihood that healthcare workers who have not yet noticed it will quickly become aware of it. For example, the flashing frequency of the light-emitting device can be gradually increased, the light color can change from yellow to red, the volume of the sound-emitting device can be gradually increased, the sound frequency can be gradually increased, and the images and / or graphics and / or text and / or dynamic images displayed on the screen, or the display configuration of the screen, can all be changed to achieve a more timely prompting effect.

[0080] In practical applications, the sending of the second control command by the control device 200 can be triggered manually or automatically. In one embodiment, sending the second control command to one or more devices includes:

[0081] In response to a second indication message received from the LIS system, a second control command is sent to one or more devices, wherein the second indication message indicates that a test report has been issued for a marked sample that has completed testing or has entered the test report review process; and / or,

[0082] In response to a received second user operation, a second control command is sent to one or more devices, the second user operation being used to instruct one or more devices to stop outputting the first prompt message.

[0083] On the one hand, since medical staff mostly operate on the LIS system to review test results and issue test reports, the LIS system can immediately know the testing status of the corresponding sample. In this embodiment, when the LIS system learns that the corresponding sample has entered the test result review process, or has completed the review of test results and the issuance of test reports, it indicates that the first prompt information has received the attention of medical staff, and the medical staff have begun subsequent review work based on the first prompt information. At this time, the LIS system sends a second instruction to the control device 200, so that after learning the current testing status of the sample, the control device 200 sends a second control command to one or more devices that output the first prompt information, thereby stopping the output of the first prompt information.

[0084] On the other hand, medical personnel can also input a second user operation into any device of the sample analysis system, which can then be transmitted to the control device 200. In this case, the control device 200 sends a second control command to one or more devices that output the first prompt information, thereby stopping the output of the first prompt information. The second user operation can be executed after the relevant medical personnel have begun or completed the issuance of the test report for the sample to be tested, indicating that the first prompt information has received the attention of the medical personnel and that the medical personnel have begun subsequent review work based on the first prompt information.

[0085] In this embodiment, the control device 200 can identify the samples to be labeled from all the samples to be tested that are loaded onto the sample measuring device 100 by automatic analysis or manual operation by the user.

[0086] First, regarding the automated analysis method, in one embodiment, based on the information content of the sample information, one or more test samples from a plurality of test samples are labeled, including:

[0087] The sample information of each of the multiple test samples is checked to see if it contains the set information, and the analysis result corresponding to each of the multiple test samples is obtained. The set information indicates that the corresponding test sample has a set test priority.

[0088] If the sample information of the corresponding test sample in the analysis result contains the set information, then the corresponding test sample is marked.

[0089] The settings include one or more of the following:

[0090] The source department of the sample to be tested is the information of the designated department;

[0091] The test items that characterize the sample to be tested include information on the determination of the test items;

[0092] This indicates that the sample to be tested is prioritized for scheduling by the sample scheduling agency 110.

[0093] In practical applications, based on sample information, when the control device 200 detects that the source department of the sample to be tested is the emergency department, or in more urgent situations during clinical rescue, such as when the control device 200 detects that the source department of the sample to be tested is the stroke center, it indicates that the relevant test results of the sample to be tested need to be obtained quickly so as to carry out subsequent diagnosis and emergency work in a timely manner. Therefore, the control device 200 marks the sample to be tested.

[0094] Based on the sample information, when the control device 200 detects that the test items of the sample to be tested include the set test items, or in more urgent situations in clinical rescue, such as when the sample to be tested is collected from a suspected myocardial infarction or stroke patient, the sample to be tested usually needs to be tested for relevant coagulation indicators in order to carry out subsequent diagnosis and emergency work in a timely manner, the control device 200 marks the sample to be tested.

[0095] Alternatively, in practical applications, an emergency sample channel is deployed on the sample testing pipeline. The samples to be tested in this channel are usually from departments such as the emergency department or stroke center. The sample scheduling agency 100 will prioritize the samples to be tested in the emergency sample channel based on the scheduling strategy to accelerate the testing process of those samples. Therefore, when the control device 200 detects that a sample to be tested is being scheduled in the emergency sample channel, the control device 200 marks the sample to be tested.

[0096] Typically, in a sample analysis system, the sample information records the testing status of the sample, the sample channel where the sample is located, and the sample rack number that carries the sample when it enters or exits. Based on this sample information, the control device 200 can identify whether the sample is located in the emergency sample channel and thus determine whether the sample needs to be marked.

[0097] Secondly, regarding the manual operation method, in one embodiment, in response to a first user operation on sample information, marking one or more test samples in the test samples includes:

[0098] In response to the user's selection of sample information, one or more test samples corresponding to the selected sample information are marked.

[0099] Here, for samples that require accelerated testing, relevant medical personnel can manipulate the sample information and select such sample information. As a result, the control device 200 marks the sample to be tested that has been selected by the sample information.

[0100] In one embodiment, after detecting that the sample measuring device 100 has output test data for any labeled sample on one or more test items, a first control command is output, including:

[0101] After detecting that the sample measuring device has output test data for any marked sample on all or part of the corresponding test items, the first control command is output.

[0102] Some of the test items represent one or more pre-defined test items.

[0103] In this embodiment, for a labeled sample to be tested, as one implementation method, the control device 200 can output the first control command after all the test results of the sample have been obtained.

[0104] As another implementation, if the sample to be tested involves many tests and the testing time varies, the control device 200 can output the first control command after the test results for some of the tests on the sample are obtained. Based on this, when the sample to be tested involves multiple tests, it is not necessary to wait for all test results to be output; instead, the first control command can be issued when the output of critical test results is urgently needed. In practical applications, the test items that can trigger the output of the first control command are one or more pre-set test items. For example, coagulation index-related test items can be pre-set. When the sample to be tested obtains test results for coagulation index-related test items, it is not necessary to wait for all test results for the sample. At this time, the control device 200 can issue the first control command, thereby prioritizing the review of the test data and issuing the test report, so as not to delay the subsequent diagnosis or emergency treatment of patients with myocardial infarction or stroke.

[0105] Furthermore, based on the same inventive concept as the embodiments described above, in this application embodiment, prompts can also be provided for the output of test results for other types of samples to be tested. Therefore, in one embodiment, the control device 200 is further configured to:

[0106] After detecting that the sample testing device 100 outputs the test data of the first sample to be tested, a third control command is output. The first sample to be tested represents a sample whose test data includes critical index values. The third control command is used to control one or more devices to output a second prompt message. The second prompt message is used to indicate that the test data of the first sample to be tested includes critical index values.

[0107] Here, the one or more devices used to output the second prompt information may include one or more devices inside the sample analysis system and / or devices outside the sample analysis system. Specifically, the devices inside the sample analysis system include: all or part of the sample analyzers in the sample measurement device 100, and / or, the middleware devices of the sample analysis system; the devices outside the sample analysis system include: devices that support access to LIS, and / or, terminal devices for setting up medical staff, and / or, smart central control screens.

[0108] In addition, the output methods of the second prompt information include, but are not limited to: sound output, photoelectric output, and display interface output.

[0109] Regarding the output of the second prompt message, the available devices and output methods can be referenced from the relevant output schemes for the first prompt message described above, and will not be repeated here. It should be noted that the output method and / or output device for the second prompt message must differ from those for the first prompt message to avoid confusion and ensure inspection efficiency.

[0110] Furthermore, for labeled test samples where the test results contain critical indicators, a more effective warning method can be used to output the first warning message. For example, for labeled test samples with normal test results, the first warning message can be output via three short beeps followed by one long beep. However, for labeled test samples whose test results contain critical indicators, the first warning message can be output via rapid and continuous beeps to provide a stronger warning effect and further ensure that relevant medical personnel can promptly conduct subsequent review of test results and issue test reports.

[0111] In one embodiment, after detecting that the sample measuring device 100 outputs the test data of the first sample to be tested, a third control command is output, including:

[0112] In response to the third indication information sent by the corresponding device, after detecting that the sample measuring device 100 outputs the test data of the first sample to be tested, the third control command is output to the corresponding device, wherein the third indication information indicates that the corresponding device is allowed to respond to the third control command.

[0113] In practical applications, a function switch can be set for the critical indicator value prompting function in the control device 200. Only when the prompting function is turned on will the control device 200 control one or more devices to output a second prompting message in response to the occurrence of critical indicator values.

[0114] In addition, in some cases, the control device 200 needs permission or authorization from the relevant device before it can control such device to output a second prompt message through a third control command.

[0115] In practical applications, the control device 200 can initiate a request to the first device to request permission to respond to the third control command. Alternatively, the first device can send the third instruction information to the control device 200 itself. Or, medical personnel can input the third instruction information into the control device 200.

[0116] Through the above scheme, the test results of the labeled samples can be transmitted to the medical staff in the laboratory more quickly, enabling these results to be reviewed in a timely manner, thereby speeding up the issuance of test reports and improving the efficiency of the laboratory. Based on this, medical staff in other related departments can promptly provide follow-up diagnosis and treatment to patients in clinical settings. Especially during the rescue of patients with myocardial infarction or stroke, by labeling relevant samples, the sample analysis system provided in this application embodiment can help to carry out the rescue process with utmost speed, effectively reducing the time cost of information transmission in clinical settings.

[0117] This application also provides a sample analysis system, which can still be referred to... Figure 1 The schematic diagram shown illustrates the structure of a sample analysis system, which includes a sample measuring device 100 and a control device 200. The sample measuring device 100 includes a sample scheduling mechanism 110 and at least one sample analyzer 120.

[0118] The sample scheduling mechanism 110 is used to schedule the sample to be tested from the sample measuring device 100 to all or part of the sample analyzers in the at least one sample analyzer.

[0119] The sample analysis module 120 is used to perform corresponding test items on the sample to be tested, and output the test data of the sample to be tested on the corresponding test items.

[0120] The control device 200 is configured as follows:

[0121] The test data output by the sample testing device 100 is acquired, and a fourth control command is output when the test data output by the sample testing device 100 is detected to include test data of any second sample to be tested on one or more test items.

[0122] The second test sample represents the test sample that meets the set conditions among the multiple test samples loaded onto the sample measuring device 100; the fourth control command is used to control one or more devices to output the third prompt information, which is used to prompt that the second test sample has completed the test in the sample measuring device 100.

[0123] Here, the second test sample is the test sample that meets the set conditions among the multiple test samples loaded into the sample measuring device 100. The test sample that meets the set conditions includes test samples whose sample information contains information indicating that the corresponding test sample has a set test priority. In practical applications, the set information includes one or more of the following:

[0124] The source department of the sample to be tested is the information of the designated department;

[0125] The test items that characterize the sample to be tested include information on the determination of the test items;

[0126] This indicates that the sample to be tested is prioritized for scheduling by the sample scheduling agency 110.

[0127] In practical applications, based on sample information, when the control device 200 detects that the source department of the sample to be tested is the emergency department, or in more urgent situations during clinical rescue, such as when the control device 200 detects that the source department of the sample to be tested is the stroke center, it indicates that the relevant test results of the sample to be tested need to be obtained quickly so as to carry out subsequent diagnosis and emergency work in a timely manner. Therefore, the control device 200 determines the sample to be tested as the second sample to be tested.

[0128] Based on sample information, when the control device 200 detects that the test items of the sample to be tested include the set test items, or in more urgent situations in clinical rescue, such as when the sample to be tested is collected from a suspected myocardial infarction or stroke patient, the sample to be tested usually needs to be tested for relevant coagulation indicators in order to carry out subsequent diagnosis and emergency work in a timely manner, the control device 200 determines the sample to be tested as the second sample to be tested.

[0129] Alternatively, in practical applications, an emergency sample channel is deployed on the sample testing pipeline. The samples to be tested in this channel are usually from departments such as the emergency department or stroke center. The sample scheduling agency 100 will prioritize the samples to be tested in the emergency sample channel based on the scheduling strategy to accelerate the testing process of those samples. Therefore, when the control device 200 detects that a sample to be tested is being scheduled in the emergency sample channel, the control device 200 identifies that sample as the second sample to be tested.

[0130] Typically, in a sample analysis system, the sample information records the testing status of the sample, the sample channel where the sample is located, and the sample rack number that carries the sample when it enters or exits. Based on this sample information, the control device 200 can identify whether the sample is located in the emergency sample channel and thus identify the sample as the second sample to be tested.

[0131] Alternatively, for test samples that meet the set conditions, users can select the test samples by selecting the sample information.

[0132] Here, for samples that require accelerated testing, relevant medical personnel can manipulate the sample information and select the sample information of such samples to be tested. Thus, the control device 200 determines the sample to be tested as the second sample to be tested.

[0133] In this embodiment, the recipient of the fourth control command is one or more devices. In practical applications, these devices need to support timely notification to medical staff in the laboratory that the second sample to be tested has been tested in the sample testing device 100. From this perspective, these devices are preferably devices that can be clearly alerted to the reviewers in the laboratory, and / or should be personal devices of the reviewers. In this embodiment, these devices may include:

[0134] One or more devices inside the sample analysis system and / or devices outside the sample analysis system.

[0135] The equipment inside the sample analysis system includes: all or part of the sample analyzers in the sample measurement device 100, and / or, the middleware equipment of the sample analysis system; the equipment outside the sample analysis system includes: equipment that supports access to LIS, and / or, terminal equipment for setting up medical staff, and / or, a smart central control screen.

[0136] Correspondingly, in one embodiment, a fourth control command is output, including:

[0137] Output a fourth control command to one or more devices inside the sample analysis system and / or devices outside the sample analysis system; wherein...

[0138] The equipment inside the sample analysis system includes: all or part of the sample analyzers in at least one sample analyzer, and / or, the middleware equipment of the sample analysis system;

[0139] External devices of the sample analysis system include: devices that support access to the LIS, and / or, terminal devices for setting up medical staff, and / or, smart central control screens.

[0140] Here, when the control device 200 outputs the fourth control command, the selection of the equipment can be referred to the above. Figure 2 The example outputs the first control command and explains the relevant instructions on device selection, which will not be elaborated here.

[0141] In one embodiment, the control device is further configured to:

[0142] Receive a fourth indication message, which indicates that a second device outside the sample analysis system is permitted to respond to a fourth control command;

[0143] After detecting that the sample measuring device 100 has output test data for any second sample to be tested on one or more test items, a fourth control command is output, including: in response to the fourth indication information, after detecting that the sample measuring device 100 has output test data for any second sample to be tested on one or more test items, outputting the fourth control command to the second device.

[0144] In practical applications, the control device 200 can initiate a request to the second device to request permission to respond to the fourth control command. Alternatively, the second device can send the fourth instruction information to the control device 200 on its own. Alternatively, medical personnel can input the fourth instruction information into the control device 200.

[0145] In this embodiment of the application, the output methods of the third prompt information include, but are not limited to: sound output, photoelectric output, and display interface output.

[0146] Specifically, sound output requires the corresponding device to be equipped with a sound-generating device, while photoelectric output requires the corresponding device to be equipped with a light-emitting device. In practical applications, the sound-generating device can be a buzzer, a speaker, etc., and the light-emitting device includes, but is not limited to: LED lights, OLED lights, or light-emitting arrays composed of LED beads or OLED beads, LCD panels, etc.

[0147] In one embodiment, all or part of the sample analyzers in at least one sample analyzer are equipped with a sound-emitting device and / or a light-emitting device. Correspondingly, the control device 200 outputs a fourth control command, including: outputting the fourth control command to all or part of the sample analyzers in at least one sample analyzer; the at least one sample analyzer in at least one sample analyzer is also used to control the sound-emitting device to emit a set sound and / or control the light-emitting device to generate a set light in response to the fourth control command.

[0148] In practical applications, to ensure compatibility with the existing hardware configuration of the sample analyzer, the existing sound-generating and / or light-emitting devices on the sample analyzer can be used to output a third prompt message. The sound-generating device can be a buzzer, and to distinguish it from other prompts or alarms issued via buzzers, the sound-generating device can output the third prompt message using a pre-defined sound sequence. For example, if other prompts or alarms are issued via buzzers with long or short beeps, then the third prompt message can be output using three long beeps followed by one short beep. The light-emitting device can be a single monochrome LED. Similarly, to distinguish it from other prompts or alarms issued via LEDs, the light-emitting device can output the third prompt message using a pre-defined light sequence. For example, if other prompts or alarms are issued via LEDs with continuous light or short flashing, then the third prompt message can be output by controlling the LED to flash three long beeps followed by one short flash.

[0149] In addition to the sample analyzer, other devices that support the output of third prompt information may also output third prompt information by means of sound and / or light if they are equipped with sound and / or light-emitting devices, which will not be elaborated here.

[0150] The display interface output method requires the corresponding device to be equipped with a display module, which includes, but is not limited to, display modules based on display technologies such as LCD, LED, and OLED. The display interface can be understood as a graphical interface that supports human-computer interaction. Furthermore, the display module may have touch screen functionality, allowing users to trigger controls on the graphical interface through touch screen operations.

[0151] In one embodiment, one or more devices are configured with a display module. Correspondingly, the fourth control instruction is used to instruct one or more devices to control the corresponding display module to output images and / or graphics and / or text and / or dynamic images about the third prompt information in the display interface, and / or the fourth control instruction is used to instruct one or more devices to control the corresponding display module to set the display configuration and output the display interface.

[0152] Specifically, the display interface outputs images and / or graphics and / or text and / or animated screens related to the third prompt information. These images and / or graphics and / or text and / or animated screens may contain information indicating that the second sample to be tested has completed the test in the sample testing device 100. In addition, they may also contain all or part of the sample information of these samples to be tested, such as the name of the test items completed for the sample to be tested, the department from which the sample originated, the name of the patient corresponding to the sample to be tested, etc., so that relevant medical staff can clearly identify the detailed information of the samples to be tested that need to have their test results reviewed first, thereby completing the review of relevant test results and the issuance of test reports more accurately. Alternatively, these images and / or graphics and / or text and / or animated screens may only serve as prompts to relevant medical staff, indicating that there are samples to be tested that need to have their test results reviewed first. Based on this prompt, relevant medical staff can complete subsequent operations in the LIS system, prioritizing the review of test results and the issuance of test reports for samples that meet the set conditions and have already had their test results output.

[0153] By setting the display configuration to output the display interface, the display interface can be presented to medical staff in a way that is different from the display configuration under normal working conditions. This can also prompt relevant medical staff that there are test samples that need to be reviewed first. Based on this prompt, relevant medical staff can complete subsequent operations in the LIS system, and prioritize the review of test results and the issuance of test reports for test samples that meet the set conditions and have already output test results.

[0154] The display settings include one or more of the following: the set interface color scheme, the set interface background image, and the set font format.

[0155] Here, the interface color scheme is defined as one that is significantly different from the usual color scheme of the display interface. For example, if the display interface usually uses a cool color scheme, then the defined interface color scheme can be a warm color scheme. The defined interface background image can be an image that is significantly different from the usual background image of the display interface. The defined font format can be a font format that is significantly different from the usual font format of the display interface. For example, the defined font format can be a bold font with a larger font size, or if the usual font of the display interface is [font name], then the defined font format can be SimSun.

[0156] It should be noted that for any of the above-mentioned sound output, photoelectric output, and display interface output methods for the first prompt information, the relevant devices can use them individually or in combination.

[0157] Due to the busy workload of the laboratory department, in order to avoid situations where medical staff have received the first notification information but forget to process the review report due to being busy, in this embodiment of the application, the first notification information can be continuously output until it is determined that the relevant test results have started or have been reviewed.

[0158] Based on this, in one embodiment, the fourth control command is used to control one or more devices to continuously output the third prompt information;

[0159] Correspondingly, the control device 200 is also configured to:

[0160] Send a fifth control command to one or more devices, which is used to control the one or more devices to stop outputting the third prompt message.

[0161] In this embodiment, after receiving the fourth control command, one or more devices will continue to output the third prompt information. Only after receiving the fifth control command sent by the control device 200 will these devices stop outputting the third prompt information to ensure that the first prompt information can be noticed by relevant medical personnel.

[0162] Furthermore, in practical applications, the salience of the third prompt can be gradually increased during the continuous output of the information, thereby increasing the likelihood that medical staff who have not yet noticed the third prompt will quickly become aware of it. For example, the flashing frequency of the light-emitting device can be gradually increased, the light color of the light-emitting device can change from yellow to red, the volume of the sound-emitting device can be gradually increased, the sound frequency of the sound-emitting device can be gradually increased, and the images and / or graphics and / or text and / or dynamic images displayed on the display interface, or the display configuration of the display interface, can all be changed to achieve a more timely prompting effect.

[0163] In practical applications, the sending of the fifth control command by the control device 200 can be triggered manually or automatically. In one embodiment, sending the fifth control command to one or more devices includes:

[0164] In response to a third indication message received from the LIS system, a fifth control command is sent to one or more devices, wherein the third indication message indicates that a test report has been issued for the second sample to be tested that has completed testing, or that it has entered the test report review process; and / or,

[0165] In response to a received third user operation, a fifth control command is sent to one or more devices, the third user operation being used to instruct one or more devices to stop outputting the third prompt message.

[0166] On the one hand, since medical staff mostly operate on the LIS system to review test results and issue test reports, the LIS system can immediately know the testing status of the corresponding sample. In this embodiment, when the LIS system learns that the corresponding sample has entered the test result review process, or has completed the review of test results and the issuance of test reports, it indicates that the third prompt information has received the attention of medical staff, and the medical staff have begun subsequent review work based on the third prompt information. At this time, the LIS system sends a third instruction information to the control device 200, so that after learning the current testing status of the sample, the control device 200 sends a fifth control command to one or more devices that output the third prompt information, thereby stopping the output of the third prompt information.

[0167] On the other hand, medical personnel can also input a third user operation into any device of the sample analysis system, which can then be transmitted to the control device 200. In this case, the control device 200 sends a fifth control command to one or more devices that output the first prompt information, thereby stopping the output of the third prompt information. The third user operation can be executed after the relevant medical personnel have begun or completed the issuance of the test report for the sample to be tested, indicating that the third prompt information has received the attention of the medical personnel and that the medical personnel have begun subsequent review work based on the third prompt information.

[0168] In one embodiment, after detecting that the sample measuring device 100 has output test data for any second sample to be tested on one or more test items, a fourth control command is output, including:

[0169] After detecting that the sample measuring device has output the test data of any second sample under test on all or part of the corresponding test items, the fourth control command is output.

[0170] Some of the test items represent one or more pre-defined test items.

[0171] In this embodiment, for the second sample to be tested, as one implementation method, the control device 200 can output the fourth control command after all the test results of the second sample to be tested have been obtained.

[0172] As another implementation, if the second sample to be tested involves many tests and the testing time varies, the control device 200 can output the fourth control command after the test results for some of the tests on the second sample to be tested are obtained. Based on this, when the second sample to be tested involves multiple tests, it is not necessary to wait for all test results to be output; instead, the fourth control command can be issued when the output of critical test results is urgently needed. In practical applications, the test items that can trigger the output of the fourth control command are one or more pre-set test items. For example, coagulation index-related test items can be pre-set. When the test result for the coagulation index-related test item is obtained, it is not necessary to wait for all test results for the sample. At this time, the control device 200 can issue the fourth control command, thereby prioritizing the review of the test data and issuing the test report, so as not to delay the subsequent diagnosis or emergency treatment of patients with myocardial infarction or stroke.

[0173] Furthermore, based on the same inventive concept as the embodiments described above, in this application embodiment, prompts can also be provided for the output of test results for other types of samples to be tested. Therefore, in one embodiment, the control device 200 is further configured to:

[0174] After detecting that the sample testing device 100 outputs the test data of the first sample to be tested, a third control command is output. The first sample to be tested represents a sample whose test data includes critical index values. The third control command is used to control one or more devices to output a second prompt message. The second prompt message is used to indicate that the test data of the first sample to be tested includes critical index values.

[0175] Here, the one or more devices used to output the second prompt information may include one or more devices inside the sample analysis system and / or devices outside the sample analysis system. Specifically, the devices inside the sample analysis system include: all or part of the sample analyzers in the sample measurement device 100, and / or, the middleware devices of the sample analysis system; the devices outside the sample analysis system include: devices that support access to LIS, and / or, terminal devices for setting up medical staff, and / or, smart central control screens.

[0176] In addition, the output methods of the second prompt information include, but are not limited to: sound output, photoelectric output, and display interface output.

[0177] Regarding the output of the second prompt message, the available devices and output methods can be referenced from the relevant output schemes for the third prompt message described above, and will not be repeated here. It should be noted that the output method and / or output device for the second prompt message must be different from that for the third prompt message to avoid confusion and ensure inspection efficiency.

[0178] Furthermore, for the second sample to be tested, if the test result of that sample contains critical indicators, a third alert message can be output using a more effective warning method. For example, for a second sample with a normal test result, a third alert message can be output via three short beeps followed by one long beep. However, for a second sample with a test result containing critical indicators, a third alert message can be output via rapid and continuous beeps to provide a stronger warning effect and further ensure that relevant medical personnel can promptly conduct subsequent review of test results and issue test reports.

[0179] In one embodiment, after detecting that the sample measuring device 100 outputs the test data of the first sample to be tested, a third control command is output, including:

[0180] In response to the third indication information sent by the corresponding device, after detecting that the sample measuring device 100 outputs the test data of the first sample to be tested, the third control command is output to the corresponding device, wherein the third indication information indicates that the corresponding device is allowed to respond to the third control command.

[0181] In practical applications, a function switch can be set for the critical indicator value prompting function in the control device 200. Only when the prompting function is turned on will the control device 200 control one or more devices to output a second prompting message in response to the occurrence of critical indicator values.

[0182] In addition, in some cases, the control device 200 needs permission or authorization from the relevant device before it can control such device to output a second prompt message through a third control command.

[0183] In practical applications, the control device 200 can initiate a request to the first device to request permission to respond to the third control command. Alternatively, the first device can send the third instruction information to the control device 200 itself. Or, medical personnel can input the third instruction information into the control device 200.

[0184] Through the above scheme, the test results of samples meeting the set conditions can be transmitted to medical staff in the laboratory department more quickly, enabling these test results to be reviewed in a timely manner, thereby speeding up the issuance of test reports and improving the testing efficiency of the laboratory department. Based on this, medical staff in other related departments in clinical settings can promptly carry out subsequent diagnosis and treatment for patients. Especially in the rescue process of myocardial infarction or stroke, the sample analysis system provided in this application embodiment can help to carry out the rescue process in a race against time, effectively reducing the time cost of information transmission in clinical settings.

[0185] In this embodiment, the control device 200 includes a processor and a storage medium. The processor may be an integrated circuit chip with signal processing capabilities. During implementation, the logic of the control device 200 can be achieved through integrated logic circuits in the processor's hardware or through software instructions. The processor can be a general-purpose processor, a digital signal processor (DSP), or other programmable logic devices, discrete gate or transistor logic devices, discrete hardware components, etc. A general-purpose processor can be a microprocessor or any conventional processor. The logic implementation of the electronic device can be directly manifested by the execution of a hardware decoding processor, or by a combination of hardware and software modules in the decoding processor.
