Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the diversification of the functions of in vitro diagnostic instruments, the continuous increase in the number of detection items, the continuous increase in control units, and the continuous improvement of the automation level, in order to enable operators to clearly know the working state of the instrument and ensure the smooth progress of the diagnostic process, the indication of the state of in vitro diagnostic instruments by sound and light has emerged. At present, the state indication of in vitro diagnostic instruments mostly uses single-tone or multi-tone buzzers, and the conduction of the buzzer is controlled by a control board to emit different tones to achieve sound alarm. Its disadvantage is the lack of voice broadcast function. There is also the use of a music chip to achieve state indication broadcast, that is, on the basis of the music chip, a single-chip microcomputer control circuit is added to achieve the voice broadcast function; its disadvantage is that the voice content that a single voice chip can play is limited and the content is fixed and cannot be updated, or the voice content update method that can be supported is single, which is difficult to meet the generality requirements of in vitro diagnostic instruments, especially when the in vitro diagnostic instrument communicates with other systems or forms a pipeline operation, its disadvantages are particularly obvious.

[0022] The unit C receives the working state detection data sent by the unit B and sends the working state detection information to the unit A.

[0023] Advantageously or by way of example, unit A includes an industrial control computer, a power amplifier, a speaker, a touch screen, and a USB interface; the industrial control computer is connected to the input end of the power amplifier through a built-in audio codec circuit, and the output end of the power amplifier is connected to the input end of the speaker; the industrial control computer is communicatively connected to the touch screen through an HDMI interface to achieve human-machine interaction and provide audio file updates and text reminders.

[0024] Unit B includes: a single-chip microcomputer, an indicator driver circuit, an indicator light, and a detection sensor interface.

[0025] The control signal input end of the indicator driver circuit is connected to the control signal output end of the single-chip microcomputer. The control signal output end of the indicator driver circuit is respectively connected to multiple color indicator lights. In this embodiment, indicator lights of three colors, red, green, and yellow, are used and controlled by the single-chip microcomputer through the indicator driver circuit; for example, the green indicator light represents normal operation, the yellow indicator light represents a warning, and the red indicator light represents an instrument error or malfunction.

[0026] The detection sensor interface is used to collect the working state detection data of the sensors arranged in the execution unit and the detection unit of the in vitro diagnostic instrument, and output the working state detection data to the single-chip microcomputer. The single-chip microcomputer drives the corresponding indicator light to light up according to the working state detection data and sends the working state detection data to unit C.

[0027] Unit C is a switch, which is communicatively connected to unit A and unit B respectively through communication interfaces, and transmits the working state detection data sent by unit B to unit A.

[0028] Advantageously or by way of example, the communication interface of unit C is also communicatively connected to the hospital monitoring system or stand-alone systems and devices that need to form a pipeline operation, and sends the working state detection information to the hospital monitoring system or stand-alone systems and devices that need to form a pipeline operation; effectively solving the problem that in the current situation of a large number of hospital devices and complex scenarios, medical staff can remotely and timely and clearly know the working state of the current device / system, and then make the next step according to the working state.
