Provided is an automatic analysis device capable of achieving reagent suction not affected by atmospheric pressure and stabilizing a reagent supply amount and a residual reagent amount. Provided are a suction nozzle (suction part) 3, a discharge nozzle (discharge part) 4, a syringe 10, and a control part 102 for controlling and driving the syringe 10 to suck liquid from a first container 1 through the suction nozzle 3 and to discharge the liquid sucked through the suction nozzle 3 into a second container 2 through the discharge nozzle 4. The control part 102 controls suction time per session of the suction nozzle 3 from the first container 1 on the basis of the outside atmospheric pressure or the altitude of an immunoassay device (automatic analysis device) 101.

Provided are a pressure control system and a pressure control method with which it is possible to automatically adjust supply pressure of washing water without requiring a cumbersome work for adjusting and setting a target pressure value. A pressure control system of an automatic analyzer 100 comprises: probes 6, 7 that dispense liquid into liquid containers 5, 24; a first pump 2 that supplies washing water to the probes 6, 7 via flow paths 17-20; a second pump 3 that is provided between flow paths 17, 18 connecting the first pump 2 and the probes 6, 7 and supplies the washing water supplied from the first pump 2 to the probes 6, 7; a pressure sensor 21 that is provided in the flow paths 18-20 between the second pump 3 and the probes 6, 7 and measures the pressure in the flow paths 18-20; and an adjustment unit 11 that adjusts at least discharge pressure of the first pump 2 on the basis of the value of the pressure measured by the pressure sensor 21.

Provided is an automatic analysis device capable of restricting the activation of other software from software for executing an analysis operation. This automatic analysis device for analyzing a sample comprises: a storage unit that stores first software which is software for executing an analysis operation, second software which is software for executing a maintenance operation, and an authority table in which a user ID and an authority level are associated with each other; and a control unit that restricts activation of the second software from the first software on the basis of a collation result obtained by collating the authority table with the user ID of a user who has logged in to the first software.

To enable users to understand the status of automated analyzers. [Solution] The automatic analyzer according to this embodiment comprises a reagent storage unit and a control unit. The reagent storage unit has a turntable that rotatably holds a plurality of reagent containers containing reagents that react with a sample, a first lid that covers the turntable from above, and a second lid that covers the portion not covered by the first lid from above and is openable and closable. The control unit displays icons on a display screen that indicate the types of the plurality of reagent containers in the reagent storage unit, categorized into a plurality of groups, and also displays information to identify the reagent container corresponding to the opening when the second lid is opened.

In order to provide an automatic analysis device that, without reducing throughput, is capable of determining whether an abnormality does not occur in a dispensing mechanism and a specimen can be discharged at the bottom of a reaction container as expected, the automatic analysis device has the following structure.　The automatic analysis device comprises: a control unit that performs control so as to cause an arm vertical movement mechanism to lower a dispensing probe until the dispensing probe comes into contact with an object below, and to cause the arm vertical movement mechanism to move the dispensing probe upward after a detector detects the deviation of the dispensing probe from the normal position; and a determination unit that determines the presence or absence of an abnormality in the dispensing mechanism, on the basis of a first timing at which the detector no longer detects the deviation of the dispensing probe due to the downward movement of the dispensing probe by an elastic body.

The present invention adopts the following configuration in order to provide an automated analysis device and an automated analysis system capable of acquiring operation information of a periodically replaced component, the operation information being required for failure prediction related to the periodically replaced component, at a necessary timing without increasing a load on the automated analysis device.　Provided are an automated analysis device and an automated analysis system in which the automated analysis device is connected to a host system, the automated analysis device comprising: an analysis unit that analyzes a sample; a data acquisition unit that acquires operation information of a periodically replaced component to be operated when the analysis unit performs analysis; and a control unit that changes a number of times data is acquired per unit time by the data acquisition unit.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide an automated analyzer capable of improving analysis precision of blood serum. For said purpose, the present invention relates to an automated analyzer comprising: a liquid discharge mechanism that discharges a liquid into a reaction container; a photometer that acquires a luminous intensity at a time when the reaction container having accommodated therein the liquid discharged by the liquid discharge mechanism is irradiated with light; a mechanism control unit that controls the liquid discharge mechanism and the photometer; and a determination unit that determines the state of the reaction container on the basis of the luminous intensity acquired by the photometer. The determination unit determines whether or not the reaction container is contaminated with a separating agent, on the basis of a first luminous intensity acquired by the photometer when pure water is accommodated in the reaction container and a second luminous intensity acquired by the photometer when a surfactant-containing liquid is accommodated in the reaction container.
