Point-of-care medical analyzers, such as blood-gas analyzers, indicate a wide range of medical conditions and such analyses have, thus, found widespread use in
medical practice. However, such point-of-care medical analyzers require frequent
reagent replenishment. Organising for the replacement of reagents may be difficult, and is often undesirable to store large amount of
reagent at a particular point-of-care. Accordingly, the present application describes an apparatus for generating predicted consumable state data of a point-of-care medical analyzer, comprising an input unit and a processingunit. The input unit is configured to receive initial consumable state data of a point-of-care medical analyzer defining an initial amount of a point-of-care medical analyzer consumable present in thepoint-of-care medical analyzer, and an analyzer identifier at a first
time index. The input unit is configured to receive a second
time index. The
processing unit is configured to generate predictedconsumable state data defining an amount of the point-of-care medical analyzer consumable predicted to be present in the point-of-care medical analyzer at the second
time index using a predicted consumable depletion model selected using at least the analyzer identifier and the initial consumable state data. The predicted consumable depletion model comprises (i) a consumable model of the point-of-care medical analyzer defining a consumable
depletion rate of the point-of-care medical analyzer consumable in the point-of-care medical analyzer for a test, and (ii) a point-of-care medical analyzer use model defining an occurrence rate of the test. The predicted consumable state data is generated by the
processing unit based on an aggregation of the initial amount of a point-of-care medical analyzer consumable present in the point-of-care medical analyzer, and the outputs of at least the consumable model and the point-of-care medical analyzer use model between the first time index and the second time index.
