Blood Analyzer Data Management Using Unified Product ID
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems for managing blood products do not effectively unify measurement results with other critical information, such as donor data, production history, and storage history, leading to fragmented data management and reduced traceability.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that uses product identification information from blood products as specimen identification information to associate measurement results with other relevant information in a database, ensuring unified management of blood product data across the entire lifecycle.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If measurement results are managed separately from other blood product information, then measurement precision can be maintained, but information completeness and traceability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges measurement results with other blood product information by using the same product identification information for both the blood product and its specimen. This integration allows all information to be managed together in a single database, improving information completeness while maintaining manageable complexity through standardized identification
2Productivity
If product identification information is used as specimen identification information, then information association efficiency improves, but measurement traceability may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by using product identification information for multiple purposes: identifying the blood product, identifying its specimen, and associating measurement results. This multi-functional use of identification information improves efficiency while maintaining reliability through consistent identification throughout the blood product lifecycle
Data Source
AI summary
Disclosed is a method for managing information on a blood product with a computer, including: obtaining a measurement result of a specimen, collected from the blood product, which is measured by a blood analyzer with product identification information of the blood product being used as specimen identification information of the specimen, and the specimen identification information; and in a database in which information on the blood product is stored in association with the product identification information, associating the measurement result with other information on the blood product other than the measurement result, on the basis of the product identification information used as the specimen identification information.
