Emergency Blood Testing Apparatus Automatic Analysis Trigger
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing blood testing apparatuses require multiple user operations, which can lead to delays and errors during medical emergencies, as they need to be manually operated through various buttons and interfaces, especially in unstable environments like ambulances.
Innovation Solution
A blood testing apparatus with a loader, controller, and display that automatically starts analysis upon input of a test medium in emergency mode, using a trigger signal generated by scanning identification information, reducing user intervention and minimizing errors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual operation through multiple buttons is used, then the blood testing apparatus can perform comprehensive control functions, but the operation time increases and user input errors occur
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-sets an emergency mode that automatically activates upon detecting specific conditions (such as vibration patterns or specific button sequences), eliminating the need for users to manually navigate through multiple operation steps during time-critical situations. The loader and analysis functions are pre-configured to execute automatically once triggered.
Solution Approach 2:
The blood testing apparatus performs self-service by automatically initiating the analysis process when the loader is activated. The system detects the insertion of the test medium, automatically starts the analysis without requiring additional user inputs, and manages the entire testing sequence autonomously, reducing both time and potential for user error.
2Productivity
If automatic analysis is implemented, then the operation time is reduced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The controller serves multiple functions: it manages normal operation mode with full user interaction, detects emergency conditions through various sensors (vibration, position), activates emergency mode automatically, and controls the loader and analysis functions. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated components for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The loader acts as an intermediary component that bridges the physical test medium insertion and the digital analysis initiation. It includes detection mechanisms (such as sensors or switches) that automatically signal the controller when the test medium is properly positioned, triggering the analysis sequence without requiring additional user input or complex direct coupling between components.
3Reliability
If multiple user operations are required, then the blood testing apparatus can ensure proper procedure followed, but the ease of operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
During emergency operation, the system performs self-service by automatically executing the complete testing procedure once the test medium is loaded. The controller manages the entire sequence including sample processing, analysis, and result generation without requiring users to perform intermediate steps, making the system both simple to operate and reliable in emergency contexts.

AI summary
A blood testing apparatus includes a loader configured to receive a test medium, the test medium including a test object to be tested; a controller configured to perform control to operate the loader to receive the test medium in response to receiving an input of a trigger signal indicating a test start in an emergency mode; a display configured to display a user interface screen indicating the emergency mode; and an analyzer configured to automatically start analysis of the test object under the control of the controller when the test medium is received.
