Title:
AUTOMATED ANALYSIS DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/159359
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
There has been a problem in that if testing involves measurements with a plurality of different samples for the same patient, and if a measurement at one analysis unit stalls, then the measurement results are not completely available for the patient even though measurements with other testing devices have been completed, and thus the measurement results cannot be reported to a clinician. Provided is an automated analysis device that comprises the following: a first measurement unit comprising a reaction disc for retaining a plurality of reaction cells containing a mixed solution of sample and reagent on a circumference, a light source for irradiating the mixed solution contained in the reaction cells with light, and a light-receiving unit for detecting the irradiated light; a cleaning mechanism for cleaning the reaction cells having undergone measurement at the first measurement unit; disposable reaction containers for containing the mixed solution of sample and reagent; a second measurement unit that has a plurality of measurement channels for retaining the disposable reaction containers, and comprises a light source for irradiating the disposable reaction containers retained in each of the plurality of measurement channels with light, and a light-receiving unit for detecting the irradiated light; a read unit for reading identification information appended to a sample container containing a sample; and a control unit for controlling an analysis condition for the sample on the basis of the information that has been read. If, for a plurality of samples having identification information that indicates the same patient, a first sample for which a testing item that should be measured by the first measurement unit has been ordered and a second sample for which a testing item that should be measured by the second measurement unit has been ordered furthermore have the same identification information pertaining to testing, then the control unit determines, on the basis of a timing at which the measurement for either the first sample or the second sample is to be performed or a timing at which the measurement therefor is to be completed, the timing at which the measurement for the other sample is to be performed, and the relevant retained sample containers are conveyed on the basis of this determined measurement sequence.
