  The management server 10 manages the automatic analyzers A1 to A3, B1, and B2 by communicating with the automatic analyzers A1 to A3, B1, and B2 via the network N. In accordance with the contents of the transmission information transmitted from the automatic analyzers A1 to A3, B1, and B2, the management server 10 sends the transmission information to the transfer destination registered in advance for each of the automatic analyzers A1 to A3, B1, and B2. Forward. The management server 10 has a database 20 that stores various types of information.

  This transfer destination is a terminal device possessed by an operator of the automatic analyzers A1 to A3, B1, B2, for example, the portable terminal 50 possessed by the operator of the automatic analyzer A1 in the facility A. And such a transfer destination is automatic analyzer A1-A3 by the operator of each automatic analyzer A1-A3, B1, B2 at the time of starting analysis processing in each automatic analyzer A1-A3, B1, B2. When B1 and B2 log in, they are input by the respective operators in the automatic analyzers A1 to A3, B1 and B2.

  Here, the management server 10 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the management server 10 includes a control unit 11 that controls the processing operation of each component of the management server 10, an input unit 13 that inputs each instruction information, and a calculation unit that performs point calculation processing. 15, an output unit 14 for outputting information processed by the management server 10, and a transmission / reception unit 12 having a function as an interface for transmitting / receiving information according to a predetermined format via the communication network N. The calculation unit 15 includes an addition processing unit 16 and a subtraction processing unit 17, and each performs cumulative addition processing and subtraction processing according to instructions from the control unit. The control unit 11 creates device information D1 and alarm data information D2 to be stored in the database 20, and updates the information stored in the database 20.

  In addition, each of the automatic analyzers A1 to A3, B1, and B2 transmits information related to each of the automatic analyzers A1 to A3, B1, and B2 to the management server 10 via the network N. Each of the automatic analyzers A1 to A3, B1, and B2 periodically transmits connection information indicating a connection state between the management server 10 and the automatic analyzers A1 to A3, B1, and B2 to the management server 10. Further, each of the automatic analyzers A1 to A3, B1 and B2 transmits state information indicating the operation state of the automatic analyzers A1 to A3, B1 and B2 itself to the management server 10. For example, the status information includes information indicating that the analysis process that has been performed is completed, temperature information of the sample, the reagent, and the liquid in the reaction container. In addition, each of the automatic analyzers A1 to A3, B1, and B2 transmits abnormality information indicating that an abnormality has occurred in each of the automatic analyzers A1 to A3, B1, and B2 to the management server 10.

  Then, each automatic analyzer A1-A3, B1, B2 is demonstrated. In FIG. 1, the structure in automatic analyzer A1, B1, for example among each automatic analyzer A1-A3, B1, B2 is shown. As shown in FIG. 1, the automatic analyzers A1 and B1 dispense measuring reagents 30 and 40 that optically measure a reaction occurring in the reaction container by dispensing a reagent corresponding to the specimen and the test item into the reaction container. Control units 31 and 41 for controlling the processing and operation of each component part of the automatic analyzers A1 and B1, input units 32 and 42 for inputting various information, and the measurement results by the measurement mechanisms 30 and 40, the samples.

  Here, the point addition processing according to the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the point addition processing performed by the addition processing unit 16 in the management server 10.

  First, when the management server 10 receives alarm data corresponding to a failure from the automatic analyzer, the control unit 11 instructs the addition processing unit 16 to perform point addition processing (step S102: Yes). Upon receiving the alarm data, the addition processing unit 16 cumulatively adds the current addition point to the cumulative point of the corresponding automatic analyzer (step S104). Here, when the accumulated points after the cumulative addition process in the apparatus state set in the preset point area exceed the upper limit value of the point area to which the cumulative points before the cumulative addition process belonged (step S106: Yes) ) To change the set device state. If the apparatus state before the cumulative addition process is “Warning”, which is the highest state (step S110: Yes), the addition processing unit 16 notifies the person in charge by e-mail or the like without changing the apparatus state. This is notified to the control unit 11 (step S114). When the device state is other than “Warning” (step S110: No), the addition processing unit 16 notifies the control unit 11 to change the set device state (step S112). Thereafter, the addition processing unit 16 notifies the control unit 11 to notify the person in charge that the device state has been changed by e-mail or the like (step S114), and warns the time, cumulative points, and expiration date when the alarm data is received. Registration in the data information D2 (step S116).

  Here, in the present invention, when the accumulated point is 50 or less, the apparatus state is set to “Normal”, and when it reaches 51 to 80, it is set to “Cation”. Further, when the accumulated point exceeds 81, “Warning” is set, and the apparatus state to be set becomes the highest level. The apparatus state indicating the apparatus state is changed by the above-described three-stage point area.

  Further, in step S106, when the accumulated point subjected to the cumulative addition process does not exceed the upper limit value of the point area to which the cumulative point before the cumulative addition process belongs (step S106: No), the addition processing unit 16 is set. It is determined whether or not the device status is “Warning” (step S108). Here, if the set device state is “Warning” (step S108: Yes), the process proceeds to step S114, and the person in charge is informed that a failure has occurred at the highest level of the failure occurrence state of the device. Is notified to the control unit 11. If the device status is other than “Warning” (step S108: No), the addition processing unit 16 proceeds to step S116 and registers the time, cumulative point, and expiration date when alarm data is received in the alarm data information D2. To do. By performing this point addition process every time alarm data is received, points are added each time a failure occurs.

  Next, the point subtraction process according to the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing point subtraction processing performed by the subtraction processing unit 17 in the management server 10. In the first embodiment, the point subtraction process is performed when the point addition process is performed. That is, the point subtraction process is performed when the management server receives alarm data from the automatic analyzer.

  When the management server 10 receives alarm data from the automatic analyzer, the control unit 11 instructs the subtraction processing unit 17 to perform subtraction processing. First, the subtraction processing unit 17 determines whether or not there is alarm data whose expiration date has passed from the data registered in the alarm data information D2 (step S202). Here, when there is alarm data whose expiration date has passed (step S202: Yes), the subtraction processing unit 17 subtracts the subtraction point of the alarm data from the accumulated point (step S204). Thereafter, the subtraction processing unit 17 determines whether or not the accumulated points after the subtraction process are equal to or greater than the lower limit value of the point area to which the accumulated points before the subtraction process belonged (step S206). When the accumulated points after the subtraction process are below the lower limit value of the point area to which the accumulated points before the subtraction process belonged (step S206: No), the subtraction processing unit 17 accumulates the points after the subtraction before the subtraction process. The lower limit value of the point area to which the point belongs is set (step S208), and the time when the alarm data is received and the accumulated point after the subtraction process are registered in the alarm data information D2 (step S210). Here, when the accumulated point after the subtraction process is greater than or equal to the lower limit value of the point area to which the accumulated point before the subtraction process belonged in step S206 (step S206: Yes), the subtraction processing unit 17 proceeds to step S210. The time when the alarm data is received and the accumulated points after the subtraction process are registered in the alarm data information D2.

  If there is no alarm data whose expiration date has passed in step S202 (step S202: No), the subtraction processing unit 17 proceeds to step S210 and registers the time when the subtraction process was performed and the accumulated points. The points are subtracted by performing the above-described point subtraction process every time alarm data is received. In addition, the accumulation point obtained by performing the accumulation addition process performed at the substantially same timing is used for the accumulation point used for subtraction. For this reason, it is preferable to perform the subtraction after the cumulative addition process. Further, the cumulative addition process may be performed using the cumulative points obtained by performing the subtraction process.

  Subsequently, the device information D1 will be described with reference to FIG. The apparatus information D1 is an information table indicating an alarm number corresponding to a failure of each of the automatic analyzers A1 to A3, an addition point, a subtraction point, and an expiration date for the alarm number. FIG. 4 is an information table 301 of the automatic analyzer A1. The information table 302 for the automatic analyzer A2, the information table 303 for the automatic analyzer A3, and the information table for each automatic analyzer are created. The addition point, subtraction point, and expiration date are determined in consideration of the effect on the device, etc. The value of the addition point increases as the effect on the device increases, and the expiration date has an effect on the device. The larger the value is, the longer the time limit is set. When a failure occurs in the automatic analyzer A1, an addition point is output from the alarm number corresponding to the alarm data of the failure according to an instruction from the control unit 11, and the addition processing unit 16 performs a cumulative addition process using the addition point. If there is alarm data whose expiration date has passed, a subtraction point of the alarm number is output according to an instruction from the control unit 11, and subtraction processing is performed by the subtraction processing unit 17.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a list of data registered in the alarm data information D2. FIG. 5 shows an alarm data information table 401 of the automatic analyzer A1 at the facility A, and an alarm data information table 402 of the automatic analyzer A2 and an alarm data information table 403 of the automatic analyzer A3 are also created. The alarm data information table 401 includes the time at which alarm data is received, the alarm number of the alarm data received at that time, the applicable addition or subtraction point, the expiration date of the alarm data, the cumulative point, The device status representing the status is registered. The alarm number corresponds to that in FIG. 4, and R indicates that the subtraction process is performed. In addition, in the column of addition / subtraction points, a point with a minus (−) in front of a number indicates a subtraction point.

  In FIG. 5, times T1 to T5, T7, T10, and T15 are times when alarm data is received and cumulative addition processing and subtraction processing are performed. Time T0 is device startup time, and times T13 and T19 are manual. Is the time when the device state is changed. When the person in charge of the device confirms the alarm data, it is possible to manually change the accumulated points. If the accumulated points are changed manually, the expiration date of the data registered so far becomes invalid. In FIG. 5, the expiration date of the alarm data at times T3, T7, and T10 is invalidated by the manual change at time T13, and the expiration date of the alarm data at time T15 is invalidated by the manual change at time T19. In addition, the subtraction point at T7 is subtracted by the subtraction process because the accumulated point falls below the lower limit value of the point area corresponding to the device state due to the subtraction process subtracting 5 points, which is originally a numerical value in parentheses. It is shown that the subtracted points are 4 points. In addition, at times T4 and T7 when the accumulated points move to the upper point area and at time T10 when the cumulative addition processing is performed when the apparatus state is “Warning”, the person in charge of the apparatus is notified that a failure has occurred by e-mail or the like. The

  Here, FIG. 6 is a graph showing a transition of accumulated points at each time corresponding to FIG. 5 and points to be added and subtracted. The upper part of FIG. 6 is a graph relating to time and accumulated points, and the lower part shows a graph of addition points to be added to time and subtraction points to be subtracted, and the upper part and the lower part coincide with each other.

  At time T7 in FIG. 6, the value of the cumulative point P1 is originally obtained by the cumulative addition process and the subtraction process, but the apparatus state is changed to “Warning” by the cumulative addition process. Since the value cannot be obtained in the point area of “Caution”, the apparatus state is set to the lower limit value P2 of the point area of “Warning” in the subtraction process. In addition, at times T13 and T19 when the accumulated point shifts to the lower point area, the person in charge of the device confirms the alarm data and indicates that the device state is changed to the lower device state.

  FIG. 7 shows a pop-up displayed on the screen when a person in charge accesses through the network N in addition to the mobile terminal 50 from the base station 60 as a method for notifying when the apparatus state is changed due to an increase in accumulated points. An example is shown. When the device state is changed, the model as shown in FIG. 7, the date and time when the device state is changed, and the changed device state are displayed through the network N. In addition to the portable terminal, the person in charge of the apparatus and the person in charge of the manufacturer can confirm the display from the management server via the network, so that it is possible to take early measures against a failure that occurs in the automatic analyzer.

  Here, according to the conventional method for grasping the state of the automatic analyzer, the person in charge on the client side is notified when a failure occurs, and the person in charge of the manufacturer is contacted at that time. In addition, because there is no information on the failure, the person in charge of the manufacturer will investigate after the contact to confirm the magnitude of the failure and take countermeasures, so the time until the client contacts and the person in charge of the manufacturer It took time to arrive at the site and to confirm the failure.

  On the other hand, in the first embodiment, by giving points to each failure, it becomes possible to confirm the size of the failure early, and the person in charge of the manufacturer can also confirm the alarm information early. Therefore, it is possible to devise countermeasures against failures at an early stage. In addition, by setting an expiration date for each failure, not only will the points accumulate due to the occurrence of the failure, but what will greatly affect the device will remain as data for a long time, so the device status will change due to the failure point having a relatively small impact It is difficult to adjust the accumulated point.

(Embodiment 2)
Next, the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the second embodiment, the subtraction process is performed when the expiration date has passed. FIG. 8 shows alarm data information D2 according to the second exemplary embodiment. The reception time of alarm data indicating a failure is the same as that in FIG. 5 of the first embodiment, and the failure is the same. FIG. 9 shows a graph corresponding to FIG. The upper part of FIG. 9 is a graph regarding time and accumulated points, and the lower part shows a graph of addition points to be added to time and subtraction points to be subtracted. The upper part and the lower part have the same time.

  8 and 9, the subtraction process is performed at times T6, T8, T9, and T18, which are the expiration times of the respective alarm data. Each time corresponds to the expiration date of previously registered alarm data. In addition, at times T13 and T19, the person in charge of the device has confirmed the alarm data and indicates that the device state has been changed to a lower device state. The expiration date of the alarm data at times T3, T7 and T10 is invalidated by manual change at time T13. In addition, at times T4 and T10 when the accumulated points move to the upper point area, the person in charge of the apparatus is notified that a failure has occurred by e-mail or the like. In addition, in the column of addition / subtraction points, a point with a minus (−) in front of a number indicates a subtraction point.

  In the second embodiment, since the subtraction process is performed when the expiration date has passed, it is possible to process the accumulated points more strictly. In Embodiment 1, since the subtraction process is performed when the cumulative addition process is performed, the time and labor for the process are reduced, but the subtraction process is not performed unless data indicating a failure is received. When no failure occurs and the device is stable, the accumulated points remain without being subtracted. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, since the subtraction process is performed when the expiration date has passed, the subtraction process is performed even when a failure does not occur and the apparatus is stable, and the accumulated points are processed more appropriately. Make it possible.

(Embodiment 3)
Subsequently, Embodiment 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. In the third embodiment, the subtraction process is performed every predetermined time. FIG. 10 shows alarm data information D2 according to the third embodiment. The alarm data indicating the failure is received at the same time and failure as in FIG. 5 of the first embodiment, and the subtraction process is performed every time a predetermined time elapses. In the third embodiment, the predetermined time is set to 30 minutes, and it is checked whether there is alarm data whose expiration date has passed every 30 minutes, and there is alarm data whose expiration date has passed. Subtract processing.

  In FIG. 10, subtraction processing is performed at times T1, T4, T6, T8, T11, T12, T14, T16, and T17. Each time is subtracted by checking whether there is alarm data whose expiration date has passed every 30 minutes, with time T1 as the subtraction start time. The manual change at time T13 invalidates the expiration date of the alarm data at times T3, T7 and T10, and the manual change at time T19 invalidates the expiration date of the alarm data at time T15. In addition, at times T4 and T10 when the accumulated points move to the upper point area, the person in charge of the apparatus is notified that a failure has occurred by e-mail or the like. Note that a notification that the apparatus state is “Warning” may also be made when the time T11 is subtracted. In addition, in the column of addition / subtraction points, a point with a minus (−) in front of a number indicates a subtraction point.

  Here, a graph corresponding to FIG. 10 is shown in FIG. The upper part of FIG. 11 is a graph relating to time and accumulated points, and the lower part shows a graph of addition points to be added to the time and subtraction points to be subtracted. The upper part and the lower part coincide with each other.

  The lower graph of FIG. 11 shows that the subtraction process is performed in the time divided at equal intervals except for the times T13 and T19 when the apparatus state is changed manually. Further, the manual change of the accumulated points at times T13 and T19 is performed at the timing of the person in charge.

  In the third embodiment, since the subtraction process is periodically performed, the management server and the automatic analyzer always keep the latest accumulated point information by adjusting the time for periodic transmission and reception between the management server and the automatic analyzer. Allows management.

  In the first to third embodiments described above, the cumulative addition process and the subtraction process may be performed by the calculation unit of each automatic analyzer, and information such as cumulative points may be transmitted to the server. For example, the calculation unit 37 in the automatic analyzer A1 may store the results obtained by performing the cumulative addition process and the subtraction process in the storage unit 34, and may transmit the data obtained to the management server 10.
