DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

When working conditions of the analyzer changes, the sample transfer cannot be adjusted in time, resulting in low efficiency and waste of resources.

The present application will be further described below with reference to accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the preset application, not to limit the present application.

In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a method for automatically docking with an analyzer is provided. Taking the method applied to a computer device as an example, the method includes the following steps.

Step 102: test information on a sample to be tested and status information on the analyzer are obtained, where the status information indicates that the analyzer is in an idle state or a working state.

The idle state indicates that there is no sample in the analyzer for testing, and the working state indicates that there is a sample in the analyzer for testing.

This step further includes: obtaining reagent information on the analyzer; and replacing and/or supplementing reagent according to the reagent information.

The reagent information includes reagent expiration, insufficient reagent remaining, reagent abnormality, or the like.

In one embodiment, real-time information on the analyzer is obtained. If the reagent information indicates the reagent expiration, the expired reagent will be replaced with a reagent within a warranty period. If the reagent information indicates that there is insufficient reagent remaining, the corresponding reagent will be supplemented. If the reagent information indicates that the reagent is abnormal, the reagent in the analyzer will be replaced to avoid waste or delay in results.

This steps further include: obtaining working information on the analyzer; and generating corresponding working prompts according to the working information.

The working information includes information of abnormality of the analyzer, waste liquid and waste amount, item activation status, dilution, or the like.

In one embodiment, the quantity of the waste liquid and waste of the analyzer is monitored in real time, which can remind a user to deal with the abnormality of the analyzer and to deal with the full waste liquid and waste in time. Through the item activation status of the analyzer, it is possible to avoid the samples from entering the analyzer when the quality control is out of control and thus avoid waste and delay in result. If the analyzer is monitored to be abnormal, the analyzer can be maintained and controlled. According to the dilution information, the analyzer can automatically retest the dilution.

This steps further includes: obtaining device information on the analyzer; and generating corresponding control instruction according to the device information.

The device information includes at least one of calibration message and maintenance message.

In one embodiment, a calibration instruction is generated according to the calibration message, to enable the analyzer to perform calibration configuration and calibration applications. A maintenance instruction is generated according to the maintenance message to enable the analyzer to be maintained and perform control.

Step 104: If the analyzer is in the idle state, the sample to be tested is transferred to the analyzer.

Step 106: the sample to be tested is tested according to the test information.

This step further includes: obtaining a test item corresponding to the sample to be tested according to the test information; and detecting the sample to be tested according to the test item.

In one embodiment, according to the test information, the test item corresponding to the sample to be tested is queried from a database of the sample to be tested, and the analyzer detects the sample to be tested according to the corresponding test item.

The method further includes: obtaining test result information of the analyzer; and controlling the analyzer to perform corresponding calibration or retesting according to the test result information.

The test result information includes information of dilution result, calibration result, or the like.

In one embodiment, if the test result information indicates the dilution result, when the dilution result is out of a preset range, the analyzer automatically retests the dilution. If the test result information indicates the calibration result, when the calibration result is abnormal, the analyzer is controlled to perform calibration configuration and calibration application.

In the above-mentioned method for automatically docking with the analyzer, by obtaining the status information on the analyzer, the sample to be tested can be transferred to the analyzer for testing in time, without requiring maintenance personnel to adjust the analyzer according to the status information on analyzer, which reduces labor costs and improves the working efficiency of the analyzer.

In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, another method for automatically docking with an analyzer is provided. The method for automatically docking with a plurality of analyzers includes the following steps.

Step 202: positions of a plurality of analyzers in an idle state and a position of a sample to be tested are obtained.

Step 204: a plurality of transfer paths from the sample to be tested to the plurality of analyzers are obtained according to the positions of the plurality of analyzers and the position of the sample to be tested.

In one embodiment, the paths from the position of the sample to be tested to the plurality of analyzers are calculated.

Step 206: distances of the plurality of transfer paths are analyzed, and the sample to be tested is transferred to the corresponding analyzer with a shortest transfer path.

In one embodiment, the distances of the plurality of transfer paths are analyzed, and the sample to be tested is transferred to the analyzer with the shortest transfer path, which reduces the transfer time of the samples to be tested and improves the working efficiency of the analyzer.

The method further includes:

Obtaining positions of a plurality of samples to be tested;

Obtaining a plurality of transfer paths from the plurality of samples to be tested to the plurality of analyzers according to the positions of the plurality of analyzers and the positions of the plurality of samples to be tested; and

Analyzing distances of the plurality of transfer paths, and transferring the samples to be tested to the corresponding analyzer with a shortest transfer path.

In one embodiment, the plurality of samples to be tested are located at different positions. The positions of the plurality of analyzers and the positions of the plurality of samples to be tested are calculated to obtain the plurality of transfer paths from the plurality of samples to be tested to the plurality of analyzers. The plurality of samples to be tested are transferred to the corresponding analyzer with the shortest transfer path, which reduces the transfer time of the samples to be tested and improves the working efficiency of the analyzer.

The method further includes:

Obtaining a priority of the plurality of samples to be tested; and

Transferring the plurality of the samples to be tested in an order of priority according to the priority.

In one embodiment, if there are conflicts between the transfer paths of the plurality of the samples to be tested, the samples are transferred in the order of priority of the samples to be tested to ensure that the samples to be tested with a higher priority enter the analyzer for detection preferentially.

It should be understood that although various steps in the flowcharts of FIGS. 1 to 2 are shown in sequence as indicated by the arrows, these steps are not necessarily performed in sequence in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless specifically stated in this specification, performing these steps is not strictly limited in order, and these steps can be performed in other orders.

The execution order of these sub-steps or stages is not necessarily performed in sequence, but may be performed in turn or alternately with other steps or at least a part of sub-steps or stages of other steps.
