Sample processing apparatus management system, sample processing apparatus and management apparatus, and management method

摘要

Provided is a sample processing apparatus management system, sample processing apparatuses and a management apparatus, and a management method that can accurately and easily adjust the respective sample processing apparatuses irrespective of their individual differences. When abnormality has occurred in a sample analyzer, the sample analyzer requests approval for self-adjustment from a management server. The management server determines whether to permit performance of the self-adjustment, and when having determined to permit the self-adjustment, notifies the sample analyzer of the approval for the self-adjustment. When the approval for the self-adjustment has been notified of, the sample analyzer performs the self-adjustment.

主权项

1. A sample processing apparatus management system comprising:
a sample processing apparatus that processes samples; a management apparatus communicably connected to the sample processing apparatus; and a client apparatus communicably connected to the management apparatus, the sample processing apparatus comprising:
a sample processing controller configured to:
detect an abnormality as an event for starting a self-adjustment, the self-adjustment being an operation performed based on an approval of the management apparatus; andcommand the sample processing apparatus to perform the self-adjustment; a first communication interface configured to transmit, to the management apparatus, a request for an approval of the self-adjustment when the controller detects the event, before the self-adjustment is performed, the management apparatus comprising:
a management controller; anda second communication interface,
wherein the second communications interface is configured to transmit and receive information to and from the sample processing apparatus and the client apparatus;wherein the management controller is configured to:
determine whether to approve the request when the second communication interface receives the request transmitted from the sample processing apparatus, andwherein the second communication interface is configured to transmit the abnormality information to the client apparatus when the management controller determines the request is not approved, and when the management controller determines the request is approved, to transmit, to the sample processing apparatus, the approval of the request to perform the self-adjustment,wherein the sample processing controller is configured to control the sample processing apparatus to perform the self-adjustment, when the first communication interface receives the approval of the request transmitted from the management apparatus.
