Technical Field

The embodiment of the invention relates to the technical field of biochemical analysis and immunoassay equipment, in particular to a sample detection method, a sample detection device and a storage medium.

Background

In clinical tests, a sample detection device such as a biochemical analyzer or an immunoassay analyzer is used to perform clinical test experiments. The sample detection device generally comprises an analysis module, a sample introduction processing system, operating software and the like. The analysis module is used for analyzing the analytes in serum, plasma and other human body fluids; the sample introduction processing system mainly has the functions of inputting, dispatching, transmitting, positioning and recovering the sample rack and the automatic identification function of the bar code information of the sample rack and the sample tube; the operation software automatically controls all functional modules or systems in the sample detection device to be matched with each other to complete sample introduction, data input and output of an analyzer, analysis result evaluation, quality control and the like.

The sample processing system of the sample detection device comprises: the system comprises a placing unit for placing the sample rack, a buffer unit, a scheduling unit, a front-end track and a recovery unit. The front-end track comprises a conventional track, an emergency treatment track and a return track, which are independent from each other and used for transmitting samples to the sample sucking position of the sample detection device in different links. The present sample handling system can identify emergency samples and routine samples. The priority of the emergency sample is higher than that of the conventional sample, namely, after the emergency sample is injected by the injection system, the emergency sample is preferentially subjected to a sample suction test. However, the emergency samples have no priority, and the emergency samples with the same priority are subjected to the suction test in sequence according to the sample injection sequence.

In some cases, hospitals have some very urgent samples (urgent samples) that require test reports to be generated within a specified time, and it is desirable to insert the urgent samples at any time during the test process. However, the current sample testing device cannot meet the requirement of the special-grade sample priority test, so that the special-grade sample is influenced by the conventional sample or the emergency sample which is in the sample sucking or in the front-end track before, and the test report cannot be generated on time.

Detailed Description

The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not limiting of the invention. It should be further noted that, for the convenience of description, only some of the structures related to the present invention are shown in the drawings, not all of the structures.

Example one

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a sample testing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is applicable to a case where emergency samples with higher priority are preferentially tested, and the method can be performed by a sample testing device, which can be a stand-alone or a combination of at least two analyzers of an immunoassay analyzer, a biochemical analyzer, or other analyzers, and includes an emergency track for conveying emergency sample racks, a normal track for conveying normal sample racks (or non-emergency sample racks), and a return track for conveying tested samples to a recovery area for a user to take. As shown in fig. 1, the method specifically includes:

s110, obtaining a sample priority detection instruction and information of a priority detection sample, wherein the information of the priority detection sample comprises sample identification information and test item information corresponding to the priority detection sample.

Generally, the sample to be tested comprises a conventional sample and an emergency sample, the conventional sample enters a conventional track of a front end track of the sample testing device through a conventional sample introduction channel and then reaches a sample suction position to be sucked and tested, and the emergency sample enters an emergency track of the front end track through an emergency sample introduction channel and then reaches the sample suction position to be sucked and tested. Wherein the emergency samples are higher in priority than the conventional samples, but there is no prioritization between the emergency samples. The priority detection sample referred to in this embodiment is the highest priority sample among the emergency samples, and may be referred to as "urgent sample" or "urgent sample". For example, there are a conventional sample and an emergency sample in the sample detection device, and each sample is queued in sequence for aspiration detection according to the normal detection procedure. In this case, if a blood sample of a patient with a very urgent disease needs to be tested and a test report is required to be obtained within a predetermined time, the blood sample has a higher priority than other emergency samples in the current sample testing device, and a sample sucking test needs to be performed preferentially.

When an emergency sample needing preferential detection exists, the sample detection device acquires a corresponding sample preferential detection instruction, acquires information of the preferential detection sample, and determines identification information of the sample and a test item of the sample. In one embodiment, the obtaining of the sample priority detection instruction and the information of the priority detection sample is to obtain the sample priority detection instruction when a priority detection function key of the sample detection device is triggered; and obtaining information of a priority detection sample associated with the sample priority detection instruction. The priority detection function keys are physical keys and/or virtual keys. The physical key can be a key at any position on the sample detection device convenient for a user to operate, and preferably can be arranged at a position close to the emergency treatment sample introduction channel. In addition, when the prior detection function key is a virtual key, a function key can be provided on a user interaction interface of the sample detection device through an application program, and a user triggers a sample prior detection instruction in a click or touch mode.

Furthermore, after the sample detection device obtains the sample priority detection instruction, the user is prompted to input the information of the priority detection sample, and the prompting mode can be that an information input interface pops up on a user interaction interface or the user is prompted to input related information through voice. A user can scan a bar code of a priority detection sample through a handheld scanner, and then a sample detection device queries identification Information and test item Information of the priority detection sample from a Laboratory Information System (LIS) according to bar code Information; or the user directly and manually inputs the identification information of the prior detection sample, the test item information, the sample rack number and other information into a sample test application interface of the sample detection device.

And S120, scheduling the priority detection sample in a mode of highest priority according to the sample priority detection instruction.

Specifically, the scheduling the priority detection sample in the highest priority mode includes: dispatching the priority detection sample to a sample sucking position through the emergency treatment track. The process mainly comprises the following conditions:

first, it is determined whether there are other emergency sample racks on the emergency track in addition to the priority test sample. If not, the priority detection sample is directly dispatched to the emergency treatment track to reach the sample sucking position. If there are other emergency sample racks on the emergency track, a further determination is needed as to whether the samples in the emergency sample racks on the emergency track are being aspirated. If a sample is being sucked, after the sample is sucked, dispatching the emergency treatment sample rack to a cache area or a recovery area, and then dispatching the priority detection sample to a sample sucking position; otherwise, the emergency sample rack is dispatched to a buffer area or a recovery area, and then the priority detection sample is dispatched to a sample sucking position.

S130, when the priority detection sample is dispatched to a sample sucking position, sucking the priority detection sample, and detecting the priority detection sample according to the test item information of the priority detection sample.

When the priority detection sample is dispatched to the sample sucking position, the sample sucking can be carried out on the priority detection sample, and the corresponding detection can be carried out on the priority detection sample according to the test item information of the priority detection sample.

For example, the sample aspirating position of the sample testing device can be referred to the position shown in FIG. 1 a. Fig. 1a is a schematic layout diagram of a sample processing system of the sample detection device in this embodiment, where 101 is an emergency track, 102 is a conventional track, 103 is a return track, 104 is an emergency sample channel, 105 is a sample input area, 106 is a conventional sample channel, 107 is a sample recovery area, 108 is a sample return channel, and thesample rack 109 is located at a position corresponding to the sample sucking positions on 101 and 102.

Further, 101, 102 and 103 belong to the front track of the sample testing device, after the regular sample is put in 105, the regular sample enters 102 through 106 and arrives at theaspiration position 109, and after the emergency sample is put in 104, the emergency sample can be dispatched to 101 and arrive at theaspiration position 109. When all the samples on one sample rack are completely sucked, the sample rack can be transferred to thesample return channel 108 by thereturn track 103, and finally reaches thesample recovery area 107. The priority test sample can be placed in theemergency sample channel 104 and then transferred from theemergency sample channel 104 to theemergency track 101. if there is any sample rack on theemergency track 101 with no sample taken, the sample rack needs to be dispatched to the buffer (located at thebottom position 105, not shown in fig. 1 a), and the priority test sample can be inserted into the most front position in theemergency track 101 so as to be detected by the priority sample taking. When other emergency samples are sucked in thesample sucking area 101, after the sample sucking is finished, the sample rack where the sample is located is dispatched to the buffer area, and then the sample rack where the sample to be preferentially detected is located is dispatched to the sample sucking position to perform the sample sucking test. Alternatively, if no emergency sample is being aspirated, but there are other non-emergency samples being aspirated at the aspiration location, the priority test sample is dispatched to the aspiration location for aspiration while waiting for the aspiration of the sample being aspirated to complete aspiration.

According to the technical scheme, after the sample priority detection instruction and the information of the priority detection sample are acquired, the priority detection sample is scheduled in a mode with the highest priority, the priority detection sample is preferentially subjected to sample suction detection, the problems that emergency samples to be detected cannot be inserted at any time due to the fact that no priority exists among the emergency samples to be detected in the prior art are solved, the samples to be detected with higher priorities can be inserted into the emergency samples, the samples are scheduled more flexibly, and diversified requirements of users can be met.

Example two

Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a sample detection method according to a second embodiment of the present invention, which is further optimized based on the first embodiment, and the approaches for obtaining a sample priority detection instruction and information of a priority detection sample are expanded.

As shown in fig. 2, the method includes:

s210, when the bar code information of the sample to be detected is scanned, a sample priority detection instruction is obtained when a priority detection bar code is identified.

The preferential detection bar code is different from the bar code of a conventional sample and the bar code of an emergency treatment sample, has a special mark, is special for the sample to be detected with the highest priority, and can be directly printed and pasted on the preferential detection sample tube. When the priority detection sample is put into the emergency treatment sample introduction channel, a user can hold the scanner by hand to scan the priority detection bar code or the bar code scanning device of the sample detection device to automatically scan, so that the sample detection device obtains a sample priority detection instruction.

And S220, scanning the preferential detection bar code to obtain the information of the preferential detection sample.

Specifically, the information of the preferential test sample is identification information of the preferential test sample, and the corresponding patient can be queried in the LIS system according to the identification information of the sample. Step S220 may be implemented simultaneously with step S210, and after the barcode is preferentially detected by one-time scanning, the preferential detection instruction and the identification information of the sample to be preferentially detected may be identified simultaneously.

And S230, prompting a user to input the test item of the priority detection sample, and acquiring the test item information of the priority detection sample.

Because the preferential detection sample is a more urgent sample, if the test item of the sample is not recorded in the LIS system, after the preferential detection bar code is scanned, the user needs to be prompted to select the test item of the sample. The prompting mode can be realized by performing popup prompting or voice prompting and the like on a user interaction interface.

Further, when the user inputs or selects a corresponding test item according to the prompt, the sample detection device may acquire the test item information of the sample to be detected preferentially. Then entering a dispatching and detecting stage of priority detection samples.

S240, scheduling the priority detection sample in a mode of highest priority according to the sample priority detection instruction.

And S250, when the priority detection sample is dispatched to a sample sucking position, sucking the priority detection sample, and detecting the priority detection sample according to the test item information of the priority detection sample.

Specifically, the steps S240 and S250 refer to the contents described in the first embodiment.

In another embodiment, obtaining the sample priority detection instruction and the information of the priority detection sample may be further implemented by:

Alternatively, a position for placing a preferential test sample may be provided exclusively on the sample testing device and used only when an urgent test sample occurs. The sample can be directly sucked without scheduling the sample at the position. The specific position for placing the preferential detection sample can be reasonably arranged according to the structure of the sample detection device, the position is convenient for a user to place the sample tube of the preferential detection sample, and is convenient for sample suction, and the realization of other functions of the analyzer is not influenced.

Then, when the sample tube is detected at the preferential detection sample placement position of the sample detection device, a sample preferential detection instruction is acquired. The user is then prompted to enter information to preferentially test the sample. The prompting mode can be realized by performing popup prompting or voice prompting and the like on a user interaction interface. Further, after the user inputs the information of the preferential detection sample according to the prompt, the analyzer can acquire the information of the preferential detection sample. Then entering a sample sucking detection stage of preferential detection.
