Problems solved by technology

This creates the problem that a sample taken from a patient on a Monday of a particular week is not discarded during a manual check of sample life performed on a Friday of the same week, but expires by the Monday of the following week
[0014] Prior art systems do not take into account the impact of the storage life of biological samples on the question of whether analysis can still be applied to the sample
In particular, they do not address the issue that the maximum acceptable storage life for performing an analysis on a sample depends not only on the storage time, but also on the type of analysis to be performed on the sample

Embodiment Construction

[0099] figure 1 An embodiment of the analysis system of the present invention is shown. The analysis system includes an analyzer 106 operable to perform several different analyzes on the biological sample. The analyzer 106 is controlled by a controller 105 operable to send commands to the analyzer (shown with arrows in the figure) to trigger initiation of analysis. The system further comprises a preprocessing unit 104, in which samples are prepared for storage and analysis. According to the illustrated embodiment, the samples are stored to the storage unit 107 in a capped state. The storage unit includes one or more sensors 125, such as thermometers, for monitoring the storage parameters, and for storing the measured storage parameters 123 in a data storage 119 in association with a time stamp indicating the moment of measurement, while the data storage 119 is a relational database in this embodiment. The system also includes a decision unit 109 operable to: read data from...

Abstract

The invention refers to an analysis system and computer implemented method for analyzing biological samples. the invention relates to an analysis system for analyzing biological samples comprising: at least one analyzer for performing an analysis and a decision unit being operable to determine in response to the receipt of the analysis request (112) whether results obtained from performing the analysis on the sample indicated in the analysis request (112) are valid, wherein this determination is executed by retrieving the meta information (126) assigned to the sample and by applying the at least one condition on the meta information (126) and wherein the at least one applied condition comprises at least a condition on whether the sample allows a valid analysis on the sample, and wherein the decision unit (109) returns the decision that the analysis exercised on the indicated sample will return a valid result in case the conditions of the condition set are met by the sample.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an analysis system and computer-implemented method for analyzing biological samples, such as body fluids. Background technique [0002] The management of biological samples is a highly complex task due to the multiple operational steps and the multiple procedural and safety aspects that need to be considered before each work step is performed. Currently, many of those work steps are performed manually, leading to protracted sample processing workflows and a greater risk of erroneous analytical results. In this context the risk of accidental contact of laboratory personnel with potentially infectious contents of biological samples should also be mentioned. [0003] Biological samples, such as tissue, blood, saliva or urine samples, are routinely taken from patients by medical personnel within a hospital or physician's office. These biological samples are used in various analyses. Assays are used, for example, to deter...
