A computer controlled Auto-Analyzer system, using a mini-computer (FRCOM-R 4KW), has been developed.
This system can monitor simultaneously up to 16 single or simultaneous Auto-Analyzers, up to 32 items each. (6 channels and 16 items are now being used.)
This system has two capabilities :
1. On-line monitoring of a group of operating Auto-Analyzers and calculate the results.
2. Report results in printed digitalized form.
The characteristics of this system are :
1. This 'mini'-computer can automatically process 32 items of clinical laboratory procedures.
2. This system is operated using 'control-boxes' arranged at each Auto-Analyzer.Thus, once the computer is started, the technician unfamiliar with the computer can operate all of the system by pushing down the start or stop buttons or by setting the test item dials of these boxes.
The specimen of this system are identified by the ordinal number of the position in the tray, but a different specimen identification system of our own is now being developed. An automated blood test system is being developed.
