Description

A vacuum collection vessel processing apparatus

The present invention relates to a vacuum collection tube processing apparatus, and more particularly, to automatically scan a barcode attached to a vacuum collection tube in which a blood sample (blood) is embedded, register it in the sample computer system, and collect the sample information in the computer system By receiving and automatically removing the stopper of the vacuum collection tube and outputting the barcode label to be attached to the subject, the operation of opening the stopper and scanning the barcode during the pre-processing process for the blood test of the vacuum collection tube is performed at once. It relates to a vacuum collection vessel processing device capable of processing.

In general, when a blood test is performed in a hospital or the like, various types of vacuum blood collection tubes are used depending on the blood test item, and a plurality of tests are simultaneously performed for one patient.

There are several types of such vacuum collection tubes depending on the purpose and size. A barcode label containing various information about the patient or subject is attached to the outer surface of each vacuum collection tube. information about it is available.

However, the processing method of the vacuum blood collection tube according to the prior art is a printing machine for outputting a barcode label, an attachment device for attaching the output barcode label, and a blood collection tube for removing the lid of the vacuum collection tube for blood test. Lid separators must all be provided individually.

As an example, in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1764689, a blood collection vessel input through an inlet is compared with a blood collection tube list required for the examination based on the examination information and patient information, and the blood collection tube corresponding to the injected blood collection tube is the collection tube. a blood collection judging unit configured to determine whether the list exists in the list and whether the number of blood collection vessels input for each type of collection vessel meets the number of collection vessels for each type of collection vessel according to the blood collection list; and a labeling unit for labeling examination information or patient information corresponding to the injected blood collection tube when the injected blood collection vessel is present in the blood collection tube list.

In addition, in Republic of Korea Utility Model Registration No. 20-0369726, a new barcode label for attaching a barcode label containing important information of a patient or examinee can be attached more simply and neatly, thereby remarkably improving the convenience of use. A vacuum collection tube holder has been published.

However, in the case of the above-mentioned prior art documents, it is only to improve the efficiency of the barcode label attachment, and the processing speed is very low to reduce the workability as it is configured so that processing is performed for one blood collection vessel, respectively. There is a problem.

In addition, since it is still necessary to provide a separate lid separation device to open the lid of the vacuum collection tube for blood testing, after the barcode label is attached, the process proceeds in the same manner as in the conventional processing method to remove the blood contained in the vacuum collection tube. In the process for the inspection, there is a problem that the effect on the processing efficiency is very insignificant.
