Abstract:
1. An automatic analyzer comprising an analyzer processing unit that stores calibration information including reagent-based calibration results, an execution date/time of the calibration, and information of an analyzer used for the calibration, wherein the automatic analyzer comprises a reagent management unit that reads out information including calibration information from a reagent vessel ID tag affixed to a reagent vessel containing a reagent of a plurality of reagents, the reagent vessel being housed in a reagent accommodation unit, and the reagent management unit writes the information onto the reagent vessel ID tag; and wherein the analyzer processing unit uses the reagent management unit to write the calibration information onto the reagent vessel ID tag, wherein the analyzer processing unit determines whether the information of an analyzer in the calibration information which has been read out from the reagent vessel ID tag differs from that of the automatic analyzer having the analyzer processing unit, determines whether the execution date/time which has been read out from the reagent vessel ID tag has passed a predetermined period, determines whether a calibration curve which has been read out from the reagent vessel ID tag is abnormal, and wherein the analyzer processing unit analyzes samples by using the calibration curve without recalibration when the information of the analyzer is determined to be the same as that of the automatic analyzer having the analyzer processing unit, the execution date/time is determined not to have passed the predetermined period, and the calibration curve is determined to be normal.
