Patent ID: 7499823

Claim:
A control system comprising: an analytical system including: a removable DNA chip module having a plurality of thin-film transistor (TFT) elements, a drive circuit for driving each TFT element, a used flag memory, and a terminal unit, the TFT elements being substantially linearly arranged at substantially equal intervals in a plurality of lines and functioning as semiconductor field-effect biosensors for detecting the reaction between a liquid reagent and the blood of an examinee supplied on the TFT elements; an ejection device for ejecting the liquid reagent onto the DNA chip module; an analysis unit adapted to store analytical parameters, to receive examinee-identification information, to instruct the ejection device to eject the reagent to the DNA chip module, to read results of an inspected DNA chip module based on selected analytical parameters, the analysis unit adapted to produce and output data related to the results of the inspected DNA chip module; a communicating network including a communicating unit for transmitting and receiving data via communication lines; a connector for detachably connecting the DNA chip module to the analysis unit; wherein the analysis unit produces and outputs the data of the results of the inspected DNA chip module, the examinee-identification information, and the selected analytical parameters through the communicating network; the analysis unit is adapted to be controlled from a remote location through the communicating network by a control unit such that the analytical parameters may be selected remotely via the communication network; the analytical parameters are information directed to diseases and symptoms; and the terminal unit includes terminals for inputting and outputting various signals of each TFT element, is adapted to input a signal to the drive circuit, and is adapted to write and read signals of the used flag memory; a memorizing unit for the storing the analytical parameters and their inspection data in association with the examinee identification information; and a control processing unit for receiving the examinee identification information from the analytical system along with the analytical parameters and the inspection data by the communicating unit so as to store them in the memorizing unit and to request a diagnosis based on the analysis.
