Abstract:
A rinse mechanism rinses reaction cuvettes with first and second detergents. An R1 reagent pipetting mechanism  8  rinses the reaction cuvettes that have been rinsed by the rinse mechanism with a special detergent. A counting unit counts and stores in a storage unit a use frequency of each reaction cuvette for a specific reagent item. A determining unit determines whether the counted use frequency exceeds a predetermined threshold N1. A control unit controls the R1 reagent pipetting mechanism such that, in a case where the counted use frequency exceeds the predetermined threshold N1, the reaction cuvettes, which have exceeded the predetermined threshold N1, are soaked with the special detergent only for a period equal to or less than a value derived by multiplying a pipetting cycle time, which indicates a period when a sample is pipetted, by the total number of reaction cuvettes and a predetermined integer.

Claim (Index 2):
The automatic analyzer according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the control unit is further programmed to: control the detergent feeding mechanism ( 8 ) such that in a case where the counted use frequency exceeds a predetermined threshold N2, which is larger than the predetermined threshold N1, the reaction cuvettes, which have exceeded the predetermined threshold N2, are soaked without assigning a new measurement to the reaction cuvettes that have exceeded the predetermined threshold N2, even when there is a request for a new measurement, in a case where the counted use frequency exceeds the predetermined threshold N1, and is equal to or smaller than the prescribed threshold value N2, the reaction cuvettes, which have exceeded the predetermined threshold N1, are not soaked during measurement, and the reaction cuvettes that have exceeded the predetermined threshold N1 are soaked when there is not a request for a new measurement after the reaction cuvettes that have exceeded the predetermined threshold N1 are measured.
