Abstract: A middleware device or software may be placed in communication with one or more testing instruments and a lab information system. As samples are collected from patients and tested with the testing instruments, test results pass through the middleware and are analyzed in context with other data, such as patient history, testing instrument history, and test results from other tests of the sample, in order to determine whether a particular result is acceptable, whether retesting is needed, whether additional sample collection or testing is needed, and whether currently ordered testing is still necessary. When the middleware determines a need for additional testing or retesting it may automatically create orders for such testing in order to reduce delays in manual review of testing results.

Abstract: A reagent preparing apparatus capable of being connected to a sample measuring section for measuring a sample using a diluted reagent prepared by the reagent preparing apparatus, comprising: a reagent preparing section for preparing a diluted reagent containing a predetermined reagent and pure water; a pH measuring section for measuring hydrogen ion concentration of the diluted reagent prepared by the reagent preparing section; and a controller for performing predetermined processing, wherein the controller is configured to change the process to be performed based on the hydrogen ion concentration measured by the pH measuring section, is disclosed. A sample analyzer is also disclosed.

Abstract: A sensor for measuring at least one body parameter, particularly blood and/or tissue parameters, is used for carrying out the measurements of electromagnetic radiation in the transmission or reflection methods, wherein the sensor uses at least one LED as a source of electromagnetic radiation. At least one photodetector is used as the receiving element. At least one LED is used in a non-invasive measurement of the parameters for ensuring a sufficiently high residual intensity of the radiation received by the photodetector and transmitted or reflected by the blood and/or tissue, wherein the LED has a light intensity of at least 200 millicandela and/or a light yield of at least 2 lumen/watt.

Abstract: A display is connected to at least one sensor for detecting and transmitting physiological measurement values. In addition, one or more displays are used to present the measurement values and/or other associated data visually, acoustically, mechanically, or in some other way perceptible to the senses. A sequence control approach is implemented, according to which the measurement value, before reaching the display, passes through a testing stage, which, on the basis of at least one measured or stored additional value, verifies, checks, or changes the physiological measurement value detected at the sensor or supplements it with additional information. In a process for the noninvasive determination of the oxygen content CaO2 of human and/or animal tissue, the blood oxygen saturation and data on the blood hemoglobin concentration are obtained after the measurements have been acquired by the use of radiation with wavelengths in the range of 400-1,800 nanometers.
