Abstract: There are provided an intradermal needle, a packaged article, and an injection device. The intradermal needle includes: a tubular needle that has a needle tip capable of puncturing a living body; a needle hub that holds the tubular needle; a flange part that extends in a flange shape from the needle hub; and a ring projection that extends toward a leading end of the flange part and is formed in a cylindrical shape to surround the tubular needle. The flange part has a cut portion formed by partially cutting to achieve downsizing of the flange part.

Abstract: In an intradermal needle including a tubular needle that can be punctured into a living body, a packaging article, and an injection device, a pivotable protector is provided to a wide diameter part. The protector has an arm that can pivot around an axle of pivoting, and a lid. The pivoting axle part is provided to the wide diameter part, and the lid is formed to give a width smaller than a diameter of the wide diameter part. The arm keeps the lid in the open position away from the pivoting axle part and closer to an axis of the needle hub.

When the needle protection member in the initial state is displaced from the protection position to a use position and returns to a protection position, the restriction portion is displaced from the initial position to the lock position by the rotation of the rotor body with respect to the needle protection member. A needle hub has a displacement prevention portion that prevents the needle protection member from being displaced from the protection position to the use position again by contacting the restriction portion at the lock position.

Abstract: Medical Data Processing System 101 reduces a workload for specifying a suitable reference range that is used for assessing a validity of a result of medical examination. Examination Result Extracting Unit 313 extracts from Examination Result Database 103 datasets indicating examination results that meet a first extraction condition. Examination Result Extracting Unit 313 generates Work Database 104 for temporarily storing the extracted datasets, and causes External Storage Device 205 to store Work Database 104. Reading Unit 314 extracts from Work Database 104 datasets indicating examination results that meet a second extraction condition. Distribution Chart Generating Unit 316 specifies, as a reference range, a range within which examination results indicated by datasets that are not rejected from the datasets extracted from Work Database 104 in accordance with a rejection rate are distributed.
