Abstract: A pressure signal process unit acquires data under a predetermined condition and a statistic distance between the acquired data and determination-purpose reference data stored in a storage unit is calculated. It is determined whether or not dispensing is abnormal and whether the determination-purpose reference data is suitable for an abnormality detection function to be properly fulfilled. If the determination-purpose reference data is not suitable for an abnormality detection function to be properly fulfilled, temporary determination-purpose reference data is prepared so as to be compared with the previously acquired data under a predetermined condition. If a difference therebetween is greater than a predetermined threshold value, a possibility that an automatic analyzer may have an abnormal component or that a failure may occur in the automatic analyzer is determined, and the result is transmitted to cause a display device to display an alarm.

Abstract: An automatic analyzer that accurately detects dispensation abnormality in dispensation conditions with small suction quantities has a statistical distance calculation unit that calculates characteristic variables regarding a sucking operation in the first dispensation and calculates a statistical distance D from reference data to the characteristic variables extracted from a memory. A comparison unit compares the statistical distance D with a preset threshold value stored in memory and if the statistical distance D is less than the preset threshold value, the first discharging operation is performed. A controller judges whether a single-handed judgment based on a dispensation quantity condition of the second or subsequent dispensation is possible or not. If the single-handed judgment is impossible, reference data is selected based on a judgment quantity regarding the first dispensation.

The determination result indicates whether or not dispensing of the sample dispensing mechanism is performed normally in accordance with the magnitude of the output result of the determination function.
