Abstract: An automatic analyzer includes a storage unit for storing operation information information about usage histories of expendable supplies provided for the analysis, and an analysis-ID control unit giving an ID to the analysis, the analysis ID being used as information for identifying the analysis to derive a calibration curve. Data stored in the storage unit is organized along the same time axis both in the order of samples subjected to the analysis and inspection, and in the order of analysis items, so that the data is output in a total data display area. The data is organized from the viewpoint of an analysis process of an analysis item of each sample. By use of information used to identify an influence range based on a kind of an abnormal state, which is stored beforehand, a judgment is made as to whether or not it is necessary to perform reinspection.

Abstract: A maintenance monitor mechanism 300 comprises of a maintenance control section 310 that controls and carries out remote maintenance of an apparatus-to-be-maintained, a maintenance history storage unit 320 that records maintenance history, and a display unit 350. The maintenance control section 310 acquires the date and time of the maintenance last carried out from the maintenance history storage unit 320 and displays “Maintenance Not Problematic” if the difference between the last maintenance date and time and the present date and time does not exceed a required maintenance interval or displays “Maintenance Problematic” if the difference exceeds the interval. With said arrangement, it is possible to provide a remote maintenance system that informs the personnel in charge as to whether maintenance has been carried out surely and correctly and to definitely judge whether the apparatus is really in a usable condition.

Abstract: An automated analyzer device has a main conveyance line capable of conveying a sample rack holding a sample, a plurality of analysis units arranged along the main conveyance line, a rack supplying device for supplying the sample rack to the main conveyance line and a rack housing device for housing the sample rack conveyed by the main conveyance line. The automated analyzer includes a controller for confirming that there is no sample rack on the main conveyance line before the main conveyance line receives the sample rack from the rack supplying device. The controller controls operation of the main conveyance line so as to convey the sample rack received from the rack supplying device by the main conveyance line to a position corresponding to a specific one of the plurality of analysis units by which the sample rack is to be received without stopping.

Abstract: An apparatus for supporting a user in determining insurance to compensate for damage to an object of the insurance. A compensation-request-acquiring unit acquires compensation request information that has a correlation with an expectation of the user for compensation for damage caused on the insured object. A premium-distribution unit distributes premium for the insured object using the compensation request information acquired by the compensation-request-acquiring unit.

Abstract: An apparatus that supports determination by a user of optimal insurance to avoid unnecessary insurance coverage and excessive insurance premium for an insured object. Expected insurance compensation, which is money expected to be paid for the insured object from other insurance when an insured incident occurs, is calculated by referring to other insurance relative to the insured object. A setting unit sets a premium for insurance sought for the insured object using the calculated expected-insurance-money value. A user is provided with insurance premium that is determined based upon quantitative consideration of other insurance coverage.

Abstract: A system setup for a sample analysis system having a plurality of analysis units placed along a main conveyor line prior to its analysis operation. The system setup includes setup of analysis units in combination with different types of reagent supply units, setup of analysis routes as to whether it is a stationary type or an automatic type, and setup of analysis items for each analysis unit as to which analysis item should be assigned to which analysis unit having which reagent supply type. These settings are executed through monitoring of setup screens displayed on a screen display unit, and the contents of such a setting are stored and registered in a memory of the controller.
