Abstract: Disclosed is a detection method for detecting occurrence of nonspecific reaction in analysis for an antigen or an antibody contained in a biological sample with use of a measurement reagent containing an antibody or an antigen that causes antigen-antibody reaction with the antigen or the antibody in the biological sample, and the detection method includes: generating a data group about progress of antigen-antibody reaction between the antigen or the antibody contained in the biological sample and the antibody or the antigen contained in the measurement reagent; inputting the data group to a deep learning algorithm; and generating information about occurrence of nonspecific reaction, based on a result outputted by the deep learning algorithm.

Abstract: Disclosed is an analysis method for a blood specimen, including: obtaining a data group including a plurality of data forming a blood coagulation curve or a differential curve thereof; inputting the data group into a deep learning algorithm; and outputting, on the basis of a result obtained from the deep learning algorithm, information regarding a cause of prolongation of blood coagulation time of the blood specimen.

Abstract: Disclosed is a blood sample determination method including: emitting light to a measurement specimen prepared by mixing a clotting time measuring reagent and a blood sample suspected to be derived from a subject having lupus anticoagulant or a coagulation factor inhibitor, to obtain optical information about an amount of light from the measurement specimen; obtaining at least one parameter regarding derivative of clot waveform, based on the obtained optical information; and determining, based on a value of the obtained parameter, whether the blood sample is suspected to be a sample derived from a subject having lupus anticoagulant or is suspected to be a sample derived from a subject having a coagulation factor inhibitor.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for determining the severity of hemophilia, the method including the steps of: coagulating a blood specimen to acquire a coagulation waveform; acquiring an average change rate of a coagulation rate from the coagulation waveform; and determining the severity of hemophilia in the blood specimen based on the average change rate of the coagulation rate.
