- the measurement execution unit 5 controls the measurement of the concentration of glycohemoglobin in blood by high performance liquid chromatography using the column.
- the external communication unit 6 communicates with an external device via a communication network such as the Internet.
- the CPU 3 causes the magnetic card reading unit 22 to read the 2000 measurement assurance information written on the magnetic card 21 and stores the read measurement assurance information in the guaranteed frequency storage unit 31. (Step S1).
- step S4 When the measurement execution unit 5 performs the measurement of glycated hemoglobin (the result of step S2 is Yes), the CPU 3 obtains the measurement information from the measurement execution unit 5 and executes the measurement stored in the measurement count storage unit 32. A value obtained by adding 1 to the number of times (step S 3) and subtracting the number of times of measurement stored in the number of times of measurement storage unit 32 from “2000” stored in the number of times of guarantee storage unit 31. (Balance) is stored in the balance storage unit 33 (Step S4).
- Step S6 When the measuring device repeats the measurement and the balance stored in the balance storage unit 33 becomes "0" (the result of step S5 is Yes), the CPU 3 determines that the measurement has been performed for the number of times the measurement is guaranteed. Then, the message “The number of measurements has been completed. Please purchase a new magnetic card. J appears on the display 4. (Step S6).
- timing for displaying a message prompting the purchase of a new magnetic card is not limited to when the balance becomes “0”, but may be set when the balance reaches a predetermined value. Further, the timing at which the message is displayed may be adjustable for each measuring device in accordance with the usage status of the measuring device.
- the measurement execution unit 5 transmits the abnormality information to the CPU 3.
- the CPU 3 analyzes the abnormality information and examines what caused the abnormality. For example, when the half width of the absorbance pattern of the measurement data is equal to or greater than a certain value, it can be determined that the column has deteriorated.
- the half width of the absorbance pattern means the width of the pattern at half the peak value of the absorbance.
- the display unit 4 displays a message "An error has occurred in the column within the guaranteed number of measurements". When this message is displayed, the medical institution will contact the measurement equipment provider and request a column exchange.
- the measuring device of the present embodiment includes an external communication unit 6 capable of communicating with a server (not shown) of the measuring device provider via a communication medium such as the Internet.

Purchase a new column from, or (2) pay extra for continued use of the replaced column beyond the current balance, and update the balance according to the additional fee paid A configuration that allows the user to select either or is also a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- the CPU 3 operates as shown in FIG.
- the CPU 3 Upon receiving the abnormality information from the measurement execution unit 5, the CPU 3 analyzes the abnormality information and checks what caused the abnormality (step S11). If it is determined that the cause is a reagent or consumable, the CPU 3 outputs replacement request information (step S12). The display unit 4 displays the exchange request information. Then, the message “An error has occurred in the column within the guaranteed number of measurements” is displayed.
- the medical institution requests, for example, a measurement device provider to dispatch maintenance personnel, and the maintenance personnel replaces the column.
- the column is replaced, CPU 3 predicts the number of measurements (lifetime) that can be performed by the column after the replacement (step S13).
- the life expectancy of the column in step S13 can be predicted, for example, by the following method.
- the width of the absorbance pattern changes according to the degree of deterioration of the column.
- the half width of the absorbance of hemoglobin A1c which is a measurement component, gradually increases as the column deteriorates.
- the half-width of the absorbance is the width of the pattern at half the peak value of the absorbance (w in Fig. 5). Therefore, CPU 3 can predict the number of times (measurable number) that can be performed in the future using the exchanged column from the width of the absorbance.
- the CPU 3 determines whether it is necessary to update the guaranteed measurement count information by comparing the measurable count predicted in step S13 with the balance stored in the balance storage unit 33 (step S14). ). For example, if the estimated number of measurable times is "1100" while the balance is "10000", 100 times more measurements are possible when the balance is used up. It is expected that there will be some, but considering the measurement accuracy, etc., it seems that purchasing a new column when the balance is used up is more advantageous for the medical institution who uses the measuring device. On the other hand, for example, if the estimated number of measurable times is "1800" while the balance is "10000", it is possible to measure 1700 times when the balance is used up Is expected.
- step S14 the criteria for determining whether or not the measurement guarantee count information needs to be updated depend on the type and frequency of use of the measurement device, the degree of deterioration of the reagent or consumable to be replaced, and the like. Any embodiment can be adopted in consideration of various factors such as the relationship with the measurement accuracy.
- step S 14 If CPU 3 determines that the guaranteed measurement count information should be updated (result of step S 14 is Yes), the display unit 4 displays the last column after the replacement by paying an additional fee. A message indicating that the device can be used is displayed (step S15).
- the medical institution pays the additional fee, for example, a magnetic card on which information on the number of guarantees for the additional fee paid is recorded is provided from the measuring device provider to the medical institution, The medical institution can use the column after replacement of the measuring device to the end.
- the embodiment of the present invention has been described using an automatic glycohemoglobin measuring device.
- the present invention is not limited to the automatic glycohemoglobin measuring device, and an enzyme using a GOD immobilized enzyme membrane and a hydrogen peroxide electrode It can be applied to any measuring device including a glucose measuring device by an electrode method and an automatic urine analyzer by a test strip method.
- the magnetic card 21 functions as a prepaid card provided by the measuring device provider in exchange for the purchase price. It is not necessary that the payment be made, and the payment may be made at a later date, at least if a purchase contract is made.
