1. A sample analyzing apparatus comprising:
- a detector that measures blood cells in a sample obtained from a subject so as to count the blood cells to produce a measurement result comprising a count result of the blood cells for the sample;
an input unit that receives a manual input of one or more externally obtained diagnosis results of a presence or absence of a disease for the sample;
a memory in which the count result of the blood cells for the sample, and the manual input of one or more externally obtained diagnosis results for the sample, are both stored in association with the sample;
a communication transmitter that transmits disease information based on the presence or absence of the disease stored in the memory in association with the sample, over a communication link to a receiving apparatus installed in an external facility; and
a processor coupled to the detector, the memory, and the communication transmitter, the processor executing a computer program stored in the memory, the processor configured by the computer program to perform operations to;
control and to receive signals from the detector and to process the received signals; and
compare the manually inputted one or more externally obtained diagnosis results of the presence or absence of the disease with the count result obtained by the detector.

Abstract
A sample analyzing apparatus comprising a measurement unit configured to measure samples obtained from subjects, an obtaining unit configured to obtain the presence or absence of a disease regarding each sample, a memory in which a measurement result obtained by the measurement unit and the presence or absence of the disease obtained by the obtaining unit are stored in association with the sample, and a communication unit configured to transmit disease information based on the presence or absence of the disease stored in the memory to a receiving apparatus installed in an external facility.

21. A method for managing data of a sample analyzing apparatus comprising a processor executing a computer program, a communication transmitter, a detector that measures a sample, an input unit, and a memory, the method comprising:
-
measuring, by the detector, blood cells in the sample so as to count the blood cells to produce a measurement result comprising a count result of the blood cells for the sample; obtaining, by the processor from the input unit, a manual input of one or more externally obtained diagnosis results of a presence or absence of a disease for the sample; storing, in the memory, both the count result of measuring the blood cells, and the one or more manual inputs of the one or more respective externally obtained diagnosis results in association with the sample; compare the manually inputted one or more externally obtained diagnosis results of the presence or absence of the disease with the count result obtained by the detector; and transmitting, by the communication transmitter, disease information based on the presence or absence of the disease to a receiving apparatus installed in an external facility.
