Patent Images
1. A networked system of clinical NMR analyzers, comprising:
- a plurality of clinical NMR analyzers located at different local use sites, wherein the clinical NMR analyzers are configured to obtain NMR derived concentration measurements of lipoproteins in a blood plasma and/or serum sample; and
at least one remote control system in communication with the plurality of clinical NMR analyzers configured to monitor selected local operating parameters associated with each clinical NMR analyzer and wherein said remote control system is configure to automatically execute a start-up self-diagnostic and tuning/calibration routine and relay abnormal data regarding each clinical NMR analyzers to the remote control systemwherein the clinical NMR analyzers and/or remote system are configured to automatically monitor process variables and statistically analyze data corresponding to measurements of the monitored process variables to thereby perform an automated quality control analysis.
