Abstract

A method for setting up a system of a reagent chip analyzer is provided. The method is adapted to modify parameters and testing conditions according to data of an authorization tag, so as to improve the adaptability range of the reagent chip analyzer for reagent chips of multiple specifications. The method includes: reading an identification code, an authorization times, and specifications and analysis parameters of the reagent chip from the RFID tag; determining whether to load the specifications and the analysis parameters of the reagent chip according to the identification code and the authorization times; and if it is determined to load the specifications and the analysis parameters of the reagent chip then decreasing the authorization times by degrees, and analyzing the reagent chip according to the specifications and the analysis parameters of the reagent chip.

Claims

1. A method for setting up a system of a reagent chip analyzer, the reagent chip analyzer is adapted for analyzing a color development reagent chip, the method comprising the steps of:

reading a data of an authorization tag, the data comprising an identification code, an authorization times and a specification and an analysis parameter of the reagent chip;

determining whether to load the specification and the analysis parameter of the reagent chip, according to the identification code and the authorization times; and

if it is determined to load the specification and the analysis parameter of the reagent chip, then decreasing the authorization times in degrees, and analyzing the reagent chip according to the specification and the analysis parameter of the reagent chip.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the authorization tag is a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the analysis parameter of the reagent chip comprises a quantity of regions to be tested, testing items, a size of the reagent chip, sizes of the regions to be tested, a calibration curve for the testing items, and a positive/negative determination threshold.

4. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

after decreasing the authorization times in degrees, feeding back the decreased authorization times back to the RFID tag and records therein.

5. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

if the specification and the analysis parameters are not loaded, indicating a mistake information on a screen.

6. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

loading the specification and the analysis parameters of the reagent chip when the identification code is correct and the authorization times is greater than 0.
