Analyzer and method of analyzing
First Claim
1. An analyzer which analyzes an analyte by using the analyte and consumables, the analyzer comprising:
- a memory which stored replacement history of the consumables;
device barcode reader which reads a first product information related to a consumable via an identifier given to the consumable or a container containing the consumable;
a controller which permits an analysis operation when the first product information is suitable information read by the barcode reader via the identifier, and prompts an operator to manually enter a second product information comprising information specifying the manufacturer or seller of the consumable when the barcode reader cannot read the identifier or the information read via the identifier is not suitable as the first product information and permits the analysis operation when the operator has entered the second product information; and
a display part,wherein the controller configured to display a consumable replacement history screen so as to discriminate between first consumables which are read by the barcode reader and second consumables which are manually entered by the operator.

19. A method of analyzing an analyte with an analyzer which uses consumables together with the analyte, the method comprising:
-
reading a first product information related to a consumable via an identifier given to the consumable or a container containing the consumable; permitting an analysis operation by the analyzer when the information read via the identifier is suitable as the first product information; outputting information which prompts the operator to manually input a second product information that comprises information specifying the manufacturer or seller of the consumable when the identifier cannot be read or when the information read via the identifier is not suitable as the first product information; and displaying a consumable replacement history screen on a display part so as to discriminate between a first consumable which is read by the barcode reader and a second consumable which is manually entered by the operator.
