Background technique

Currently in the medical industry, medical testing plays an irreplaceable role in clinical medicine. Blood collection tubes are the most commonly used medical products. Among them, test tubes issued to patients are affixed with barcodes printed with patient information. By scanning the barcodes, the computer can read the patient's identity information. The identity information may include name, gender, date of collection, and the like.

Further, medical staff need to analyze various data and indicators according to the collected blood or urine. In order to facilitate the analysis of the work, before the analysis of blood data and indicators, the test tubes with blood should be classified according to the patient's identity and the analysis of the data and indicators, so that the test tubes can be sent to the corresponding Centralized processing during work. Due to the different test items of patients, it is necessary to classify and collect different types of blood collection tubes, so that blood collection tubes of different test subjects can be sorted more quickly and effectively.
