Automatic blood-sampling tube preparation device

An automatic blood-sampling tube preparation device comprising

• at least two blood-sampling tube containing section, each section being intended to contain blood-sampling tubes of a same type,
• a transfer means for selectively taking out a blood-sampling tube required to an examination of a patient according to an instruction information indicated by a doctor from the blood-sampling tube containing section and transferring the taken-out blood-sampling tube to a label pasting position,
• a label printing and pasting means for printing an information of the patient on a label and pasting the printed label on the blood-sampling tube positioned in the label pasting position, and
• a control means for controlling operations of each means
• wherein
• the automatic blood-sampling tube preparation device further comprises a photographing means for photographing an appearance of the blood-sampling tube taken out from the blood-sampling tube containing section, and
• said control means is arranged
• to have a threshold with respect to at least one characteristic information previously extracted from an appearance of a blood-sampling tube,
• to extract the characteristic information from the appearance image photographed by the photographing means,
• to specify the type of the blood-sampling tube taken out from the blood-sampling tube containing section on the basis of the threshold and the extracted characteristic information, and
• to judge whether the blood-sampling tube corresponds to the instruction information from the doctor.
