Estimating the term…
The automatic analyzer includes: an analyzing unit that analyzes a sample; and a control device that controls operation of each mechanism of the analyzing unit. The control device calculates waiting time for which a user must wait before replacing the sample or a consumable necessary for analyzing the sample based on time when the sample or the consumable is last used in an analysis schedule that has been created at a point when the control device receives a replacement request for the sample or the consumable. It can be to provide an automatic analyzer capable of improving work efficiency, and a method for operating the automatic analyzer.
