A calculator selects desired data out of a set of data obtained by analyzing a sample, such as blood or urine, and normalizes the selected data with respect to a predetermined level. The normalized values obtained by the calculator may be displayed as values and/or graphs. The graphical display may show a partition line set according to the experiences of the laboratory, so the graph may be quickly understood.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a display apparatus for displaying clinical test results obtained by a sample analyzer, and more particularly to a clinical test result display apparatus for displaying test results such as information that can be used for diagnosis (for example, information on hematosis or abnormal conditions).
2. Description of the Related Art
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a clinical test apparatus.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the procedure of a data management system of the present invention.
FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b) show respective embodiments for a membership function of the present invention.
In accordance with the present invention, a microcomputer system comprising a CPU, a ROM, a RAM and an I/O port is preferably used as the calculating means. In particular, a computer is used which comprises a fuzzy reasoning or a neural network as a microcomputer system normalizing measured data with respect to a predetermined level.
Examples of the display means include a color CRT (cathode ray tube) display, a color LCD (liquid crystal display) or an EL display having a character generator that can display figure data, character data and graph data. In addition, the display means provides means for converting normalized measured data into display data represented in a box-like graph attached with a threshold.
In addition, the clinical test result display apparatus according to the present invention is either connected to the outside of a blood cell analyzer, a serum analyzer, a urine analyzer, a coagulation analyzer, an immunology analyzer or the like or incorporated in such analyzers.
