An immunoassay system that can suggest assays based on input data

摘要

A method and apparatus for performing diagnostic assays using referrals based on one or more user input information are described herein. In one embodiment, a system for diagnosing and testing a patient for one or more diseases comprises an assay device configured to perform a plurality of different assays on a patient sample using a plurality of stored capture reagents; A user interface operatively communicating with the assessment device, the user interface comprising: a user interface configured to enable entry of patient symptoms; And a control device in operative communication with the user interface, the control device comprising: (i) analyzing the disease profile database based on the symptoms entered into the user interface; and (ii) And (iii) a controller configured to cause the assay device to perform at least one assay using at least one of a plurality of capture reagents.
