Abstract

A data communications system (10) for a plurality of centrifuge instruments (C(n)), each with a local controller (16), includes a central data controller (12) and a communication link (14) that connects the central data controller (12) to each of the instruments controllers (16). The link (14) complies with Electronic Industries Association (EIA) Standard 485. The central data controller (12) transmits a predetermined command and an instrument address signal over the link. Each instrument controller (16) is responsive to the transmission of the command signal and to its respective instrument address signal by transmitting to the central data controller (12) over the communications link the then-current values of at least some of the set of operational parameters for the particular centrifuge instrument (C(n)).

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS[received by the International Bureau on 16 May 1997 (16.05.97); original claim 1 amended; new claims 3-6 added; remaining claim 2 unchanged (2 pages)]
1. (Amended) A data communications system for a plurality of centrifuge instruments, each instrument having a programmable instrument controller therein, each said programmable instrument controller being adapted to control the operation of the centrifuge instrument with which it is associated in accordance with a predetermined set of operational parameters, wherein said data communications system comprises: a central data controller having memory therein, and a communication link connecting said central data controller to each of the programmable instrument controllers for communication therebetween, said central data controller being operative to transmit a predetermined command signal and a predetermined instrument address signal over said communication link, each said programmable instrument controller being responsive to the transmission of said predetermined command signal and to its respective instrument address signal by transmitting to said central data controller over said communications link the then-current values of at least some of the set of operational parameters for the particular centrifuge instrument.
2. The data communications system of claim 1 wherein each centrifuge instrument has a bar code reader associated therewith, and wherein each instrument controller has a memory disposed therein, values read by the bar code reader being stored in the memory of the instrument controller, the instrument controller, in response to a command signal and to its respective instrument address signal, being operative to transmit to the central data controller the values of the bar codes read by the bar code reader and stored within the instrument controller.
3. The data communications system of claim 1 , wherein when the then-current values transmitted by a single programmable instrument controller signify completion of a task by the particular centrifuge instrument it controls, said single programmable instrument controller disables the particular centrifuge instrument until said central data controller issues an unlock command to said single programmable instrument controller.
4. The data communications system of claim 3, wherein said central data controller issues an unlock command to said single programmable instrument controller when data characterizing said task are approved.
5. The data communications system of claim 4, wherein said data characterizing said task are approved by a clinician via an input to an I/O interface to said central data controller.
6. The data communications system of claim 3, wherein said task is a QC protocol.

STATEMENT UNDER ARΗCLE 19
Applicant has amended claim 1 to remove the reference to EIA Standard 485, and to provide proper antecedent basis therein. Furthermore, applicant has added new dependent claim 3 to recite the unique lock-out capability ofthe claimed system, as discussed at page 11, lines 1-7 and page 12, lines 1-15 of the specification. New
claims 4 through 6 further claim the features of this lock-out capability [as described at
page 12, lines 4-11]. Applicants respectfully submit that these claims, as amended, further distinguish over the prior art.
