1. An automatic analyzer comprising:
a reagent container setting unit on which a plurality of reagent containers are set;
a reagent dispensing mechanism that aspirates a reagent from each of the reagent containers set on the reagent container setting unit;
a computer coupled to a wireless device; and
a portable tablet terminal wirelessly coupled to the computer,
wherein the computer is programmed to:
manage information related to the respective reagents of each of the reagent containers set on the reagent container setting unit, and
store reagent information related to a reagent remaining amount and a reagent expiration date of each of the reagent containers set on the reagent container setting unit,
wherein the portable tablet terminal includes a touch panel display unit,
wherein the portable tablet terminal is programmed to display a reagent list in which reminder information, which indicates a reminder to an operator, is assigned to each of a plurality of setting positions of particularly selected reagent containers among all of the reagent containers set on the reagent container setting unit based on the reagent information stored in the computer, the reagent list displaying information indicating the setting positions of each of the particularly selected reagent containers set on the reagent container setting unit,
wherein the computer is programmed to update the display of the reagent list such that one or more of the particularly selected reagent containers among all of the reagent containers selected by the operator is visually identifiable while the reagent list is displayed,
wherein the portable tablet terminal is programmed to upon receiving the selection of the one or more of the particularly selected reagent containers via the touch panel display unit of the reagent list displayed on the display unit, determine the one or more of the particularly selected reagent containers selected by the operator and update the display of the reagent list to add or remove a mark indicating and corresponding to the one or more of the particularly selected reagent containers,
wherein the reagent list includes a plurality of individual mark buttons respectively corresponding to each of the particularly selected reagent containers and are displayed separate from the information indicating the setting positions of the particularly selected reagent containers and are areas of the displayed reagent list that are designated for displaying an indication of whether a respective mark is displayed or not displayed for each of the particularly selected reagent containers, each mark indicating the corresponding mark button has been tapped via the touch panel display unit of the portable tablet terminal,
wherein the computer is programmed to switch display of each respective mark button between displaying the mark and not displaying the mark within the respective mark button of the displayed reagent list,
wherein the computer is programmed to:
control the reagent dispensing mechanism and cause the reagent dispensing mechanism to automatically perform a remaining amount check operation on each of the particularly selected reagent containers among all of the reagent containers set on the reagent container setting unit,
determine whether reagent remaining amounts of the reagents in the particularly selected reagent containers are less than or equal to a first predetermined threshold and determine whether reagent remaining amounts of the reagents in the particularly selected reagent containers are equal to or less than a second predetermined threshold,
upon determining a respective amount of a reagent among the particularly selected reagent containers is less than or equal to the first predetermined threshold, display, in the reagent list, a first notification corresponding to the particularly selected reagent container in the reagent list that corresponds to the respective reagent,
upon determining a respective amount of a reagent among the particularly selected reagent containers is less than or equal to the second predetermined threshold, display, in the reagent list, a second notification corresponding to the particularly selected reagent container in the reagent list that corresponds to the respective reagent,
upon determining a respective amount of a reagent among the particularly selected reagent containers is zero, display, in the reagent list, a third notification corresponding to the particularly selected reagent container in the reagent list that corresponds to the respective reagent, and
determine whether the mark in the mark button corresponding to each of the particularly selected reagent containers in the display list has been marked, and for each of the particularly selected reagent containers with the corresponding mark, change the respective mark buttons to a different color and change the respective marks to a different color for each of the particularly selected reagent containers with respective reagent remaining amounts less than or equal to the first predetermined threshold.
