PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a blood collecting tube preparation device that can continue to be operated appropriately and can be restored easily even if a part of label printing attaching devices runs short of paper.SOLUTION: Paper remaining amount detection sensors 71a, 71b for detecting remaining amounts of label paper are disposed in a label printing attaching device 6. When the paper remaining amount detection sensors 71a, 71b detect that the remaining amounts of the label paper reaches predetermined numbers in accordance with the number of blood collecting tubes Y that are determined to be transferred to the label printing attaching device 6 and to which labels have not been attached yet by the label printing attaching device 6, a remaining selection frequency for selecting the label printing attaching device 6 as a transfer destination of the blood collecting tubes Y is set. When the label printing attaching device 6 is selected as the transfer destination of the blood collecting tubes Y only at the remaining selection frequency, the label printing attaching device 6 is excluded from options of the transfer destination of the blood collecting tubes Y.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】一部のラベル印字貼付装置が用紙切れとなった場合でも、適切に作動し続けることができ、また、復旧作業も容易な採血管準備装置を提供する。【解決手段】ラベル印字貼付装置6にラベル用紙の残量を検知する用紙残量検知センサ71a,71bを配設し、用紙残量検知センサ71a,71bによってラベル用紙の残量が所定枚数となったことを検知すると、当該ラベル印字貼付装置6を移送先として決定した採血管Yであって、当該ラベル印字貼付装置6でラベルを貼付する前の採血管Yの本数に応じて、当該ラベル印字貼付装置6を採血管Yの移送先として選択する残り選択回数を設定し、該残り選択回数だけ当該ラベル印字貼付装置6を採血管Yの移送先に選択すると、当該ラベル印字貼付装置6を採血管Yの移送先の選択肢から除外するようにする。【選択図】図7
