Device for measuring blood component

Abstract

A spotted portion of a test piece is easily and surely brought into contact with a blood drop obtained by puncturing to thereby prevent measurement errors. A blood glucose meter (a device for measuring blood component) (10a) comprising a front attachment part (30) to which a test piece (12) is attached, a measurement part (32) for measuring a component of blood that is collected via a blood guide passage (24) in the test piece (12) attached to the front attachment part (30), and a monitor (34) for displaying the measurement results obtained by the measurement part (32). When the device is placed on a horizontal plane by referring to the display face of the monitor (34) as the upper side and the opposite side thereof as the lower side and placing the display face of the monitor (34) upward, the central axis line (C) of the test piece (12) extends obliquely downward toward the front side. The blood glucose meter (10a) comprises a main part (44) provided with the monitor (34) and a linking part (46) located between the main part (44) and the front attachment part (30). The top face (46a) of the linking part (46) is placed roughly parallel to the central axis line (C) and provided with an ejector lever (36).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a blood component measuring device for measuring components such as glucose from blood collected through a blood introduction channel in the test part, in which a test part is mounted on a front end attachment part. Background technique [0002] For diabetic patients, daily management based on measuring changes in blood sugar levels is recommended. Regarding the measurement of the blood sugar level, a blood glucose meter is put into practical use, that is, a measuring part such as a test paper impregnated with a test drug that develops a color according to the amount of glucose in the blood is provided, and blood is supplied to the test paper to develop a color. By measuring the degree of color development by optical means, the blood sugar level is obtained and displayed (for example, refer to Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3135393 ( figure 2 , Figure 8 ), Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-46834...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0016] First, since the bar code reader code is located at the front, there is concern that the laser light generated during scanning will point in the direction of the patient and cause discomfort to the patient.

[0017] Second, since the barcode reader is arranged very close to the front-end measurement part, there is a possibility that the test part installed on the front-end measurement part will touch some other objects (including biological objects) when the barcode is read. ) possibility

If the blood glucose level is measured before, there is a fear that the contact part of the test part will be soiled or damaged, and accurate measurement cannot be performed.

If the blood glucose level is measured, the blood adheres to the contact part, which may stain other objects close to it.

[0018] Third, since the monitor is arranged near the front end measurement part, the front end part becomes large and the sense of balance is not good, and since the grip part is located behind the monitor, it is far away from the front end measurement part. As a result, the front-end measurement part tends to be unstable
