Biological component-measuring unit, biological component-measuring unit package, medical support instrument kit, and medical support instrument kit package

Abstract

A biological component-measuring unit, a package of a biological component-measuring unit, a medical support instrument kit, and a package of a medical support instrument kit, for improving workability and enabling the measurement of components of body fluids hygienically. The biological component-measuring unit comprising a substrate detachably mountable on a medical support device proper, fluid channels fixed to said substrate, the medical support device proper including a fluid transfer structure where fluids in the fluid channels flow in one direction, wherein the fluid channels comprise a biological component-measuring channel which is: attachable to and detachable from a body fluid-drawing channel for drawing a fluid that has been sampled through a body fluid sampler; capable of transferring the fluid in the biological component-measuring channel in one direction, in cooperation with the fluid transfer structure; provided with a biological component sensor for measuring a biological component in the fluid being transferred; and capable of discharging the fluid as a waste after measurement of the biological component.
