Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the progress of technology, the products of point-of-care testing (POCT) are gradually developing towards miniaturization and portability. Due to their portability, rapidity, simplicity of operation and other characteristics, the usage scenarios have shifted from hospitals to testing institutions or households. The test strip data transmitter can transmit information of various test strips such as blood glucose, uric acid, cholesterol, lactic acid, etc. The test strip data transmitter can transmit the test result information of the test strip to the user terminal, and the user can view and record the test information through a mobile device.

[0003] In related technical means, the usage method of the device is as follows: First, the user name is recorded through the touch screen, and then the test strip of the user is placed into the data transmitter. The data transmitter identifies the information of the test strip and feeds the data back to the user terminal. Therefore, each user and their test strip are read and stored in a one-to-one form. When multiple users need to transmit data information, the one-to-one form results in low efficiency and cumbersome operation. Summary of the Invention

The end of the inclined surface away from the carrier plate is closer to the back surface of the housing. An operation panel is provided on the inclined surface, and the input end of the operation panel is connected to the output ends of the imaging component and the microprocessor.

The imaging component 2 is installed on the partition plate 11 and is located in the equipment chamber 12. The data recognition component 3 and the microprocessor 4 are installed on the partition plate 11 and are located in the equipment chamber 12. In this embodiment, the partition plate 11 is located at the midpoint of the housing 1 side wall in the vertical direction.

[0046] Reference Figure 1 , in order to block the area directly above the test strip during the test strip monitoring, reduce the influence of vertically direct light on the reading and recording of the test strip results, and improve the accuracy of data reading. One end of the partition plate 11 away from the rear shell of the housing 1 is longer in the length direction than the same side of the upper end face of the housing 1. The partition plate 11 and the end of the upper end face of the housing 1 away from the back of the housing 1 form an inclined surface 15. The end of the inclined surface 15 away from the carrier plate 131 is closer to the back of the housing 1. An operation panel 151 is provided on the inclined surface 15. The input end of the operation panel 151 is connected to the output ends of the imaging component 2 and the microprocessor 4.

The tray 131 is provided with a plurality of detection stations 132 for placing test strips and a reading station 133 for reading personal information. The detection stations 132 and the reading station 133 are arranged regularly. The plurality of test strip slots 1321 are arranged in multiple columns, and each row of the test strip slots 1321 is arranged side by side and evenly spaced.
