Apparatus and method for measuring blood components

摘要

A blood component measuring apparatus includes a fixing device for fixing an examinee's body part, a light source portion for irradiating light to a tissue to be examined of the examinee's body part in a state where the light source portion is covered by the tissue to be examined, a photo-detector for detecting light passing through the tissue to be examined, the photo-detector being disposed facing the light source portion, and an analyzer for analyzing the light detected by the photo-detector. The fixing device includes a first fixing member for fixing a portion, which is connected to the tissue to be examined, of the examinee's body part and a second fixing member for fixing the other portion, which is connected to the tissue to be examined, of the examinee's body part. The first and second fixing members are designed to move based on a region where the tissue to be examined is to be located.
