Analysis device with user-friendly menu controls

摘要

An analysis device is proposed for detecting an analyte in a liquid sample, in particular for detecting glucose in a bodily fluid. The analysis device comprises at least one control element, which is configured to provide a function menu with at least two menu items. The analysis device further comprises at least one adjustable selector element, in particular a mechanically adjustable selector element, which can be adjusted by a user to at least two different selection positions. The selector element is configured to remain in the adjusted selection position after being adjusted. The control element is configured to select a menu item corresponding to the adjusted selection position. The analysis device further comprises at least one operating element. At least one parameter in the selected menu item can be influenced by the user via the operating element.
