MEASURING SYSTEM FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF MATERIAL CONCENTRATIONS IN LIQUID MEDIA

摘要

A portable analytical measurement system for diabetic sufferers has a test strip (118) container (112) with a closure (122) and a counter (134) to determine the number of opening events. The assembly further has a data memory device (136) and a wireless data transfer assembly coupled to an analytical module (114). The analytical module measurers the sugar level in a blood sample with a test strip and a wireless data receiver recording the analytical results together with the number and duration of opening events. The data transfer assembly (144) is a transponder. The analytical module emits a warning if the user exceeds a pre-determined number of opening events and/or exceeds the maximum total permissible opening duration for the test strip container. The assembly further has a data processing device to calculate sugar concentration as recorded by the test strips. Also claimed are a test strip container and a process to measure blood sugar concentration.
