Biological sample measuring device and biological sample measuring sensor used in same

摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to reduce costs for biological sample measurement devices by means of providing a novel method for easily and reliably identifying types of biological sample measurement sensors. Specifically, the present invention provides a biological sample measurement device provided with a main body case, a sensor insertion port, a connector, a light-emitting element and a light-receiving element disposed inside of the main body case in the vicinity of the connector, and a connector terminal. The light-emitting element can irradiate light onto a biological sample measurement sensor attached to the connector. The light-receiving element can receive reflected light or transmitted light from the biological sample measurement sensor attached to the connector. The type of the biological sample measurement sensor is identified on the basis of the light received and recognized by the light-receiving element.

主权项

1. A biological sample measurement device comprising:
a main body case having a sensor insertion port which is for inserting a biological sample measurement sensor having a colored section; a connector which is disposed in the main body case and which is configured to attach the biological sample measurement sensor; a light-emitting element which is disposed in the main body case and which is configured to apply light to the colored section of the biological sample measurement sensor attached to the connector; a light-receiving element which is disposed in the main body case and which is configured to receive the light reflected from the colored section of the biological sample measurement sensor attached to the connector, and output a color data of the received light; a connector terminal which is disposed in the main body case and can be connected to a connection terminal section of the biological sample measurement sensor attached to the connector; a determination section which is configured to determine a type of the biological sample measurement sensor attached to the connector based on the color data; and a measurement section which is configured to measure a substrate in the biological sample in the biological sample measurement sensor attached to the connector based on the determination result of the determination section.
