PIERCING DEVICE, BLOOD INSPECTION DEVICE, AND PIERCING METHOD

摘要

A piercing device, a blood inspection device, and a piercing method that facilitate timing management for piercing. The piercing device has a housing (22), a laser emission device (26) being piercing means provided in the housing (22), a holding section (25) provided facing the laser emission device (26), negative pressure means (28) for applying negative pressure to a negative pressure chamber (28a) provided at the holding section (25), an electric circuit section (27) for controlling the negative pressure means (28), a first skin sensor (28b) for causing the laser emission device (26) to prepare for operation, and a timer (27k) for automatically outputting a preparation-for-piercing-is-ready signal based on an output from the first skin sensor (28b). Based on the output from the timer (27k), the laser emission device (26) being the piercing means emits a laser beam (26h) to perform piercing.
