Light components are radiated into a blood vessel from light-emitting diodes (17, 18) for emitting light components having different wavelengths through an optical fiber. Bight components reflected by the blood upon radiation into the blood vessel are received by a photo transistor (19) to detect their reflected light intensities. For example, a minimum value of the reflected light intensity of the light component from the light-emitting diode (18) is obtained from the reflected light intensities detected within a predetermined period of time. A measurement value is calculated using this minimum value and a minimum value of the reflected light intensity of the light component from the corresponding light-emitting diode (17).
