Abstract
A one touch laser lancing type blood glucose measurement device, a strip, and the method using it. In particular, the invention relates to a one touch laser lancing type blood glucose measurement device, a strip, and the method using it, which performs blood gathering and blood glucose measurement at the same time, using laser beams generated in a laser module. The laser beams are irradiated into a finger passing a hole of a strip with a focusing lens converging the laser beams, a protect window, and the hole to gather blood, then the blood is absorbed into the strip for measuring blood glucose.
Claims5
A one touch laser lancing type blood glucose measurement device comprising:
- a laser module configured to generate laser beams and irradiate the laser beams;
- a focusing lens that is configured to converge the laser beams generated from the laser module and is disposed in a laser irradiation direction;
- a protecting window disposed between a strip to be inserted and the focusing lens and configured to protect the focusing lens from foreign bodies;
- a controlling unit disposed at a position close to a lateral side of the laser module and configured to control a blood measure and the laser module;
- a strip connector connected to the controlling unit and placed at a position for inserting the strip such that a strip hole of the strip and the protecting window are aligned with each other vertically;
- a body unit configured to contain the laser module, the focusing lens, the protecting window, the controlling unit, and the strip connector;
- an interlock holder disposed on the outside of the body unit, positioned on the upper or lower side of the strip, configured to receive a fingerprint side of a finger and change a state of the laser module into a ready state when the interlock holder is pressed by the fingerprint side of the received finger;
- and
- a button unit disposed on the body unit and configured to operate the laser module.
A strip for use in a blood glucose measurement device, the strip comprising:
- an electrode unit provided at an end of the strip and configured to be inserted into a strip connector to transfer blood information to the blood glucose measurement device;
- a strip hole configured to pass laser beams from a laser module therethrough;
- and
- a polypropylene film included on the upper of the strip hole to prevent the blood glucose measurement device from becoming polluted.
