Abstract
A body fluid measuring apparatus, comprising a main body (20) and a lancet holder (30) installed on the main body (20), the lancet holder (30) further comprising a lancet (31) capable of being moved for piercing to allow body fluid to be bled from skin (S) and a biosensor (36) introducing the bled body fluid for a specified measurement, wherein the biosensor (36) is moved in a specified direction by a sensor moving mechanism (40, 42).
Claims19
A body fluid measuring apparatus comprising:
- a main body;
- and
- a lancet holder for attachment to the main body;
- wherein the lancet holder includes a lancet movable for stabbing a skin to draw body fluid, and a biosensor for introducing the drawn body fluid to perform predetermined measurement;
- and
- wherein a sensor moving mechanism including a motor is further provided for moving the biosensor in a predetermined direction.
A lancet holder comprising:
- a lancet which is movable for stabbing a skin to draw body fluid;
- and
- a biosensor for introducing the body fluid drawn to perform predetermined measurement;
- wherein the biosensor is held inclined relative to a longitudinal axis of the lancet for movement along a movement path.
