Abstract
A blood testing device in which a blood sensor does not contaminate a piercing section when discarded. The blood testing device (11) is provided with the piercing section (13) having an upper holder (13a) and a lower holder (13b), and also with a connector (18). In piercing operation, the connector (18), the upper holder (13a), and the lower holder (13b) sandwich and hold the sensor (24). To discharge the sensor, the lower holder (13b) is pivoted so as to be separated from the upper holder (13a), which creates a space between the lower holder (13b) and the upper holder (13a) to expose the sensor (24).
Claims21
A blood test apparatus comprising:
- a first holding section composed of a first holder and a second holder that are configured to sandwich a blood sensor therebetween;
- a second holding section that is configured to hold the blood sensor sandwiched between the first holder and the second holder;
- and
- a puncturing section that punctures skin from a first holder side of the blood sensor sandwiched between the first holder and the second holder, wherein;
- the second holding section is rotatable around a rotation axis while holding the blood sensor,
- the second holder is rotatable around the rotation axis so as to define a space between the first holder and the second holder, and
- the second holding section is pivotably mounted on a rotating shaft that is coaxial with the second holder.
A blood test apparatus comprising:
- a holding section composed of a first holder and a second holder that sandwich and hold a blood sensor therebetween;
- a puncturing section that punctures skin from a first holder side of the blood sensor held by the holding section;
- and
- an ejecting section that rotates the second holder to part from the first holder and defines a space between the first holder and the second holder by the rotation to expose the blood sensor,
- wherein the ejecting section includes an ejection button that is coupled to the second holder and provided to slidably move, and a pushing section that is coupled to the ejection button and pushes the blood sensor,
- the ejecting section includes a lifting section that is coupled to the ejection button and lifts the blood sensor, and
- when the blood sensor is ejected, the lifting section separates the blood sensor from a contact surface of the second holder.
