Claims15
In combination, a measurement device and a cartridge which delivers a biological sample to be measured to the measurement device, the measurement device comprising:
- a housing having a first part and a second part;
- and
- at least one display integrated in the housing,
- wherein the second part has a recess with an opening for insertion of the cartridge into the recess, the recess protruding through the first part of the housing to deliver the biological sample to be measured to the first part,
- wherein the first part encloses an angle with the second part of the housing and protrudes away from the second part far enough to fit and abut a hand of a user for being held by the hand of the user,
- wherein the cartridge after insertion into the first part is nearly completely or completely enclosed by the first part, and
- wherein the first part of the housing comprises a detection device which detects a parameter of the biological sample delivered by the cartridge.
