Abstract

PURPOSE:To automatically correct the measurement error by an ambient temp. by correcting the input data of a CPU in accordance with the data on temp. measurement. CONSTITUTION:The CPU 10 sends a start signal to a constant current circuit 4 to drive a light emitting element 3 upon confirmation that the test paper 1 is inserted to a prescribed position when a switch 13 is turned on. The blood 2 of the test paper 1 is irradiated with the light having a prescribed peak wavelength from the element 3 and a light receiving element 5 receives the reflected light corresponding to a color reaction and inputs data via an input amplifier section 8 and an A/D converter 9 to the CPU 10. A temp. sensor 14 detects the ambient temp. and inputs the same via an A/D converter 15 to the CPU 10. The CPU 10 is capable of reading out the data for correction of a memory 11 by the temp. data, correcting the input data, and calculating and displaying a blood sugar value.

When the switch 13 is turned on, a start signal is sent from the CPU 10 to the transistor of the constant current circuit 4, and as this transistor becomes conductive, the constant current circuit 4 operates. As a result, the light emitting element 3 is driven with a constant current, and light having a predetermined peak wavelength is emitted to irradiate the blood 2 on the test strip 1. Reflected light having an amount of light corresponding to the color reaction of the test paper 1 is received by the light receiving element 5, and a current corresponding to the amount of received light flows through the light receiving element 5. This current is converted into a voltage by the current-voltage conversion circuit 6 of the input amplifier section 8, further amplified by the amplifier 7, and then converted into digital data by the A/D converter 9. This data is sent to CPU10 as input data. The CPU 10 reads out the memory 11 based on the input data, and calculates the blood sugar level by performing predetermined arithmetic processing. The calculated blood sugar level is displayed on the display device 12.
