  • Patent number: 11714065
    Abstract: A method of measuring hematocrit is provided. The method for measuring hematocrit includes the following steps. A test strip is provided. The test strip includes a reaction region and a pair of electrodes disposed in the reaction region. A whole blood sample is entered to the reaction region. After the whole blood sample enters the reaction region, a plurality of sets of square wave voltages are intermittently applied to the pair of electrodes based on a square wave voltammetry method to obtain a plurality of feedbacks related to hematocrit. An interval between two adjacent sets of square wave voltages ranges from 0.1 seconds to 4 seconds. A feedback of an n-th set of square wave voltages is obtained to calculate a hematocrit value of the whole blood sample and n is a positive integer greater than 1. A hematocrit value is calculated according to the feedback.

  • Publication number: 20180120258
    Abstract: A method of measuring hematocrit and a method of testing blood are provided. The method for measuring hematocrit includes the following steps. A test strip is provided. The test strip includes a reaction region and a pair of electrodes disposed in the reaction region. A whole blood sample is entered to the reaction region. After the whole blood sample enters the reaction region, a set of square wave voltages is applied to the pair of electrodes based on a square wave voltammetry method to obtain a feedback related to hematocrit. A difference between an initial time when the whole blood sample enters the reaction region and an initial time when the set of square wave voltage is applied ranges from 0.1 seconds to 200 seconds. A hematocrit value is calculated according to the feedback.

  • Patent number: 9903832
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for detecting an analyte concentration. The method includes providing a test strip, which includes a first electrode set including a first reaction area, a second electrode set including a second reaction area, and a reaction reagent layer disposed on the second reaction area. The method includes providing a blood sample and bringing the blood sample into contact with the first electrode set and the second electrode set, applying a first voltage to the first electrode set by voltammetry to obtain a first response value, calculating a hematocrit value according to the first response value, applying a second voltage to the second electrode set to obtain a second response value, and calculating the actual value of the analyte concentration by using the hematocrit value and the second response value.

  • Patent number: 8975465
    Abstract: A diaper having wetness detectors, a system thereof and a wetness detecting method are adapted to detect the excreting status of an animal. The diaper includes a first set of contacts and a second set of contacts which are constituted by conductive material. The first set of contacts and the second set of contacts are respectively disposed on proximal and distal area of the diaper corresponding to the excretory organ of the animal. A detecting circuit detects the electrical property of the first set of contacts and the second set of contacts and then determines the excretion status of the animal to be a reference for a caregiver.
