Patent number: 8414504Abstract: A blood test device using a laser as a puncture member. More specifically, in a blood test device using a laser as a puncture member, the skin can be fixed at a definite position by raising the punctured skin under negative pressure, and thus the skin is brought into close contact with a blood sensor and the laser is focused on the vicinity of the blood sensor face. Thus, it is possible to provide a blood test device of the laser puncture type in which the skin can be surely punctured while giving little pain to a patient.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2007Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Masaki Fujiwara, Yoshinori Amano, Takeshi Nishida, Toshihiro Akiyama, Masataka Nadaoka, Toshiki Matsumoto, Kenichi Hamanaka, Kiyohiro Horikawa, Koji Miyoshi

Patent number: 8395363Abstract: A high voltage generation circuit for laser puncture in which the voltage for laser puncture can be boosted up to the laser oscillation level in a short time with low power loss. The high voltage generation circuit drives a laser unit for puncturing the skin by oscillating laser light. In the high voltage generation circuit, a capacitor is charged to supply power to the laser unit. A booster circuit supplies a current to the capacitor, and a voltage measurer measures the voltage of the capacitor. A controller controls the booster circuit based on an instruction from a user or the voltage of the capacitor to start precharge of the capacitor with a first current value at a first timing, and to start main charging of the capacitor with a second current value higher than the first current value at a second timing, later than the first timing.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2008Date of Patent: March 12, 2013Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Keisuke Matsumura, Toshiki Matsumoto
