Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A laser perforation device that has a simple structure and with which pain to a person in skin perforation is reduced. In the device, a laser beam emitted from a laser emitting device is branched into laser beam paths by splitters and mirrors and pierces skin by applying the split beams to the same position on the skin. Since the skin is pierced by a laser beam with a low output, pain to the person can be reduced.

Abstract: A blood sensor comprises a substrate, a spacer attached to the top of the substrate, a cover attached to the top of the spacer. A blood reservoir defined by a substrate hole formed in the substrate. A part of a spacer hole in the spacer and connected to the substrate hole, and a cover hole formed in the cover is connected to the spacer hole. A supply passage is defined by another part of the spacer hole that communicates with the blood reservoir portion, and detection electrodes are formed in the supply passage. The cover projects from the supply passage toward the inside of the blood reservoir portion farther than the substrate and the spacer.

Abstract: A blood test apparatus having a simple constitution whereby stable measurement can be conducted by surely sampling the blood in an amount being small but sufficient for the test without placing too much burden on a patient. When a first skin contact sensor of this apparatus detects the skin, driving of a negative pressure unit is initiated. Thus, the skin rises and comes into contact with a second skin contact sensor. After piercing into the skin, the negative pressure supply is once ceased. Next, the negative pressure is applied again for a definite period of time. Thus, the opening in the skin is broadened, which facilitates the flow out of the blood.

Abstract: A blood test apparatus having a simple constitution whereby stable measurement can be conducted by surely sampling the blood in an amount being small but sufficient for the test without placing too much burden on a patient. When a first skin contact sensor of this apparatus detects the skin, driving of a negative pressure unit is initiated (time point 166a). Thus, the skin rises and comes into contact with a second skin contact sensor (time point 166b). After piercing into the skin at time point 166c, the negative pressure supply is once ceased. Next, the negative pressure is applied again at time point 166d for a definite period of time. Thus, the opening in the skin is broadened, which facilitates the flow out of the blood (16).

Abstract: Provided is a blood testing apparatus capable of measuring a blood sugar level while keeping the operability, even if the remaining battery life is short. This blood testing apparatus includes a casing (12) having a cylindrical opening cylinder (12b), a blood sensor (22) mounted removably in the opening cylinder (12b) of the casing (12) for analyzing the blood, a blood introducing portion (34) formed in the blood sensor (22) and having an opening for storing this opening with the blood having flown from the skin by a pierce, a laser emitting device (13) disposed in the casing (12) for causing a laser beam to pierce the skin through the inside of the opening cylinder (12b) of the casing and the opening of the blood introducing portion (34), and a needle piercing unit (18) disposed in the casing for piercing the skin with the needle through the opening of the blood introducing portion (34).

Abstract: A laser perforation device that has a simple structure and with which pain to a person in skin perforation is reduced. In the device, a laser beam emitted from a laser emitting device (33) is branched into laser beam paths by splitters (170a, 170b, 170c) and mirrors (171a, 171b, 171c) and pierces skin (13) by applying the split beams to the same position (177) on the skin (13). Since the skin is pierced by a laser beam with a low output, pain to the person can be reduced.

Abstract: A blood test device (21) ensuring successful measurement wherein fingers scarcely slip out from the blood test device and blood never sticks to other sites in the course from the puncture of the patient's skin to the completion of the blood test. This blood test device (21) comprises a cartridge (24) in which sensors (23) pooling blood oozing out from the punctured skin are stored in a layered state, a transport unit transporting a single sensor sheet (23) from the inside of the cartridge (24) to the outside, a holder (25) holding the transported sensor (23), a laser emitting unit (26) puncturing the skin in the state where the sensor (23) is held by the holder (25), and a pump (28) keeping the inside of the holder (25) and the inside of the cartridge (24) under negative pressure.

Abstract: A blood test device using a laser as a puncture means. More specifically, it is intended to provide a blood test device using a laser as a puncture means by which the skin can be fixed at a definite position by raising up the punctured skin under negative pressure and thus bringing it into close contact with a blood sensor and in which the laser is focused into the vicinity of the blood sensor face. Thus, it is possible to provide a blood test device of the laser puncture type whereby the skin can be surely punctured while giving little pain to a patient.

Abstract: A test strip holder comprises a rectangular base having a concave part on its upper surface, arid a slidable moving part that is slidably fitted to the concave part of the base. When measuring the test strip, the test strip is reliably held between the base and the slidable moving part. After measurement, the test strip is ejected semiautomatically from the test strip holder by sliding of the slidable moving part with respect to the base. Therefore, the test strip after measurement, which has health problem and risk of infection, can be semiautomatically discarded without touching the test strip.

Abstract: An adhesive composition includes a mixture of a ferrite powder and a liquid matrix resin that contains at least one of (A) a polyamic acid and (B) a resin which has an imide bond, is capable of an addition reaction with an amine or capable of self-polymerization, and is capable of dissolving in an organic solvent. The adhesive composition uses a thermally stable polyimide resin and can contain a ferrite powder in such a high density as to form a satisfactorily closed magnetic circuit structure.
