Patent number: 8650047Abstract: A blood glucose measuring device capable of collectively performing blood glucose measurement process and collectively performing insulin administration process on many patients. When having read a patient ID with a patient ID reading section, a control section identifies a record of the patient of a measurement/administration results table. The control section does not perform blood glucose measurement on the patient of the identified record which shows that a blood glucose measurement flag is “true” and an insulin administration confirmation flag is “false”, and displays an insulin dosage on a display unit with respect to the patient by referring to a prescription information table based on the blood glucose level has been measured. The control section does not display the insulin dosage on the display unit again for the patient whose record is identified which shows that the insulin administration confirmation flag is “true”.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2012Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: Terumo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hiroko Horiguchi, Yoshihisa Sugawara, Toshihisa Nakamura, Yoshiaki Yaguchi

Patent number: 8423386Abstract: The present invention is made to prevent accident of mistaking blood glucose meter among a plurality of blood glucose meters used in a hospital ward. The blood glucose meter is provided with a nickname area in a nonvolatile storage thereof, and the nickname area can be written from outside. Further, when the blood glucose meter is powered on, a nickname is displayed on a display thereof. A measurement data managing device is provided with a blood glucose meter individual setting table in which the serial number and the nickname of the blood glucose meter are is register in association with each other. When the measurement data managing device is connected with the blood glucose meter and communication is started, the serial number of the blood glucose meter is automatically read out, and the nickname obtained from the blood glucose meter individual setting table is displayed on the display.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2008Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: Terumo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Koichiro Asama, Yoshihisa Sugawara, Hiroyuki Myoujou, Hiroko Horiguchi, Ryouichi Yoshinari

Patent number: 8326650Abstract: The present invention is made to provide a safe and efficient blood glucose measuring device capable of collectively performing blood glucose measurement process and collectively performing insulin administration process on many patients, while ruling out the risk of misidentification and misprescription among the patients. When having read a patient ID with a patient ID reading section, a control section identifies a record of the patient of a measurement/administration results table. The control section does not perform blood glucose measurement on the patient of the identified record which shows that a blood glucose measurement flag is “true” and an insulin administration confirmation flag is “false”, and displays an insulin dosage on a display unit with respect to the patient by referring to a prescription information table based on the blood glucose level has been measured.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2008Date of Patent: December 4, 2012Assignee: Terumo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hiroko Horiguchi, Yoshihisa Sugawara, Toshihisa Nakamura, Yoshiaki Yaguchi

Publication number: 20100256473Abstract: The present invention is made to provide a safe blood glucose measuring system capable of preventing medical accidents such as forgetting to measure the blood glucose and/or forgetting to administer insulin. An incomplete patient history processing section periodically searches an insulin administration instruction table for blood-glucose-unmeasured patient, and writes blood-glucose-unmeasured patient in a patient history table. A complete patient history processing section writes data from a blood glucose measurement table in the patient history table as blood-glucose-measured patient. An incomplete patient warning processing section periodically searches the patient history table, and provides control to display a warning when finding any blood-glucose-unmeasured patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2008Publication date: October 7, 2010Applicant: TERUMO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Koichiro Asama, Yoshihisa Sugawara, Hiroyuki Myoujou, Hiroko Horiguchi
