Abstract: A nebulizer includes a main body unit, an atomization unit, and a breath detection unit, which is a function unit for realizing an additional function of the nebulizer. The main body unit and the atomization unit are separable. The atomization unit includes a storage section for storing the medicinal solution, and an atomizing section for spraying the medicinal solution by atomizing the medicinal solution in the storage section. The main body unit includes a control circuit for performing control to operate the atomizing section. The breath detection unit is attachable between the main body unit and the atomization unit.

Abstract: In a thin plate member washing apparatus, when a rotary arm member supporting a mesh member holding portion is rotated using a rotary handle, tap water flows over the surface of a mesh member, and medicinal fluid residue deposited on the mesh member is removed.

Abstract: In a thin plate member washing apparatus, tap water showering down from water flow holes of a water flow plate makes contact with outer rotary blades and inner rotary blades provided in a rotary supporting member, thereby rotating the rotary supporting member. Moreover, the tap water falling on a mesh member held by a mesh member holding portion flows over a front surface and a back surface of the mesh member based on a centrifugal force due to rotation of the mesh member and removes medicinal fluid residue deposited on the mesh member. The medicinal fluid residue removed from the mesh member is directly carried by the tap water and discharged to the outside of the thin plate member washing apparatus through a fluid outlet opening.

Abstract: A portable electrocardiograph (1A) includes a body unit (100) arranged with a negative electrode and a detachable unit (110) arranged with a positive electrode, where the detachable unit (110) is detachably attached to the body unit (100). The negative electrode and the positive electrode are both exposed in a state where the detachable unit (110) is united to the body unit (100). In the portable electrocardiograph (1A), an electrocardiographic waveform can be measured both in a state where the detachable unit (110) is united to the body unit (100) and in a state where the detachable unit (110) is separated from the body unit (100). According to such a configuration, it is possible to obtain the portable electrocardiograph in which a degree of freedom in measuring position is enhanced such that the electrocardiographic waveform can be measured by selecting a specific measuring position from a plurality of measuring positions according to a situation.

Abstract: In a portable electrocardiograph (100), including a negative electrode (121) to be contacted by a hand of a subject and a positive electrode (122) to be contacted to a predetermined measurement site of a subject, for measuring an electric signal detected by the negative electrode (121) and the positive electrode (122) as an electrocardiographic waveform, springs (190a, 190b, 190c, 190d) for supporting the positive electrode (122) in a freely oscillating manner are arranged in a body unit (110) including the negative electrode (121) and a processing circuit for measurement. Thus, a portable electrocardiograph that excels in handleability and that enhances the contacting stability between the electrode and the measurement site can be achieved.

Abstract: A measuring unit is placed at the surface of a living body. The pressure inside of a glass container is reduced by a pressure reducing tank, so that a subcutaneous exuding fluid is taken out at the surface of the living body from under a skin. The subcutaneous exuding fluid is allowed as a sample to be measured to reach a metallic film through porous molecular weight selective films. A light beam emitted from a light source passes through a prism, and then, is reflected on the metallic film, and finally, is received on a linear array sensor. A minimum intensity position on the linear array sensor, generated by surface plasmon resonance is obtained, and then, a resonant angle is detected. The concentration of substance to be measured contained in the sample to be measured is calculated based on the resonant angle and position.

Abstract: The invention provides a blood sugar measuring device to measure blood sugar either non-invasively or with only slight invasiveness which is capable of better measurement accuracy. The device receives as input measured data related to blood sugar level such as patient mealtime and how much food he had, or if he had an insulin injection and adjusts the measured blood sugar value based on the data which are previously input based on the above measured data. The device also may include a retry indicator which retries the measurement (or directs the user to retry the measurement) if the measurement result is out of a proper or predetermined range.

Abstract: A portable biochemical measurement device including a measurement main body containing an enzyme sensor holder for an enzyme sensor. A cover, mounted on the measurement main body, covers the enzyme sensor holder. The cover contains a chamber filled with a liquid medium to maintain the moisture of the enzyme sensor. Inside the cover are a cartridge and packing, which form the chamber containing the liquid medium. The enzyme sensor holder is inserted into the cover through the packing so that the enzyme sensor is immersed in the liquid medium thereby keeping the enzyme sensor moist.
