Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To monitor whether an analysis region of a test element is positioned in an analysis position in a test element receptacle relative to the analysis unit. SOLUTION: The monitoring includes a step of irradiating the analysis region with light from at least one light source, a step of detecting light scattered or reflected at the analysis region by a detector for obtaining detection signals, and a step of evaluating the detection signals by an evaluation unit. In this case, delimitation of a light-transmissive region arranged between the test element and the detector is effected by a delimiting element having a light-opaque region.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide analyzer which can be locked with locking member so as not known to users by a lock function in such a method as inhibiting unwanted disassembly by housing section during assembly process after the completion of functional check, or a method by which disassembly of the system can be checked. SOLUTION: This analyzer 1 is provided with the locking member 11, which is functionally and exclusively utilized for locking the analyzer 1 to be attachable after final functional check of the analyzer. The locking member 11 is desirable to be included in the design of the housing section 2 so that its locking function can not be recognized. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus for analyzing a sample on a test element. Said apparatus comprises at least one electrically contacting component (123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132) for transmitting power, which is suitable for establishing electric contact to at least one other component. The electrically contacting component (123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132) is embodied as an injection-molded circuit support (MID).
Abstract:
Dispositivo de análisis(1) para analizar un componente significativo de una muestra desde el punto de vista médico, en particular un glucosímetro, que incluye una carcasa (2) con al menos dos piezas (9, 10), un dispositivo de medición dispuesto en la carcasa (2) para realizar el análisis en una muestra, y un procesador con software para manejar los valores averiguados y para manipular los datos derivados de esos valores medidos, que se caracteriza porque el dispositivo de análisis (1) incluye un elemento de cierre (11), que sirve para el bloqueo del dispositivo de análisis (1) por la fabricación de una conexión mecánica firme entre al menos dos piezas de la carcasa (8, 9), donde el aparato de análisis (1) y el elemento de cierre (11) se han configurado de tal forma que el aparato de análisis puede funcionar (1) incluso sin elemento de cierre (11), de tal forma que en el montaje del aparato de análisis (1) para realizar un control final funcional del aparato de análisis montado por completo hasta el elemento de cierre (11), la función del aparato de análisis (1) se comprueba y se puede abrir la carcasa (2) para una reparación sin dañarla, y de tal forma que en el montaje del elemento de cierre (11) en la carcasa (2), en particular tras realizar un control final funcional del dispositivo de análisis (1), la carcasa (2) se bloquea, de manera que ya no es posible volver a abrir la carcasa sin que ello no sea reconocido tanto en la carcasa (2) como en el elemento de cierre (11), y que el elemento de cierre (11) se ha configurado como pieza de carcasa adicional, que conecta al menos dos piezas de carcasa (9, 10).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for analyzing a sample on a test element ( 1) in an analysis system (9) having a test element receptacle (13) and an analysis un it (10), comprising monitoring whether an analysis region (2) of the test element (1) is positioned in the test element receptacle (13) in an analysis position relative to the analysis unit (10), the monitoring comprising the steps of .cndot. irradiation of the analysis region (2) with light from at least one light source (11, 17), .cndot. detection of light scattered or reflected at the analysis region (2) by a detector (12) for obtaining detection signals, and .cndot. evaluation of the detection signals by an evaluation unit. In this case, delimitation of a light-transmissive region (14) arranged between the test element (1) and the detector (12) is effected by a delimiting element (15) having a light-opaque region (16), the delimiting element (15) being positioned relative to the light source (11, 17) and the detector (12) in such a way th at light scattered or reflected at an analysis region (22) of a test element (1) that is arranged in the test element receptacle (13) in an incorrect position in the Z direction essentially impinges on the light-opaque region (16) and does not reach the detector (12), and by comparison of the detection signals with at least one predetermined limit value for identifying an incorrect position in the Z direction in the case where the limit value is undershot.
Abstract:
The analysis device (1) has a housing (2) with two housing parts (9, 10), and a processor with a software for processing measured values ascertained by a measuring unit and for preparing analysis measurement data from the values. A lock element (11) locks the analysis device by producing a fixed mechanical connection between the housing parts. The housing is locked upon mounting the lock element on the housing after performing a final function check of the analysis device, so that the housing is not reopened until the reopening of the housing or the lock element is recognizable. An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing an analysis device for analyzing a medically significant component of a sample.
