Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of giving the information that blood glucose density measurement is needed to a user at each suitable time. SOLUTION: This glucose analyzer includes : a measuring device 6 for measuring the glucose density; a display device 4 for displaying the glucose density; a signal device 10 for generating a scheduled confirming signal; and a control and evaluating device 7 including a processor and a data memory 8 and used for deciding the scheduled confirming time for actuating the signal device 10. The data memory 8 stores an event and time data including events corresponding to prescribed various events which occur in the living of a user of the glucose analyzer and information on the occurrence time of the event. The confirmed schedule time is determined according to a confirmed schedule time deciding algorithm taking the events and time data over two or more days. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and a device for determining the glucose concentration in tissue liquid (40). Said method and device are used for detecting (sensor 12) measured values for glucose and an endogenous reference substance in a sample liquid (42) obtained by means of microdialysis, microperfusion, or ultrafiltration (probe 10) and correcting the glucose value in accordance with the measured value for the reference substance. The invention is characterized in that the glucose recovery rate is determined from a non-linear correlation with the recovery rate for the ionic reference substance while the measured value for glucose is corrected therewith. Furthermore, the lactate concentration and/or pyruvate concentration is/are used as (an) additional reference substance(s) in the sample liquid to make further corrections.

Abstract:
The invention concerns a method and an apparatus for determining the concentration of an analyte in a body fluid, where the following measures are proposed: providing a layered test element (12) including an enzyme-based chemistry layer which is responsive to the analyte by a color change, applying a sample of the body fluid onto the test element (12), detecting by means of a photometric reflectance measuring device (16) a reflectance value of the test element (12), correcting the measured reflectance value by a predetermined offset value attributed to the test element (12), determining a concentration value of the analyte using the offset- corrected reflectance value.
