Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To raise convenience in using a handheld analysis instrument for measuring glucose concentration of visually disabled diabetics. SOLUTION: The handheld analysis instrument comprising a measuring device for measuring the concentration of an analyte in a sample, and output devices for outputting measurement results. The output devices (4, 6, 7) comprise both an acoustic signal output device (6) for outputting the measurement results through nonverbal acoustic signals and a wireless interface (7) for communicating with an external phonetic output unit, by which the measurement results can be outputted by voice, and the output device (4, 6, 7) have an acoustic mode in which the measurement results are outputted by using the acoustic signal output device (6) and a phonetic output mode in which the measurement results are outputted via the interface (7). The switching of the output device (4, 6, 7) from the acoustic mode into the phonetic output mode is triggered by receiving a signal transmitted by the phonetic output unit. The present invention also relates to an analysis system comprising a handheld analysis instrument of this type and an external phonetic output unit. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a handheld analysis instrument for assaying a medically significant sample, in particular for determining the glucose concentration in body liquids of diabetics, comprising a measuring device for measuring the concentration of an analyte in the sample, an output device (4, 6, 7) for outputting measurement results which were determined using the measuring device, the output device (4, 6, 7) comprising both an acoustic signal output device (6) for outputting the measurement results through nonverbal acoustic signals and also a wireless interface (7) for communicating with an external speech output unit (10), by which the measurement results may be output verbally, the output device (4, 6, 7) havi ng an acoustic mode, in which measurement results are outputted by the acoustic signal output device (6) and a speech output mode, in which measurement results are outputted via the interface (7). A transition of the output device (4, 6, 7) from the acoustic mode into the speech output mode is triggered by receiving a signal transmitted by the speech output unit (10). The present invention also relat es to an analysis system comprising a handheld analysis instrument of this type and a n external speech output unit.

Abstract:
The device has an acoustic signal output device (6) to output measurement results by non-verbal acoustic signals in an acoustic mode and a wireless interface (7) for communication with an external voice output unit. The interface outputs the results in a voice output mode, where transition of the device and interface from the acoustic- into voice output-mode by receiving a signal that is sent by the voice output unit is triggered. An independent claim is also included for a voice output unit with a wireless interface for communication with a hand-held analysis device.
