摘要： A cartridge reader controlled by processing means for carrying out a diagnostic test on a sample contained in a fluidic cartridge comprises a mechanical valve for isolating the sample with the cartridge. A system for actuating the mechanical valve comprises an actuation member configured to move the mechanical valve from an open position to a closed position and an armature connected to the actuation member. The armature is configured to engage an electromagnet, wherein the electromagnet can be switched between an active state in which it electromagnetically holds the armature and an inactive state in which it does not electromagnetically hold the armature. First biasing means are disposed between the actuation member and a bearing surface, wherein the first biasing means is configured to bias the actuation member into a first position in which it actuates a mechanical valve in a fluidic cartridge inserted into the reader.

摘要： Embodiments described herein relate to an analyte monitoring device having a user interface with a display and a plurality of actuators. The display is configured to render a plurality of display screens, including a home screen and an alert screen. The home screen is divided into a plurality of simultaneously displayed panels, with a first panel displays a rate of change of continuously monitored analyte levels in interstitial fluid, a second panel simultaneously displays a current analyte level and an analyte trend indicator, and a third panel displays status information of a plurality of components of the device. When an alarm condition is detected, the display renders the alert screen in place of the home screen, the alert screen displaying information corresponding to the detected alarm condition. Furthermore, the actuators are configured to affect further output of the analyte monitoring device corresponding to the detected condition.

摘要： An instrument for reading a lateral flow assay device by detecting color changes based on human perception includes an optics module having a camera, a signal processor, a storage memory and a comparator circuit. The storage memory has stored therein a dataset of sample readings of reference assay devices similar in structure and function to that of the lateral flow assay device. The sample readings are based on human visual perceptions of colorimetric changes in the detection zones of the reference assay devices. The comparator circuit compares the measured colorimetric data relating to the assay device read by the instrument with the stored database of sample readings based on human visual perceptions of the colorimetric changes of the reference assay devices, and generates a comparison signal which is provided to the signal processor. The signal processor generates a determination signal indicative of the presence, absence or quantity of an analyte.

摘要： Disclosed are a novel means capable of accurately calculating the amount of in-vivo components as a test substance, and its uses. A sensor assembly 20 includes an electrochemical sensor 30 for measuring a test substance percutaneously extracted from a living body, and a processor 115a for calculating the intensity of the background signal at the measurement time point of the test substance after the elapse of the predetermined time based on the change over time of the intensity of the background signal measured within a predetermined time before measurement of the test substance by the electrochemical sensor 30. In this way, the amount of the in-vivo component as the test substance can be accurately calculated since the calculated value of the intensity of the background signal to be subtracted from the unprocessed signal including the signal attributable to the test substance can be obtained.

摘要： Certain implementations have a main body case having a contact face of a biological information measurement device on its surface, and a first non-contact charging portion composed of a charging coil disposed opposite the contact face with the biological information measurement device inside the main body case. In addition, some may have a controller that is connected to the first non-contact charging portion, and a display section that is connected to the controller. Upon completion of the charging of the biological information measurement device via the first non-contact charging portion, the controller connected to the display section may display on the display section that the biological information measurement device will be incapable of measurement for a specific length of time.

摘要： A system and method is described for rapid charging and power management of a battery for a meter. A charger component is operably associated with the meter and is capable of executing a rapid charge algorithm for a rechargeable battery. The algorithm includes monitoring for a connection to an external power source and implementing a charging routine of a battery at a first charge rate and then at a second charge rate. The second charge rate is lower than the first charge rate. A temperature rise in the rechargeable battery due to the first charge rate has a negligible heat transfer effect on the fluid sample. The meter can also include a power switch for controlling current flow to a battery fuel gauge. The power switch is open when the meter enters into a sleep mode. The state of battery charge is determined after the meter exits the sleep mode.
