HAND-HELD ANALYSIS APPLIANCE FOR ANALYSING A BODY FLUID, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAID APPLIANCE

摘要

The method involves automatically providing a disposable test field (44) in successive measuring cycles using a control device (16) at a hand-held analysis appliance. Each measuring cycle is triggered by starting actuation during measuring operation of the control device. The control device is shifted by defined control intervention into maintenance operation mode in which the automatic provision of the test field is prevented. Start of the measuring cycle is blocked by the starting actuation in the maintenance operation mode. An independent claim is also included for a hand-held analysis appliance for analyzing body fluid.
