First Claim
Patent Images
1. A Method for displaying the remaining serviceable life of a battery-operated analytical device for analysis of a medically-relevant component of a body fluid, the method comprising:
- determining the battery service time that has elapsed between a time of battery voltage supply at which the analytical device was supplied with a battery voltage by inserting a battery, and the current time, whereby the battery service time is determined by means of a system clock of the analytical device;
calculating a remaining number of measurements that can be carried out with the analytical device with the inserted battery by means of the battery service time and one or more further parameters of the battery-operated analytical device and/or its battery; and
displaying the remaining serviceable life of the analytical by means of the calculated remaining number by means of a remaining serviceable life display of the analytical device displaying the remaining serviceable life or the remaining number.

8. A batter-operated analytical device for analysis of a medically-relevant component of a body fluid, the device comprising:
-
a system clock;
a time measuring means for determining a battery service time that has elapsed between a time of battery voltage supply at which the analytical device was supplied with a battery voltage by inserting a battery, and the current time, whereby the time measuring means determines the battery service time by means of the system clock;
a calculating means for calculating a remaining number of measurements that can still be carried out with the analytical device with the inserted battery by means of the battery service time and one or more further parameters of the batter-operated analytical device and/or its battery; and
a display for displaying the remaining serviceable life of the device by means of the calculated remaining number by means of a remaining serviceable life display of the analytical device displaying the remaining serviceable life or the remaining number. - View Dependent Claims (9)
