Abstract

The present invention relates to a biosensor requiring no code card, which can be substantially a glucose monitor having a top key, a bottom key and a confirmation key arranged thereon for using the aforesaid top and bottom keys to control and select a set of English alphabet or numeral in a circulating manner and thereafter confirming and inputting a specific series of alphabets or numerals by pressing the confirmation key, whereas the specific series of alphabets or numerals is corresponding to a set of parameters stored in a parameter referencing unit arranged inside the glucose monitor and can be find on the package of a test strip. As soon as the specific series of alphabets or numerals is inputted into the glucose monitor, the set of parameter corresponding thereto is send to a micro processing unit for using the same to perform a setting and calibration operation so as to enhancing the accuracy of the glucose monitor. In a preferred embodiment, the top and the bottom keys can be replaced and substituted by a left key and a right key.

Claims

1. A biosensor requiring no code card, comprising:

a micro processing unit;

a memory unit;

a display unit;

a power unit;

a test strip;

a test strip interface, for receiving the test strip;

a plurality of keys, for inputting a specific series of characters; and

a parameter referencing unit, for receiving and matching the inputted specific series of characters to a parameter stored therein while sending the matched parameter to the micro processing unit for enabling the same to perform a calibration operation upon the biosensor.

2. The biosensor of claim 1, wherein each character of the specific series of characters is a character selected from the group consisting of English alphabets and numerals.

3. The biosensor of claim 1, wherein the assembly of the plural keys forms a complete set of English alphabet keyboard.

4. The biosensor of claim 1, wherein the assembly of the plural keys forms a complete set of numeral keyboard.

5. The biosensor of claim 1, wherein the plural keys includes a top key, a bottom key and a confirmation key.

6. The biosensor of claim 1, wherein the plural keys includes a top key and a bottom key.

7. The biosensor of claim 1, wherein the plural keys includes a left key, a right key and a confirmation key.

8. The biosensor of claim 1, wherein the plural keys includes a left key and a right key.

9. The biosensor of claim 1, wherein the specific series of characters is specified on a package of the test strip.

10. The biosensor of claim 9, wherein the package is an item selected from a casing, a rubber cover and an instructions leaflet.

11. The biosensor of claim 1, wherein the parameter referencing unit is a read-only-memory (ROM).

12. The biosensor of claim 1, wherein the parameter referencing unit is built in the memory unit.

13. The biosensor of claim 1, wherein the parameters stored in the parameter referencing unit includes magnifying power, slope and intercept.

14. The biosensor of claim 1, being applicable to a test selected from the group of analyte detections in physiological fluids consisting of a glucose test, a urea test, a urine test, a saliva test, a perspiration test, a cholesterol test, a calcium test, a pyruvate test, a serum bilirubin test.
