PIERCING DEVICE, BLOOD INSPECTION DEVICE, AND PIERCING METHOD
First Claim
1. A puncturing apparatus comprising:
- a housing;
a puncturing section that is provided in the housing;
a first skin detecting section that detects that skin touches a predetermined puncturing position;
a second skin detecting section that detects swelled skin after the first detecting section detects contact with the skin;
a control section that allows the puncturing section to puncture the swelled skin when the second skin detecting section detects the swelled skin.

Abstract
A piercing device, a blood inspection device, and a piercing method that facilitate timing management for piercing. The piercing device has a housing (22), a laser emission device (26) being piercing means provided in the housing (22), a holding section (25) provided facing the laser emission device (26), negative pressure means (28) for applying negative pressure to a negative pressure chamber (28a) provided at the holding section (25), an electric circuit section (27) for controlling the negative pressure means (28), a first skin sensor (28b) for causing the laser emission device (26) to prepare for operation, and a timer (27k) for automatically outputting a preparation-for-piercing-is-ready signal based on an output from the first skin sensor (28b). Based on the output from the timer (27k), the laser emission device (26) being the piercing means emits a laser beam (26h) to perform piercing.
