Abstract

A health examination card and its explainer wherein the health examination card can be used to test the biochemical items of blood (BLD), bilirubin (BIL), urobilinogen (URO), protein (PRO), nitrite (NIT), glucose (GLU), free calcium (Ca), etc and the card explainer can be used to analyze the test results of the above items so as to inspect the health status and provide the early indication of the diseases for finding diseases early. Besides, said examination card and its explainer is easy to use.

Claims

1. A method for providing a test report for a plurality of biochemical test items of a health examination card comprising dipping the health examination card with a plurality of test paper patches attached thereon which correspond to the biochemical test items into the human body fluid to be tested, then taking the card out of the body fluid after a predetermined time, and then inputting a semi-quantitative density reaction color of each test paper patch into an interpreter for said health examination card, said interpreter providing a test report including a test result as well as an identification of the matters needing attention.

2. A method as set forth in claim 1, wherein said test items may be selected from blood (BLD), bilirubin (BIL), urobilinogen (URO), protein (PRO), nitrite (NIT), glucose (GLU), free calcium (Ca).

3. A method as set forth in claim 1, wherein said method may be used to analyze urine, blood (serum), saliva.

4. A health examination card comprising a test strip and test paper patches having semi-quantitative density test function and capable of biochemical testing, said test paper patches are attached on the test strip in a particular sequence and at fixed intervals, and, said test paper patches correspond to the biochemical test items to be tested.

5. A health examination card as set forth in claim 4, wherein said test strip is 2.0-10.0 mm wide and 40.0-150.0 mm long.

6. A health examination card as set forth in claim 4, wherein said test strip is 21.0-56.0 mm wide and 40.0-100.0 mm long.

7. A health examination card as set forth in claim 4, wherein the sequence of said biochemical items is arbitrary.

8. A health examination card as set forth in claim 4 can be used to analyze urine, blood (serum), saliva etc., wherein a recognizable label is marked on said test strip for directing placement of a use'"'"'s hand.

9. A health examination card, comprising a housing, input keys, a LCD screen and a core element, said input keys are arranged corresponding to types of test paper patches attached on the health examination card, for said types of test paper patches five input keys are assigned, colors of a surface of the input keys respectfully correspond to semi-quantitative density reaction colors of a respective test paper patch from a light color to a dark color, which respectively represent a test result of (−

), +, ++, +++, ++++, an analysis program is stored in the core element, when an input key is pressed, the analysis program stored in the core element will output a report including the test result as well as information from the analysis program requiring attention onto the LCD screen for the biochemical item represented by said input key.
