Measurement system for measuring substance concentrations in liquid media
First Claim
1. A portable analytical measurement system for measuring substance concentrations in a liquid media, the system comprising:
- a) a test strip container for receiving at least one test strip, said test strip container includinga sealing device,a counter device for counting a number of opening processes of the sealing device,a data carrier for storage of batch-specific data of the at least one test strip,a data transmission device for wireless transmission of the batch-specific data and of the number of opening processes of the sealing device, andb) an analysis module, said analysis module includinga device for measuring substance concentrations in the liquid media by the at least one test strip, anda data-receiving device for wireless reception of the batch-specific data from the data transmission device and of the number of opening processes of the sealing device.

Abstract
A system and method for measuring substance concentrations is provided. The system has a test strip container for receiving a test strip(s). The container has a sealing device, a counter device that counts a number of opening processes of the sealing device, a data carrier that stores batch-specific data of the test strip(s), a data transmission device for wireless transmission of the data and of the number. An analysis module has a device for measuring substance concentrations by the test strip(s), and a data-receiving device for wireless reception of the data from the data transmission device and of the number. The method records the number and stores the number on the data carrier; sends data and the number by wireless transmission to the analysis module, and determines a substance concentration by the test strip(s). Also or instead, the counter device counts a time duration of the opening processes.
