1. An information acquisition device comprising:
- a data acquisition unit that is configured to acquire measurement data from an external measuring device;
a code reading unit that is configured to read a code to acquire the information represented by the code; and
a data processing unit that is configured to associate the information acquired by the code reading unit with the measurement data acquired by the data acquisition unit,wherein;
the external measuring device is configured to perform measurement of a target component in a sample and accuracy testing of a reference solution used for the measurement of the target component with a sensor;
the code includes a code representing a first use-by date set for the sensor and a code representing a second use-by date set for the reference solution; and
where the code reading unit is configured to acquire the first use-by date and the second use-by date, andthe data processing unit is configured to determine whether or not at least one of the first use-by date and second use-by date acquired by the code reading unit has expired; and
to exercise control intended to ensure that no processing of the sample-related measurement data of an expired first use-by date and/or an expired second use-by date is performed in the information acquisition device, to issue an outbound notification, or to do both.

Abstract
An information acquisition device 10 includes a data acquisition unit 11 acquiring measurement data from an external measuring device 20; a code reading unit 12 reading a code to acquire the information represented by the code; and a data processing unit 13 that associates the information acquired by the code reading unit 12 with the measurement data acquired by the data acquisition unit 11. Medical measuring devices used to measure patient status can be suggested as the measuring device 20. In such a case, for example, codes representing identifiers that identify patients can be used as the code.
