Abstract

The present invention discloses a data storage device for integrating the data of several medical measuring instruments, comprising a control unit which is coupled to a transmitting unit, a computation unit, a data storage unit, a display unit, and a reminding unit, such that when it is in use, the transmission unit will send the data measured by a medical measuring device to the control unit, and then save the data to a specified location of the data storage unit. Through the selection made externally, the specified data can be read from the data storage device, and sent and displayed on a display unit with a specified way. In the meantime, the computation unit will compare the data with the basic set value; if the data exceeds the basic set value, then the control unit will instruct the reminding unit to issue a warning to remind users.
