Abstract
The invention relates to an analysis appliance for analysis of blood samples, and to a user identification method integrated in the analysis appliance. The analysis appliance comprises a sampling device for taking blood samples, and an analysis device. A delivery device is also provided for transferring the blood samples from the sampling device to the analysis device, wherein the operating parameters concerning sampling, transfer of the sample to the analysis device, and analysis of the sample, can be adapted to the respective user. The operating parameters can be adapted by automatic, spontaneous execution of an automatically determined number of test measurements.
