Abstract

A sensor container includes a container body having an opening portion, a lid that covers the opening portion of the container body, and a plurality of sensors for measuring biological information that are housed in the container body. The container body or the lid has a mark that includes information indicating the usable period of the sensors starting from a point in time when the lid is released from the container body. The mark is covered with a removable seal.

Claims

1. A sensor information management system comprising:

a sensor container configured to house a sensor for measuring biological information,

a biological information measuring device configured to mount thereon, the sensor housed in the sensor container,

a communication terminal configured to communicate with the biological information measuring device and receive a measured value obtained by the biological information measuring device,

wherein the sensor container displays a mark indicating sensor information, the sensor information including the number of sensors that are initially housed therein,

the communication terminal includes;

an information reading unit configured to read the mark;

a storage unit configured to store the sensor information being acquired from the mark;

a display unit configured to display the sensor information stored in the storage unit; and

a control unit configured to acquire the sensor information from the storage unit and cause the display unit to display the sensor information, and

the control unit causes the storage unit to store the number of sensors acquired by decreasing from the number of sensors that are initially housed in the sensor container one by one, every time the control unit receives the measured value from the biological information measuring device and causes the display unit to display the acquired number of sensors.

2. The sensor information management system according to claim 1,

wherein the control unit causes the storage unit to store the acquired number of sensors by decreasing from the number of sensors stored in the storage unit by one, every time the control unit receives the measured value from the biological information measuring device and causes the display unit to display the acquired number of sensors.

3. The sensor information management system according to claim 2,

wherein the sensor container has individual identification information.

4. The sensor information management system according to claim 3,

wherein the control unit reads the individual identification information by using the information reading unit and causes the display unit to display the number of sensors corresponding to the individual identification information.

5. The sensor information management system according to claim 4,

further comprising a plurality of sensor containers,

wherein each of the sensor containers has the individual identification information, and the control unit causes the display unit to display the number of sensors corresponding to each individual identification information simultaneously.

6. The sensor information management system according to claim 1,

wherein the sensor container has individual identification information.

7. The sensor information management system according to claim 6,

wherein the control unit reads the individual identification information by using the information reading unit and causes the display unit to display the number of sensors corresponding to the individual identification information.

8. The sensor information management system according to claim 7,

further comprising a plurality of sensor containers,

wherein each of the sensor containers has the individual identification information, and the control unit causes the display unit to display the number of sensors corresponding to each individual identification information simultaneously.
