Claim:
1. A blood component measurement device that measures a blood component amount in a blood sample using a biosensor into which blood is introduced and then in which a blood component contained in said blood is subjected to oxidation-reduction using an oxidoreductase, wherein the blood component measurement device comprises: a) a first current value measuring device that detects, as a first current value, an oxidation-reduction current that is generated by the oxidation-reduction when a first voltage is applied to a first electrode pair composing the biosensor; b) a second current value measuring device that detects, as a second current value, a current that is generated when a second voltage is applied to a second electrode pair in the biosensor; c) a CPU that exerts control so that, over a predetermined period after the introduction of the blood into the biosensor, both pairs of electrodes are turned on, and the first current value measuring device measures the first current value multiple times while the first voltage is continuously applied to the first electrode pair, and the second current value measuring device measures the second current value while the second voltage is applied to the second electrode pair; d) a converter that converts, to blood component amounts, pairs of any one of a plurality of first current values measured by the first current value measuring device and the second current value measured by the second current value measuring device; and e) a calculator that calculates the blood component amount for the blood introduced into the biosensor, using a plurality of the blood component amounts converted by the converter.
