Abstract:
1. A blood measuring apparatus comprising: first and second chambers which communicate with each other through an aperture; first and second electrodes which are disposed respectively in the first chamber and the second chamber; a diluting solution tank connected separately to each of the first and second chambers; a diluted blood producing unit connected to the diluting solution tank wherein blood and a diluting solution are combined to produce diluted blood and connected separately to each of the first and second chambers; a controller in communication with the first and second chambers, first and second electrodes, the diluting tank and the diluted blood producing unit and configured to perform blood measurement by causing a current to flow between the first and second electrodes when diluted blood supplied to the first chamber by the diluted blood producing unit is contained in the first chamber and a diluting solution is contained in the second chamber, wherein the controller is configured to initiate an electrolysis cleaning process and to apply a voltage between the first and second electrodes when the diluting solution is contained in both of the first and second chambers.
