Abstract:
1. A measuring device for measuring a component in blood, comprising: a sensor, comprising: a holder that holds the sensor; a voltage source for the first analysis portion of the sensor; a detector that detects an oxidation current or a reduction current of the first analysis portion; a calculator that calculates an amount of the component from a value of the detected current of the first analysis portion; a voltage source for the second analysis portion of the sensor; a detector that detects an oxidation current or a reduction current of the second analysis portion; a calculator that calculates a Hct value of the blood from a value of the detected oxidation or reduction current of the second analysis portion, the calculated amount of the component being corrected using the Hct value; and a controller configured to direct application of a voltage by the voltage source for the first analysis portion, communicate with the detector of the first analysis portion, direct application of a voltage by the voltage source for the second analysis portion, and communicate with the detector of the second analysis portion.
