Abstract

A biosensing meter plus blood pressure measuring apparatus has a slot, an inflatable and deflatable cuff, a pressure sensor and a microprocessor. The slot is able to accept a code card with multiple parameters or a sample strip that comprises a reaction well and a plurality of electrodes thereon in contact with the reaction well. The pressure sensor is used for detecting arterial counterpressure pulses and oscillations at each of the cuff pressure deflating process. The microprocessor is used for controlling the cuff, converting counterpressure pulses and oscillations to voltage signals, processing the voltage signals into a sequence of peak amplitudes and determining a systolic pressure and a diastolic pressure. Furthermore, the microprocessor is used for reading multiple parameters in the code card to measure an analyte in an analyte-containing fluid and calculating a concentration of the analyte. When an analyte-containing fluid (normally blood) is received on the sample strip, the inspection result is obtained according to the operation procedure and parameters obtained previously by the code card. The present apparatus can monitor the blood glucose and blood pressure values at the same apparatus.
