Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
42 words
An electrode probe comprising an insulating
needle member, an electrode system including a counter
electrode and a working electrode disposed on the surface
of said needle member, a lead connected to said counter
electrode, and a lead connected to said working electrode.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
59 words
The electrode probe in accordance with claim
1, wherein said lead connected to said working electrode
is made of a linear conductive member which is finer than
said needle member, said lead being partially embedded in
said needle member and said conductive member
protruding from the tip end of said needle member which
protruding portion forms said working electrode.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
The electrode probe in accordance with claim
2, further comprising a reagent layer formed on the
surface of said needle member in contact with or in the
vicinity of said electrode system.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
The electrode probe in accordance with claim
1, further comprising a pit formed at the tip end of said
needle member, said pit being disposed with said working
electrode and counter electrode.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
63 words
The electrode probe in accordance with claim
4, wherein said lead connected to said working electrode
is made of a linear conductive member which is finer than
said needle member, said lead being partially embedded in
said needle member and said conductive member
protruding inside said pit present at the tip end of said
needle member, which protruding portion forms said working
electrode.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
The electrode probe in accordance with claim
4 or 5, further comprising a reagent layer disposed in
said pit.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
The electrode probe in accordance with any one
of claims 1 to 6, further comprising a third electrode and
a lead connected thereto.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
66 words
Body fluid examination equipment comprising the
electrode probe in accordance with any one of claims 1 to 7, means for applying a voltage across the
electrode system of said electrode probe and obtaining
analyte information from said electrode system in the form
of an electric signal, means for determining a measurement
value of an analyte based on said electric signal and a
body fluid leaking instrument.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
21 words
The body fluid examination equipment in
accordance with claim 8, further comprising display means
for displaying the measurement value as determined.
