ABSTRACT:
A blood test apparatus negatively pressurizes a vicinity of a site to be punctured for collecting blood at an appropriate time without resorting to a special operation. More specifically, a blood test apparatus includes a housing having an opening; a puncturer; a first sensor that detects contact of a front face of the opening with a site to be punctured; a negative pressure generator that negatively pressurizes an inside of the opening; and a blood sensor that collects blood. The negative pressure generator starts when the first sensor detects the contact of the front face of the opening with the site to be punctured.
