1. A physiological signal monitoring device comprising:
a base (1) that includes a bottom plate (111) adapted to be mounted to a skin surface of a host, and an inner surrounding wall (114) protruding from a top surface (115) of said bottom plate (111), said top surface (115) and said inner surrounding wall (114) cooperatively defining a mounting groove (113) therebetween, said bottom plate (111) of said base (1) being formed with a through hole (118) extending through top and bottom surfaces (115, 116) thereof;
a biosensor (2) that is mounted to said base (1) and that includes
a mounting seat (21) mounted to said mounting groove (113), and
a sensing member (22) carried by said mounting seat (21) and adapted to be partially inserted underneath the skin surface of the host in an inserting direction (D4) for measuring at least one analyte of the host and to send a corresponding physiological signal, said sensing member (22) having a sensing section (222), a signal output section (221) and an extended section (223) that interconnects said sensing section (222) and said signal output section (221);
a transmitter (3) that is removably mounted to said base (1) in the inserting direction (D4), that is for receiving and transmitting the corresponding physiological signal, and that has a bottom portion (31), said bottom portion (31) facing said base (1) when said transmitter (3) is mounted to said base (1) so as to allow said mounting seat (21) to be disposed between said base (1) and said transmitter (3) and to allow said sensing member (22) to be coupled to said transmitter (3), said signal output section (221) of said sensing member (22) being directly and electrically connected to said transmitter (3); and
a sealing unit (4) that includes a plurality of sealing members for sealing at least one liquid leakage pathway, said plurality of sealing members including
a first sealing member (42) clamped between said mounting seat (21) of said biosensor (2) and said bottom portion (31) of said transmitter (3) for sealing a first liquid leakage pathway (a), said first sealing member (42) of said sealing unit (4) abutting against an upper end of said inner surrounding wall (114) of said base (1), said first liquid leakage pathway (a) being cooperatively defined by the through hole (118) and a gap that is formed between said base (1) and said mounting seat (21) and that extends toward where said sensing member (22) is coupled to said transmitter (3), and
a second sealing member (41) clamped between said inner surrounding wall (114) of said base (1) and said transmitter (3) for sealing a second liquid leakage pathway (b).
