摘要:
A diagnostic test element (110) for detecting an analyte in a sample (126) of a bodily fluid, in particular in whole blood, is proposed. The diagnostic test element (110) comprises at least one test field (116) with at least one detection reagent, wherein the detection reagent is adapted to go through at least one detectable change in the presence of the analyte, in particular an optical change. The test field (116) comprises at least one detection layer (118) that comprises the detection reagent, said layer comprising particles (137). In the process, at least 90% of all particles (137) of the detection layer (118) have an actual particle size of less than 10 micrometers.

The invention relates to an analytical system for determining an analyte in a body fluid, comprising a disposable integrated sample collection and analytical element which includes a lancing element (7) having a tip (15) for lancing the skin of a body part and a flat test strip (6) having a sample receiving zone (10) into which a body fluid sample is transferred to carry out an analysis. The sample receiving zone (10) of the test strip (6) is arranged on one of its flat faces (9) that configures a sample contact side (11). The lancing element (7) is arranged in parallel to the test strip (6) and can be moved during at least part of the lancing path relative to the test strip (6) on a movement path. The lancing element (7) is arranged adjacent to the sample contact side (11) of the test strip (6). It has a capillary channel (17) with a sample inlet (23) through which the body fluid can enter the capillary channel (17) after lancing, and a sample outlet (24) through which the body fluid can escape from the capillary channel (17). The movement of the lancing element (7) includes a sample transfer position in which the sample outlet (24) is adjacent to the sample receiving zone (10) of the test strip (6) in such a manner that the body fluid can be transferred from the capillary channel (17) through the sample outlet (24) to the sample receiving zone (10).
摘要:
Body fluid sampling device comprising a skin-piercing element (1) having a collection zone (9) for receiving body fluid, and the device further comprising a fluid receiving means (10) remote spaced apart from said collection zone so that body fluid in said collection zone will not contact the fluid receiving means initially. Said collection zone takes up a very small volume of body fluid of about 10 to 500 nl in a very short time period of less than 0,5 s. Said fluid receiving means may have a test zone for performing an analytical reaction. Fluid sample from said collection zone is automatically or manually transported to said fluid receiving means to contact said fluid with said test zone.

摘要:
A device for collecting samples of body fluids is described which has at least one lancet, comprising a lancet body and a tip. The device is characterized in that the lancet includes a structure of changed stiffness, which can also be referred to as a kinked area. This structure preferably has reduced stiffness compared to the rest of the lancet body, such that the lancet is preferably kinked in this area under the action of a force. As this happens, the tip is changed in orientation with respect to the rest of the lancet body. This change of orientation is preferably out of the plane of the lancet body.
摘要:
An integrated bodily fluid sampling device (60) is used to sample a bodily fluid from an incision in skin. The device includes a lancet (62) for forming the incision in the skin. A housing is coupled to the lancet (62). The housing defines at least in part a capillary channel (98) with an opening (100). The capillary channel (98) is sized to draw the bodily fluid from the incision via capillary action. A test size (72) is positioned along the capillary channel (98) for analyzing the fluid. In one form, a flexible sheet (76) extends from the housing proximal the opening (100) of the capillary channel (98) for drawing the bodily fluid into the opening (100) of the capillary channel (98). In another form, the lancet (62) is slidably received inside the channel (98). During lancing, the lancet (62) extends from the housing to form the incision. Fluid from the incision is drawn into the channel (98) and is deposited on the test strip (72) for anaylsis.
摘要:
The present application concerns a body fluid testing device (10) for analyzing body fluids, comprising a test media tape (30) adapted to collect the body fluid, a supply portion (100) storing an uncontaminated section of the test media tape, a storage portion (110) for storing a contaminated section of the test media tape, an exposure portion positioned between the supply portion and the storage portion, the exposure portion being adapted to expose a section of the test media tape to the body fluid. An important aspect is a tip portion (20) for exposing a test medium to body fluid application. The application further concerns a test media cassette for housing test media. Another aspect is a testing device and method that employs illumination of a test medium at the site for body fluid application.
