摘要:
The invention relates to a lancet wheel having a plurality of lancets (3) disposed in a ring-shaped arrangement, comprising a lancet body (3b) that ends in a lancet tip (3a), and a carrier (5), to which the lancets (3) are connected via radially extending webs (6), which enable the lancets (3) to be erected into a usage position. According to the invention, the lancets (3) are aligned radially and the webs (6) have a plastic body that defines a predetermined bending point about which the webs (6) are bent for erecting the lancets (3). The invention furthermore relates to a method for producing a lancet wheel.

The invention relates to a pricking system comprising a carrier strip (2) carrying a plurality of lancets (3), an appliance housing (9) containing a transport device (6) for successively bringing the lancets (3) into a position of use, by moving the carrier strip (2) in a transport direction, a pricking drive (7) for accelerating the pricking movement of a lancet (3) in the position of use, a housing opening (8) for positioning a body part into which a lancet has penetrated with a pricking movement, and an actuating device (11) for driving the transport device (6). According to the invention, the pricking system (1) has a detachable lock (17, 18, 22) which blocks further transport of the carrier strip (2) as soon as a lancet (3) has reached the position of use. The invention also relates to a lancet carrier strip (2) for such a pricking system.

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).

The application relates to a lancing device for removing body fluids for diagnostic purposes, comprising a coupled tensioning and trigger mechanism, wherein the trigger mechanism is mechanically coupled to the tensioning mechanism such that, upon actuation of the tensioning mechanism, the lancing operation is automatically triggered by steady continuation of the tensioning movement, and wherein the lancing operation thus triggered is carried out by a lancet (91).
摘要:
The test strip stabilizes skin prior to incision by a lancet tip. The innovative test strip includes a pair of skin contacting tabs that apply pressure linearly to the skin to stretch the skin taut. Beneficially an incision by a lancet tip to an accurate depth can be formed on the taut skin. Moreover, pressure from the tabs is applied linearly to the skin which results in a higher ratio of pressure to surface that can be reached as compared to applying pressure laminarily to skin. Some manufacturing techniques of the skin contacting tabs include cutting or stamping through all of the layers and test area of the test strip to form these tabs. These techniques increase the manufacturing efficiency and cost savings associated with test strips and integrated lancet testing devices. Contamination from other sampling events is eliminated since the test strips are disposed of after each use.
