摘要:
A body fluid sampling device (30) includes a firing mechanism (52) that is configured to be automatically cocked and fired. In one form, the device (30) includes an electric motor (50) that is operable cock the firing mechanism (52) and fire an integrated lancet/sampling device (36) to form an incision in skin. Subsequent to formation of the incision, the integrated lancet device (36) is temporarily removed from the skin to promote bleeding from the incision. After a specified period of time, the integrated lancet device (36) is then repositioned against the skin in order to collect a fluid sample.

摘要:
A lancet wheel (22) having a rim (23) with a plurality of lancets (24) extending radially inward from the rim is dropped in a circular frame (30) having a plurality of spokes forming a plurality of chambers (32) for facilitating drop -in assembly of the modular lancet wheel with the frame. A test ring (26) having a plurality of test sections (28) is assembled on the frame such that one test section is located adjacent each lancet to form an integrated cartridge (20). Each lancet includes a lancet tip (46) defining a capillary groove sized to collect a body fluid sample from the incision via capillary action. The lancet tip exits the chamber to form the incision in skin, the capillary groove collects the body fluid sample, the lancet tip retracts into the chamber, and a portion of the lancet contacts the test section to transfer the sample from the capillary groove to the test section to analyze the sample.
摘要:
An arrangement of interfitting components for adjusting the penetration depth of a lancet and for stimulating an area surrounding an incision formed by penetration of a surface of the skin by the lancet, thereby facilitating the extraction of a sample ofbodily fluid with a minimally invasive incision, the arrangement includes: a bottom end adapted to be applied to the surface of the skin, and a top end opposite the bottom end; a longitudinally moveable lancing member having a sharp end; a stop member setting a longitudinal travel distance of the lancing member; a bottom surface adapted to be applied to the surface of the skin, and an opening in the bottom surface through which the lancing member projects; a penetration depth defined by the distance between the end of the lancing device and the bottom surface; an adjusting mechanism for changing the penetration depth; and a stimulation mechanism for stimulating the area surrounding the incision and facilitating the extraction of the sample of bodily fluid.
摘要:
A bodily fluid sampling device is operable to rupture the skin surface at normal and oblique angles utilizing a flat lancet of specified thickness and at least one cutting surface inclined less than eighty degrees (80°) from the longitudinal axis of the flat lancet. The flat lancet thickness and cutting surface geometry minimize pain while maximizing the amount of emerged bodily fluid. The device limits the depth to which the flat lancet penetrates the skin to further minimize pain and may urge the bodily fluid from the rupture site. The bodily fluid emerging from the rupture site is transported to a test device that tests the bodily fluid for particular properties and characteristics.

The invention refers to a system comprising disposable medical devices and a packaging strip (1) comprising a plurality of chambers (2) containing the disposable medical devices, the strip being folded along breadthwise running fold lines to form a series of loops, each loop comprising opposing sections (3, 4), the opposing sections of at least some of these loops being sealed to each other thus forming chambers (2) between said sections. The invention also refers to a cartridge (10) containing such a packaging strip.
摘要:
The invention relates to a test magazine with two film strips (12, 14), which are joined to one another in a sandwich-like manner, can be wound up, and between which holding cells (16) for test elements are kept free. The test magazine also comprises a multitude of test elements (18, 20) each having a puncturing unit (18) for inserting into body tissue and a test unit (20) for being subjected to body fluid. To this end, the puncturing units (18) and test units (20) are placed in separate holding cells (16) whereby separating them from one another.
