Abstract:
A lancet driver is provided wherein the driver exerts a driving force on a lancet during a lancing cycle and is used on a tissue site. The driver comprises of a drive force generator for advancing the lancet along a path into the tissue site, and a manual switch for a user interface input.
Abstract:
A body fluid testing device has at least one penetrating member and a penetrating member driver configured to be coupled to the at least one penetrating member. A plurality of analyte sensors are coupled to a spoked disk substrate. Each of a penetrating member can pass between spokes of the disk substrate to provide that a used penetrating member can be removed and a new penetrating inserted without removing the disk. A disposable houses the at least one penetrating member and the plurality of analyte sensors.
