    摘要: An article and a method for monitoring the concentration of an analyte, e. g., glucose, in blood. In one aspect, the invention involves an article comprising a multiple-layer element. In one embodiment, the article comprises: a multiple-layer element comprising: (a) a base layer (b) a cover layer, the cover layer having a first opening for venting the multiple-layer element and a second opening for receiving a biological sample; and (c) a core layer having a first major surface and a second major surface, the core layer disposed between the base layer and the cover layer, the core layer comprising a sample introduction chamber and a optical reading chamber, the first major surface of the core layer in face-to-face contact with the base layer, the second major surface of the core layer in face-to-face contact with the cover layer. The multiple-layer element of this invention allows the use of samples of blood or other biological fluids, such as interstitial fluid, to provide extremely sensitive assay results. The device has been shown to provide accurate and reproducible results with samples having volumes ranging from about 5 &mgr;L to about 20 &mgr;L. In another aspect, the invention involves a method for using the aforementioned article.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for obtaining a sample of interstitial fluid from a patient for subsequent diagnostic tests, e.g., glucose monitoring. In one aspect of the invention, the method comprises the steps of (a) treating an area of the skin with vacuum or heat or both vacuum and heat to increase the availability of interstitial fluid at that area of the skin; (b) forming an opening in the treated area of the skin; and (c) extracting the sample of interstitial fluid from the opening in the skin, with the aid of vacuum and stretching of the skin. In another aspect of the invention, an apparatus for carrying out the method described previously is provided. Th apparatus comprises (a) a device for forming an unobstructed opening in the area of the skin from which the sample is to be extracted, preferably a lancing assembly; and (b) a vacuum pump. Preferably, the apparatus also includes a housing.
