Systems, methods, and devices for determining an acquisition threshold boundary value and applying that boundary value to identify which incoming signals are directed to a device, based on matching the device syncword with the syncword for the incoming signal. For some implementations using ANT protocol, syncwords composed of the last four bits of the preamble and first 14 bits of the network address identify each device. Incoming syncwords are correlated with the device's syncword, and the correlation compared to threshold boundary value which is based on the characteristics of the individual syncword, including syncword bit stream inter-symbol interference.

A kit and a method are provided for facilitating point-of-care testing of bodily fluid. The kit includes a point-of-care testing cartridge and a plastic fitting for use with a syringe to deliver the fluid sample to the testing cartridge. In other embodiments, the kit includes a plastic cannula in place of a fitting. The syringe and plastic cannula can be used with an IV access kit to obtain a sample of fluid. The syringe and plastic cannula then can be used to deliver the fluid to the reservoir the testing cartridge.

A blood glucose monitoring device includes a container, blood glucose test strips and a glucometer. The container includes a body and a cap. The cap or the body has thereon a rewritable signal component preconfigured with a test strip information. The test strip information includes traceability of the blood glucose test strips. The rewritable signal component sends by wireless communication technology an electronic signal carrying the test strip information. The glucometer includes a casing, processing module built-in with a comparison data, control panel, test slot, and signal processing component. The signal processing component receives the electronic signal of the container by the wireless communication technology. The processing module determines whether the test strip information matches the comparison data and creates a container-opened message when the determination is affirmative, thereby allowing the blood glucose test strips to be for use by the glucometer.

A tubular sensor includes a tubular body having a longitudinally extending cavity, an insulation layer formed on the inner wall surface of the tubular body; and a plurality of longitudinally extending electrodes formed on the insulation layer and extending continuously from one end to the other end of the tubular body. The tubular sensor can be employed in a constituent measuring device. The tubular sensor can be manufactured by forming the insulation layer on a thin metal sheet, forming the plurality of electrodes on the insulation layer in stripes, cutting the thin metal sheet with the insulation layer and the electrodes formed thereon to produce a plate-shaped body having a development shape of the tubular body, and press working the plate-shaped body to form the tubular body.

A glucose tolerance test device comprising: a test zone having a means to receive at least first and second blood test samples spaced apart by a predetermined time interval; a timer to measure such a time interval, and for example to measure elapsed time after collection of a said first sample; an indicator to indicate at least that a second test is due, operatively Jinked to the timer so as to make such indication after lapse of a predetermined time interval; a data collector to collect data from the lest zone in relation to each test sample; a data register to store data in relation to each test sample, in data communication with said data collector. A method of use is also described.

A lancing device is adapted for use in firing a lancet into the skin of a patient to acquire a blood sample and, subsequent thereto, calculating and displaying the concentration of glucose in the acquired sample. In one embodiment, the device comprises a lancet and a torsion spring coupled to the lancet through a lancet holder. The torsion spring includes inner, middle and outer rings which are concentrically configured, a plurality of activation spring arms which connect the middle and outer rings and a plurality of return spring arms which connect the inner and middle rings. In use, the plurality of activation and return spring arms can be independently transformed between energized and de-energized states using a single, button-shaped mechanism. Rotation of the mechanism is used to energize the activation and return spring arms. With the return spring arms maintained in their energized state, depression of the mechanism transforms the activation spring arms from their energized state to their de-energized state which drives the lancet from a retracted position to an extended position. Once the activation spring arms reach their de-energized state, the return spring arms transform from their energized state to their de-energized state which pulls the lancet back from its extended position to its retracted position.
