摘要:
A device for taking samples of blood is composed of a tube closed at one end, a ferrule solid with a needle fitting onto the open end of the tube and sealing it except for at least one air outlet hole and the aperture of the needle, and a stopper or cap fitting exclusively onto the ferrule in such a way as to seal the hole or holes as well as the aperture of the needle.

A lancet assembly includes a lancet, a lancet engaging part, and a lancet case housing the lancet and the lancet engaging part. In the lancet assembly of the present invention, the lancet engaging part and the lancet cap are disposed such that they are capable of making contact with each other. When the lancet engaging part is forced to move forward with respect to the lancet in a pricking direction, the lancet cap is pressed by the lancet engaging part, and thereby the bridging component is broken so that the lancet cap is separated from the lancet body. When the lancet engaging part is forced to further move forward, the separated lancet cap moves to the position off a pricking pathway of the pricking component within the lancet case.

A lancet device includes a hollow housing defining a cavity and having a proximal end and a distal end and a slider slidable at least partially within the cavity along a longitudinal axis from an outward position to a pushed position. The slider extends outside of the cavity beyond the proximal end when it is in the outward position. A needle holder holding a needle is rotatable about and translatable along the longitudinal axis when moved from an initial position to an extended position. When the needle holder is in the initial position, the slider is in the outward position. When the needle holder is in the extended position, the lance extends beyond the proximal end. Sliding of the slider to the pushed position enables a first biasing member to urge the needle holder toward the extended position. A second biasing member can be present in the lancet device.

This disclosure provides equipment and processes for blood glucose management. Embodiments may comprise a lancet device that includes a base that supports a lancet and a cover. The cover can move controllably from an un-depressed position to a depressed position when a predetermined force is applied. The cover can provide access to the lancet in the depressed position. In another aspect, a biological test kit may include a reusable module and a disposable module. The disposable module may include one or more lancet devices such as that described above to collect a biological sample, one or more strip stations supporting biological strips and a disposable module connector. The reusable module may support measuring equipment to measure a property of the biological sample and a reusable module connector that engages removably with the disposable module connector.

A skin pricking apparatus includes a casing 1, a lancet 19 located within the casing, and a firing mechanism 5,13,31 for causing a needle tip 22 of the lancet 19 to be driven through an opening 14 in the casing to prick the skin of a user. The firing mechanism including a mechanical interlock 6,27 which is released by substantially simultaneous external pressure applied separately to two spaced apart components 5,13 of the firing mechanism by a user.
摘要:
A collection container and a method for collecting a biological sample, particularly whole blood, includes at least one stabilizing agent in an amount effective to stabilize and inhibit protein degradation and/or fragmentation. The stabilizing agent is able to stabilize proteases in the biological sample, particularly at the point of collection, by inhibiting protein degradation and/or fragmentation in the sample when the sample is stored. The stabilizing agent includes one or more protease inhibitors.
摘要:
The present invention generally relates, in certain aspects, to systems and methods for application to the skin, and control of actuation, delivery, and/or perception thereof. For example, certain aspects of the invention are generally directed to devices for delivering to and/or withdrawing fluid or from subjects, e.g., to or from the skin and/or beneath the skin. In one aspect, the delivery and/or withdrawal of fluid is at least partially obscured. For example, the obscuration may be by time, and/or by sensory obscuration (e.g., by providing tactile, olfactory, auditory, and/or visual sensations). Certain aspects of the invention are generally directed to devices able to automatically deliver to and/or withdraw fluid from the skin and/or beneath the skin after activation, e.g., where the fluid is delivered and/or withdrawn without the need for any additional intervention. The devices may be activated by any suitable technique. In other aspects, a device may be contained in a package, and when removed from the package, the device may be constructed and arranged to be able to deliver and/or withdraw fluid when the device is applied to the skin, and in some cases, automatically and/or without any further intervention by the subject or another person.

A lancet device comprises a hollow housing defining a cavity and having a proximal end and a distal end. It also comprises a slider slidable at least partially within the cavity of the hollow housing along a longitudinal axis from an outward position to a pushed position. The slider extends outside of the cavity beyond the proximal end of the hollow housing when it is in the outward position. The lancet device also comprises a needle holder holding a lance. The needle holder is rotatable about and translatable along the longitudinal axis when moved from an initial position to an extended position. When the needle holder is in the initial position, the slider is in the outward position. When the needle holder is in the extended position, the lance extends outside of the cavity beyond the proximal end of the hollow housing. The sliding of the slider from the outward position to the pushed position urges the needle holder to the extended position. There is also a first biasing member positioned within the hollow housing at the distal end. The first biasing member exerts a biasing force against the needle holder toward the proximal end when the slider is moved to the pushed position. A second biasing member can be present in the lancet device.
