Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a non-invasive and continuous biomedical detections and non-invasive and continuous monitoring methods and devices for extracting and analyzing interstitial fluid extracted non-invasively and continuously from the skin of a subject comprising non-invasively electroporating the skin using a non pulsed voltage in combination with a pulsed voltage and applying negative pressure
Abstract:
This invention is regard to an analysis device that analyze a specific component in bodily fluid extracted from the skin using an analysis tool. The analysis device comprise a laser beam oscillation section that emits a laser beam for extracting the bodily fluid from the skin, and a detection mechanism that detects whether or not the analysis tool exists at a target position. The analysis device is adapted to emit the laser beam from the laser beam oscillation section when the analysis tool is detected by the detection mechanism.
Abstract:
Provided is a blood testing apparatus capable of measuring a blood sugar level while keeping the operability, even if the remaining battery life is short. This blood testing apparatus includes a casing (12) having a cylindrical opening cylinder (12b), a blood sensor (22) mounted removably in the opening cylinder (12b) of the casing (12) for analyzing the blood, a blood introducing portion (34) formed in the blood sensor (22) and having an opening for storing this opening with the blood having flown from the skin by a pierce, a laser emitting device (13) disposed in the casing (12) for causing a laser beam to pierce the skin through the inside of the opening cylinder (12b) of the casing and the opening of the blood introducing portion (34), and a needle piercing unit (18) disposed in the casing for piercing the skin with the needle through the opening of the blood introducing portion (34).
Abstract:
It is possible to provide a laser unit which can sting a skin with a small-diameter hole causing a small pain. The laser unit (1) includes: a laser rod (3) which applies a laser beam; a lens (7) which collects a laser beam applied from an irradiation unit; and a laser transmission plate (9) having a mirror portion on the side to which the laser beam comes in and a rough portion having an average surface roughness Ra on the side from which the laser beam goes out. With this configuration, the laser beam which has passed through the laser transmission plate (9) is scattered by the rough portion and the intensity of the laser beam applied to the skin is not concentrated to the center. Moreover, the laser beam generates an impulse wave when passing through the rough portion. That is, the energy is discharged in advance.
Abstract:
A laser perforator for perforating skin of a patient and obtaining of blood samples consists of laser light source for producing an output laser beam, a focusing arrangement for focusing the output laser beam at a skin area selected for perforation, a guiding arrangement, a power supply unit and a retaining arrangement for retaining the skin area. The retaining arrangement is formed to intensify blood circulation in the skin area selected for perforation.
Abstract:
A non-invasive focused energy blood withdrawal and analysis system (1) is provided. A laser energy source (11) and a vacuum pump (9) are mounted within a portable housing. A focused laser beam is directed on an epidermal layer to create a microscopic incision in the epidermis of a patient. Vacuum pump (9) draws a blood sample from the microscopic incision through a disposable fluid displacement device (2). A removable dry slide is placed in the fluid path of the blood sample to receive the blood sample. Further, sensor elements (6 and 7) are mounted within the portable housing on either side of the removable dry slide (8) to perform blood analysis. A logic processing unit (5) is provided in electrical communication with sensor elements (6 and 7) for performing the necessary blood analysis.

Abstract:
Systems, methods, and kits are disclosed for collection, labeling and analyzing biological samples containing nucleic acid in conjunction with collecting at least one ridge and valley signature of an individual. Such devices and methods are used in forensic, human identification, access control and screening technologies to rapidly process an individual's identity or determine the identity of an individual.
Abstract:
A surgically invasive pointed article for skin penetration and its fabrication method are presented. The present invention comprises a protruding sharp end portion and a body portion, the protruding sharp end portion comprising at least one penetration tip that can be disabled after use. The tip disablement after use is an effective safety measure in eradicating accidental injuries and re-use. The tip disablement can be carried out manually by the user or automatically if the article is used with a custom-made tip-disabling applicator. The skin penetration device can be used as a lancet for blood sampling, a needle for immunization and skin allergy testing, or a skin breaching device for transdermal drug delivery. The second aspect of the invention is a method for preparing the surgically invasive pointed article for skin penetration. The preparation method includes injection mould the articles into at least two body segments, the first body segment comprising at least one protruding end for skin penetration, and the second body segment being hollow forming a handle for handling purpose or an adaptor for fitting into an applicator. The third aspect of the invention is an over-moulding process for packaging purposes, wherein the articles moulded with a first material mentioned above are over-moulded with a second softer and cheaper material to form various additional functional parts.
