摘要:
A method for producing a membrane ring or test strip ring for a diagnostic test device includes an elongate strip that is divided into segments by cuts running transversely to the longitudinal direction of the strip, where the cuts are made only as far as a residual width of the strip so that a material bridge remains intact between the segments adjacent to the cuts (24). The strip is closed by bringing its ends together to form a ring where the cut edges of the cuts running towards the material bridges each enclose an acute angle (α). The ring is inserted into a support structure as a membrane ring or test strip ring for the test device.

A medicament injection device includes a device body portion that includes a penetrating member channel. A penetrating member is provided with a sharpened distal tip and shaft portion that is slidably disposed within the penetrating channel to provide for a penetrating to travel in a linear axial movement. A pierceable membrane isolates a penetrating member in an associated penetrating member chamber. A medicament reservoir is in fluid communication with the penetrating member. The medicament reservoir is configured to house a medicament and is coupled to the penetrating member to allow for delivery of medicament to a tissue site.
摘要:
A body fluid sampling device for use on a patient includes at least one penetrating member positioned in the cartridge and a sample port for receiving a body fluid. A channel is coupled to the sample port and the sample chamber. At least a portion of the channel is a capillary channel positioned adjacent to the sample chamber. A mesh membrane is and provides that the body fluid contacts the channel regardless of an orientation of body fluid sampling device.

Analyte testing and monitoring methods, systems, and devices are disclosed. In one aspect, an analyte testing device includes an analyte sensor module configured to hold a sensor cassette structured to store analyte sensors, the analyte sensor module including an opening from which an analyte sensor advances to a testing position to expose at least a portion of the analyte sensor to outside of the analyte testing device; and a lancing module configured to hold a lancet cassette structured to store lancets and project the lancets to outside of the analyte testing device during a blood sample acquisition event to pierce a user's skin.
摘要:
A holding device and an inserter are provided. The holding device includes a casing providing a cavity including walls, the was encompass a subcutaneous unit. The cavity includes a first side having an outlet opening, the outlet opening before use is covered with a penetrable or removable cover, and a second side comprising a layer having an outer surface and being penetrable, removable or flexible to transfer an impact from outside the layer to the subcutaneous unit. The casing includes a releasable attachment member corresponding to a member on the subcutaneous unit and a needle secured to the casing. An impact towards the outer surface of the layer pushes the subcutaneous unit at least partly out of the casing into a subcutaneous position, when the unit is in the subcutaneous position the releasable attachment member of the casing is released allowing detachment of the unit from the casing.
摘要:
A method for producing an analytical magazine is proposed. The analytical magazine is designed to receive a plurality of analytical aids in a plurality of chambers. The method comprises the following steps: providing at least one first component of the analytical magazine, wherein the first component comprises a plurality of receptacles; providing a plurality of analytical aids, wherein the analytical aids are connected to one another and preferably oriented with respect to one another by at least one holding element; introducing the analytical aids into the receptacles; and separating the analytical aids from the holding element.
摘要:
A tissue penetration device and method of using same. The tissue penetration device may optionally include sampling and analyzing functions, which may be integrated. An embodiment provides control of a lancet used for sampling blood. Electric field coils or solenoids may drive the lancet using electromagnetic force. Advancement and retraction of a lancet may be controlled by a feedback loop monitoring the position and velocity of the lancet embodiments of the lancet driver can be configured to follow a predetermined tissue lancing profile. Embodiments of the invention include a lancet and method for using a lancet to maintain the patency of the wound tract once the lancet has cut into the skin.
