Embodiment Construction

[0034] Blood Glucose Meter (BGM) 100 in figure 1 shown in . BGM 100 is shown in perspective view. The BGM 100 has a generally flat base, which is not visible in the figure. The BGM100 is about as tall as it is long and about one-third as wide as it is tall.

[0035] On one side of the BGM, first, second and third inputs 101, 102, 103 are provided. For example, these could employ push switches or touch-sensing transducers. Also provided on the side of the BGM near the input devices 101 to 103 is a display 104 . This can take an appropriate form, such as a liquid crystal display (LCD), electronic ink, etc. In use, the user can control the BGM 100 using the input devices 101 to 103 and can provide information from the BGM through the display 104 .

[0036] Located in front of BGM 100 is hole 105 . The hole 105 is located approximately at half the height of the BGM. The aperture 105 is configured so as to be able to receive a part of the user's body for the purpose of draw...

Abstract

An apparatus and a method for measuring a property of a blood sample are shown. The apparatus comprises a housing having an aperture; a shaft (204) mounted inside the housing; a testing member (505) rotatably mounted on the shaft; an actuating member (501, 502) coupled to the housing and configured to exert a force against the testing member; and a lancet (506) for eliciting a blood sample fixedly coupled to and protruding substantially radially from the testing member and configured to co-rotate with the testing member. The apparatus is further configured such that the lancet is aligned with the aperture in the housing when the testing member is in a first position. The testing member is configured, in the presence of a force exerted against the testing member by the actuator member, to translate to a second position in which the lancet is in a skin penetrating position.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to devices and methods which allow measurement data to consist of blood samples. The invention also relates to a device comprising a blood analysis portion for receiving a blood sample. Background technique [0002] Diabetics may be given large amounts of insulin, for example by injection, sometimes multiple times a day. The amount of insulin suitably depends on the person's blood glucose level, so measurement of blood glucose level may also occur several times a day. [0003] Blood glucose level measurement is typically a multi-stage process. First a slit is made, wherein a knife or needle is used to pierce the user's skin, for example at the end or side of a finger. Once the appropriate amount of blood has been produced, the sample is placed on the test strip. A person may need to squeeze their fingers in order to induce adequate blood drainage. Occasionally, it is necessary to perform a seam cut. The test strip is then su...
