20110173024 | INDIVIDUALIZATION OF MEDICAL ADJUVANTS - A method for upgrading a medical device for the treatment of diabetes in the home-monitoring field includes the steps of providing consumables in a housing with a type-specific identification code for use in a medical device, storing the identification code in combination with a user identification and determining a user status, offering a selection according to the user status of at least one configuration of a supplemental module for the medical device, and generating a delivery order for a supplemental module based on the selection made by the user. | 07-14-2011 |
20110230891 | INSERTION DEVICE - There is disclosed an insertion device comprising an insertion needle holder and a drive mechanism for linearly moving the insertion needle holder in a puncturing direction. The insertion needle holder also includes at least one actuating element for actuating a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism converts a driving motion of the actuating element, which extends transversely or opposite to the puncturing direction, into a puncturing motion of the insertion needle holder. | 09-22-2011 |
20120041340 | LANCING SYSTEM - The invention relates to a lancing system, comprising test elements, lancing elements, test elements each assigned to a lancing element and a hand-held device comprising a holder, which during a puncture holds a lancing element and a test element assigned to it, a lancing drive, which during a puncture moves the holder out of a starting position into a piercing position and back into the starting position, a light-sensitive sensor for analyzing a body fluid sample taken up by a test element, and a light source for illuminating the test element. According to the invention, the sensor is disposed in a housing, the outside of which the holder touches in the starting position. | 02-16-2012 |
20120122594 | ANALYTICAL TEST APPARATUS COMPRISING A FRICTION CLUTCH - An analytic test instrument ( | 05-17-2012 |
20120184875 | OPTIMIZED LANCET TAPE - A method for producing an analytical tape, in particular a lancet tape, is proposed. The analytical tape is designed for being used in an analytical testing device with at least a sample-taking function. In the method, at least one supporting tape is provided in a continuous process. A plurality of lancet elements are successively applied directly to the supporting tape at at least one application point. | 07-19-2012 |
20120191011 | Lancing system and tape cassette for a lancing device - A lancing system comprising a lancing elements carrier tape carrying a plurality of lancing elements, a tape transport unit for moving the lancing elements consecutively into a usage position by transporting the lancing elements carrier tape, a lancing drive for causing a lancing element located in the usage position to perform a lancing movement, and test elements with detection reagents for analyzing a body fluid sample obtained by a puncture is presented. Additionally, a test elements carrier tape is provided, which carries the test elements. The lancing elements carrier tape and the test element carrier tape are located on top of one another with tape sections that carry unused test elements or unused lancing elements. | 07-26-2012 |
20120253374 | LANCET GRIPPER FOR USE IN A LANCET DEVICE - A gripper device for use in a lancet device for generating a sample of a body fluid. In the lancet device, a plurality of lancets can be provided in succession on a carrier element in an application position. The gripper device is equipped to seize one lancet at a time in the application position and carry out a piercing movement using the lancet. The gripper device includes at least one stop element, which is equipped to stop the lancet in the application position and temporarily prevent further movement of the carrier element. The gripper device further includes at least one positioning element, which is equipped to position the lancet during the piercing movement in a direction transverse to a piercing direction. The gripper device can further include at least one counter-gripper, which is equipped to cooperate with the stop element whereby the lancet can be held with a form fit. | 10-04-2012 |
20120283528 | TAPE MAGAZINE WITH REWIND LOCK AND INTEGRATED TAPE RELEASE - A replaceable magazine for use in an analytic test instrument a plurality of analytic aids on a carrier tape. The analytic aids can be made available in an application position of the magazine by means of the carrier tape. The magazine has a supply reel for holding regions of the carrier tape with unused analytic aids and a take-up reel for holding regions of the carrier tape with used-up analytic aids. The carrier tape can be moved in a spooling direction from the supply reel to the take-up reel. The magazine has a rewind lock of the take-up reel. The magazine has a tape release device, which is configured to make available a take-up reel tape reserve of the carrier tape on the side of the application position facing the take-up reel. The take-up reel tape reserve enables a lifting movement of an analytic aid situated in the application position. | 11-08-2012 |
20120316468 | PIERCING SYSTEM - A piercing system has a carrier band carrying piercing elements with test elements disposed in-between. The carrier band holder, which is coupled to a piercing drive, holds a segment of the carrier band and moves together with the segment and a piercing element at the segment during lancing. A wind-up roll displaces the band in a band transport direction. A measuring device measures analyte concentration of a bodily fluid sample received by a test element. A segment of the band having an unused test element is guided past a carrier band segment disposed in the holder or behind the holder in the band transport direction. The two carrier band segments are pressed against each other for transferring the sample from the piercing element to the test element. A method for transferring a bodily fluid sample from a piercing element to a test element is described. | 12-13-2012 |
