20100042128 | CAP FOR LANCING DEVICE WITH ADJUSTABLE MODE OF OPERATION - Caps and cap assemblies for lancing devices with adjustable modes of use are disclosed herein. In accordance with some embodiments of the invention, an adjustable cap assembly for a lancing device having a housing is disclosed. The assembly comprises at least one cap comprising a cap body with a skin-engaging end that defines a piercing aperture, an end opposite the skin-engaging end configured to removably engage an end of the housing and a lancet receiver within the cap body and configured to receive a lancet. The at least one cap is configured to adjust a penetration depth of the lancet with axial movement of the cap relative to the housing and to adjust an effective size of the piercing aperture with the lancet receiver. | 02-18-2010 |
20100042129 | ADJUSTABLE CAP AND LANCING DEVICE AND METHOD OF USE - Disclosed are cap embodiments each comprising a body having a skin-engaging end defining a piercing aperture, a lancet receiver, and an intermediate member. A first cam path is located on one of the lancet receiver and the intermediate member, and a first cam follower is located on the other of the lancet receiver and the intermediate member that engages the first cam path. A second cam path is located on one of the cap body and the intermediate member, and a second cam follower is located on the other of the cap body and the intermediate member that engages the second cam path. The first and second cam paths are configured such that rotation of the intermediate member by an actuating mechanism causes the cap body to move forward and rearward and the lancet receiver to move forward and rearward. Also disclosed are lancing devices and methods of use. | 02-18-2010 |
20100042130 | LANCET AND PACKAGING THEREFOR - A lancet device is provided with stackable features to carry a plurality of lancets as a single unit. The lancet device includes a lancet body with a sharp tip at one end for drawing a sample of blood. The lancet body has opposing sides with projections on one of the opposing sides and depressions on the other opposing side. The projections and depressions are configured such that projections on one lancet body securely engages into the depressions of an adjacent lancet body providing a stacked formation. As an alternate, the plurality of lancets can be housed in an elongated member so that the plurality of lancets can be transported as a single unit. | 02-18-2010 |
20100042131 | COCKING MECHANISM FOR LANCING DEVICE - A lancing device is disclosed in which cocking of the lancet holder is achieved in response to retraction of a push member. A lancing device is also disclosed in which a lancet storage compartment is provided in the housing of the lancing device and closing movement of a closure member for the storage compartment has the effect of cocking the lancet holder. Methods of cocking lancing devices are also disclosed. | 02-18-2010 |
20100095229 | GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE FOR GLUCOSE MONITORING SYSTEM - Graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for a medical device such as a blood glucose meter, systems and methods are provided. Embodiments include GUIs in which a user may navigate between icons and select certain display outputs which summarize all or certain glucose data over particular time periods. In certain embodiments, animated icons and/or graphs and/or text summaries may be provided. | 04-15-2010 |
