A puncturing tool for small animals which has a novel structure, facilitates confirmation of the connection state of a capillary tube, and can prevent inadvertent detachment of the capillary tube. A puncturing tool for small animals includes a connecting part for a capillary tube on the proximal end side of a hollow needle, wherein the connecting part has a tapered peripheral wall that expanding and extending in a direction away from the hollow needle, and a tapered peripheral wall has an elastic fitting part, through which the capillary tube is inserted, projecting inward from a middle portion of the tapered peripheral wall in the length direction thereof.

A repeater system may control a pump by using a repeater and a user interface. An adhesive patch system may be used for affixing a pump or other object to a human body. Such an adhesive patch system may include two sets of adhesive members, each member including an adhesive material on at least one side so as to attach to the body. The members of the first set are spaced to allow the members of the second set to attach to the body in spaces provided between the members of the first set, and the members of the second set are spaced to allow members of the first set to detach from the body without detaching the members of the second set. Also, fill stations and base stations are provided for personal pump systems.

Bodily fluid sample collection systems, devices, and method are provided. The sample is collected at a first location and subjected to a first sample processing step. The sample may be shipped to a second location and subjected to a second sample processing step that does not introduce contaminants into a plasma portion of the sample formed from the first processing step. The sample may also be mixed with other material(s) in the collection device.

The invention relates to a device for detecting at least one substance in the blood of an individual, which comprises a main body and a replaceable sterile head, said replaceable head comprising: means for disinfecting the skin of said individual; means for collecting blood from said individual; means for collecting said blood,
in which the replaceable head comprises means for diluting the blood and in which the replaceable head is functionally connected to the main body of the device

A body fluid sampling device (100) provides a user with the ability to sample and/or analyze a fluid in the body (body fluid) such as blood, puss or venom. The device (100) includes at least: a body fluid reservoir for containing the sampled body fluid and a fluid extraction mechanism including at least one conduit or needle connected to a conduit injection and retraction mechanism and a vacuum reservoir. After connecting the body fluid reservoir to the sampling device, a vacuum seal of the body fluid reservoir is adapted to be broken so as to cause the sucking of the body fluid into the body fluid reservoir. The sampling device (100) aids in executing a method (200) of the invention consisting of collecting body fluid such as capillary blood samples without the intervention of medically trained personnel. The sampling device (100) enables the user to: (a) sample a body fluid, optionally auto-sampling; (b) optionally, using one or more droplet(s) of the sampled body fluid, to immediately analyze the body fluid; and (c) provide a medical analysis tube (4000) meeting size and interface standards filled with the sampled body fluid for analysis in a point of care or medical lab. The sampling device includes a vacuum tube and an interface therefor. The vacuum tube provides the suction necessary to draw the body fluid from the user/patient and to fill the vacuum tube with the body fluid.
