A lancet driver is provided wherein the driver exerts a driving force on a lancet during a lancing cycle and is used on a tissue site. The driver comprises of a drive force generator for advancing the lancet along a path into the tissue site, and a manual switch for a user interface input.

A container at least to some extent composed of a sheet of composite material, where the composite material includes an aluminum foil with a first and a second surface side, a first polymer layer, bonded to at least one of the two surface sides, where the aluminum foil covers, by way of the polymer layer, at least one aperture of a holder, where the composite material and the holder together form the container, where the holder accepts at least one analytical aid in a cutout, where the aluminum foil has been molded.

The present disclosure relates to a blood collection device, including: a shell; a blade seat, arranged in the shell; an elastic component for providing an elastic force for pivoting the blade seat; a triggering portion, including an operating end and an abutting end, wherein the triggering portion has a first position and a second position for pivoting, the operating end extends to the outside of the shell, the abutting end is located in the shell, based on the operation of the operating end, the triggering portion is suitable for pivoting from the first position that prevents the blade seat from pivoting to the second position that allows the blade seat to pivot based on the elastic force of the elastic component, wherein: a cooperation column is arranged in the shell and is located at the upper side of the triggering portion spaced from the triggering portion; and an elastic arm is connected to the upper side of the triggering portion, the end part of the elastic arm includes a blocking portion, the end part of the elastic arm is suitable for being located on one side of the cooperation column when the triggering portion is at the first position, and is located on the other side of the cooperation column when the triggering portion pivots from the first position to the second position, and the blocking portion provides resistance for the end part of the elastic arm while moving from one side of the cooperation column to the other side.

A lancing device includes a housing, a lancet carrier translational within the housing, a drive spring for propelling the lancet carrier through a translational lancing stroke, and a charging mechanism. The charging mechanism includes a first cam member that is rotatable relative to the housing, a second cam member that abuts the first cam member, is coupled to the lancet carrier, and is restricted from rotation relative to the housing, and a rotatable handle co-rotationally attached to the first cam member. Rotation of the handle rotates the first cam member with it, causing the first cam member to rotate against the second cam member, which in response traverses axially because it is restricted from rotation, thereby retracting the lancet carrier to a retracted or charged state.

An integrated-testing system includes a meter, a lancing device and a storage case. The meter includes a housing, a display and a processor. The storage case holds the meter and the lancing device in a relatively fixed position to each other. The meter and the lancing device are maintained in the storage case in the relatively fixed position until a fluid sample is desired, at which time a first portion of the lancing device is advanced to a position external to the storage case to obtain the fluid sample and a second portion of the lancing device remains relatively fixed in the storage case while the fluid sample is obtained.

A lancing device comprising a housing and a lancet. The lancet comprises a needle and is configured to be movable within the housing from an operational position to a retracted position. The lancing device further comprises a shroud coupled movably to the housing and initially covering the needle, and a biasing member coupled between the lancet and the shroud. The shroud is configured to, when pressed against a sampling site, move rearwards relative to the housing and, at a first point of the rearward movement, allow the needle to contact the sampling site and subsequently, at a second point of the rearward movement, release energy stored in the biasing member to drive the lancet from the operational position to the retracted position. The housing comprises lancet retaining features configured to retain the lancet in the operational position until the shroud reaches the second point of the rearward movement.
