The present disclosure relates to a capillary blood collecting device which includes a fixing device including an accommodating cavity for accommodating a blood collection finger and a squeezing member for squeezing blood to a fingertip site. The capillary blood collecting device is configured to detachably accommodate at least one skin puncture part on a blood collection side of the finger, and the skin puncture part includes a blood lancet that may be driven to puncture the blood collection finger, such that a sufficient amount of capillary blood quickly flows out from the capillary blood converged at the fingertip under the action of blood lancet.

A point-of-care diagnostic system that includes a cartridge and a reader. The cartridge can contain a patient sample, such as a blood sample. The cartridge is inserted into the reader and the patient sample is analyzed. The reader contains various analysis systems, such as an electrophoresis detection system that uses electrophoresis testing to identify and quantify various components of the blood sample. The reader can process data from the various patient sample analysis to provide interpretative results indicative of a disorder, condition, disease and/or infection of the patient.

Embodiments of the present invention provide magnetic lancet devices and methods for driving a lancet. For example, a magnetic lancet device may include a driving mechanism having a plurality of magnets and a lancet coupled to the driving mechanism. A magnetic interaction between the plurality of magnets is configured to drive the lancet from an engaged position to a penetrating position.

The present disclosure relates to a continuous glucose monitoring apparatus, and provides a continuous glucose monitoring apparatus of which a body-attachment unit starts operating, in a state in which the body-attachment unit is inside an applicator, by the supply of power to the body-attachment unit through a user operation, such as separation and removal of a protective cap, so that the operating start time point of the body-attachment unit is formed by means of the user operation immediately before the body-attachment unit is inserted into and attached to the human body, thereby enabling the body-attachment unit to start operating at an appropriate point in time, the body-attachment unit starts operating only by simply removing the protective cap even without performing separate additional work for starting operation of the body-attachment unit, thereby improving use convenience, and an operating method for a power supply switch means that supplies battery power to the body-attachment unit is formed as various methods that are linked with a separation and removal operation of the protective cap, and thus manufacturing and use convenience can be further improved.

An apparatus for insertion of a medical device in the skin of a subject is provided, as well as methods of inserting medical devices. Embodiments include removing a substantially cylindrical cap from an inserter to expose a substantially cylindrical sleeve, removing a cover from a substantially cylindrical container holding sensor components, and fitting the sensor components into the inserter.

A lancing device including a latch that pivots between a non-blocking position allowing a lancet carrier and a lancet to advance and retract through a first forward and reverse lancing stroke and a blocking position preventing further/excess/secondary oscillation of the lancet carrier and lancet. The pivotal latch can pivot about an axis perpendicular (e.g., for an L-shaped latch) or parallel/coaxial (e.g., for a sleeve latch) to the advancement and retraction motion of the lancet carrier and lancet.

The present disclosure provides a lancing device that includes a lancet for piercing a user's skin and a lancing device body to drive the lancet. An actuator included in the lancing device body can drive the lancet to perform a linear reciprocating motion multiple times upon a single activation. Accordingly, the lancet may pierce the user's skin multiple times upon a single activation.

A lancing device including a latch that pivots between a non-blocking position allowing a lancet carrier and a lancet to advance and retract through a first forward and reverse lancing stroke and a blocking position preventing further/excess/secondary oscillation of the lancet carrier and lancet. The pivotal latch can pivot about an axis perpendicular (e.g., for an L-shaped latch) or parallel/coaxial (e.g., for a sleeve latch) to the advancement and retraction motion of the lancet carrier and lancet.

A kind of safety lancing device has a front cap and lancet holder with feature: the front cap and lancet holder are connected in insert-plug type, and the front cap is equipped with connecting block at connection end and the lancet holder is equipped with slot at connection end. And the slot includes slideable slot and deadlock slot. The slideable slot is located in front of deadlock slot. The latch is set at the flexible arm end of ejection pin and the latch is equipped with bayonet at the front end and equipped with latch hook at rear end; the width of slideable slot and deadlock slot is larger than that of latch; the slideable slot is equipped with a blocking shoulder at rear end and the deadlock slot is equipped with latching shoulder at front end.
