Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Adjustment mechanisms are used in conjunction with integrated lancet test strips to adjust the position of the drive system, engagement system, or the drive coupling in a fixed stroke lancing system to thereby adjust the penetration depth of the lancet. In a variable drive stroke lancing system, the lancet penetration depth is adjusted by changing the stroke length of a drive system. The stroke length of a drive system is adjusted by rotating a cam or sliding a cam in a cam type drive system. In either the fixed or the variable drive stroke lancing system, the test strip and/or guidance foil of the integrated lancet test strip is immobilized while the lancet is actuated.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus, comprising: an integrated lancing test strip including a lancet for forming an incision in tissue and a test strip configured to analyze a body fluid sample; a driver system configured to move the lancet to form an incision, the driver system having a fixed stroke length to move the lancet, the driver system including: a driver configured to fire the lancet, the driver having an extension mechanism; a drive actuator; a cam engagement mem…
