Claim Text:
1. A method for configuring a system for withdrawing body fluid from a body part via a withdrawal site, comprising: measuring a value of at least one variable dependent on the location and state of the withdrawal site by using a sensor, wherein at least one of the following variables is measured: temperature, electrical resistance, electrical conductivity, electrical current strength, electrical voltage, position, inclination, pressure, acceleration, or optical variables; selecting a setting, which is dependent on the value of the measured variable to thereby influence the withdrawal of body fluid, in the system wherein the setting is selected dependent on the value of the measured at least one variable and by the selection of the setting the system for withdrawing body fluid is automatically adapted to withdrawal conditions before skin at the withdrawal site is punctured; wherein at least one of the following settings is selected as a function of the value of the measured variable: blocking or releasing of a puncturing device, wherein the releasing of the puncturing device is bringing the puncturing device into a state ready for activation; setting a puncture depth of a puncturing device selected for creating an opening in the body; setting a geometric shape of a press-on area of the system; setting the cross section of an opening in a press-on area of the system through which opening a puncturing device can penetrate into a surface of the body part; selecting one of at least two press-on areas included in the system; selecting one of at least two puncturing devices contained in the system; setting a duration of a body fluid withdrawal procedure; displaying text on a display device; or displaying or setting evaluation parameters which are used by the system for analyzing body fluid; and wherein the value of the measured variable is stored on a storage medium using GPS or radio-clock information.
