Abstract:
1. A method for producing a plastic injection-moulded part in a rapid diagnosis appliance for evaluation of a test strip having an insert made of a material different from the plastic material, said method comprising the steps of: (a) introducing and positioning an insert in a cavity of an injection mould, wherein the injection mould comprises mould halves and wherein the insert is made of a breakable material and has a damping layer on at least one side facing toward one of the mould halves; (b) setting the clamping force of the injection mould, on a clamping mechanism, to a maximum force predetermined by the material of the insert; (c) seamlessly encapsulating the insert and damping layer with a liquid plastic material inside the injection mould to form a plastic injection-moulded part having an encapsulated insert, wherein the encapsulation is partial or complete; and (d) removing the plastic injection-moulded part from the injection mould.
