Abstract:
1. An analyte testing device, comprising: an analyte sensor module to advance an analyte sensor upon actuation for an analyte test-and structured to include a sensor cartridge and analyte sensors stored in the sensor cartridge, the analyte sensor module including an opening from which the analyte sensor is capable to advance to a testing position to expose at least a portion of the analyte sensor to outside of the analyte testing device; a lancet module to project a lancet upon actuation and structured to include a lancet cartridge and a plurality of lancets stored in the lancet cartridge; and an actuator to actuate the analyte sensor module and the lancet module, the actuator including: wherein the device is operable to perform a single operation of the buttons to move the analyte sensor to the testing position and to move the lancet projecting link from an initial position to a cocked position for projecting the lancet, and the device is operable to eject the analyte sensor from the device by an eject operation that includes the movement of the button from the second position to the third position, wherein the button is a sliding button that includes two separable buttons including a first button and a second button, wherein the first button is operable to return back to the first position after the movement of the button between the first position and the second position, and the second button is operable to move from the second position to the third position in the third operation, and wherein the actuator further includes a button stop mechanism structured to include a in coupled to the button that prevents the button from returning to the first position when the single operation is initiated and not completed.
