Abstract:
1. A disposable device for analyzing body fluid, comprising: a container which can be inserted into a measuring apparatus, the container having a disk-like configuration and containing a plurality of sampling members formed as a lancet wheel, each of the sampling members having a proximal body portion and a distal skin piercing tip extending at an angle from the proximal body portion to form a contact portion between the proximal body portion and the distal skin piercing tip, the proximal body portion attached to a rim of the lancet wheel, the distal skin piercing tip configured to pierce skin of a body part, and the contact portion disposed at a bend between the proximal body portion and the distal skin piercing tip configured for transfer of a body fluid sample; a plurality of test members corresponding to the plurality of sampling members for receiving body fluid obtained by the skin-piercing, wherein the plurality of test members are fixed in a plurality of retaining chambers of the container; and wherein each of the sampling members is configured to move from an initial state wherein the sampling member does not contact the test member to a skin-piercing state wherein the sampling member rotates away from the test member to form an incision in skin, and further wherein each of the sampling members is configured to move from the skin-piercing state to a transfer state wherein the sampling member rotates towards the test member so that the contact portion is in fluidic connection with the test member to transfer body fluid after the skin-piercing.
