Patent ID: 8888942

Claim:
A method of producing an analysis tape for analyzing body fluid samples, the method comprising the steps of: transferring diagnostic auxiliary labels from a laminate tape to at least one vacuum roller, wherein the diagnostic auxiliary labels are supplied by means of a laminate drive that drives the laminate tape, and wherein the at least one vacuum roller is driven by at least one vacuum roller drive; detecting a position and/or orientation of the diagnostic auxiliary labels on the at least one vacuum roller with at least one first sensor and detecting at least one tape position or reference mark of a carrier tape of the analysis tape with at least one second sensor, wherein the carrier tape is driven by at least one carrier drive, and wherein exactly one diagnostic auxiliary label is situated on the at least one vacuum roller; and transferring the diagnostic auxiliary labels from the at least one vacuum roller to the carrier tape in accordance with the detected position and/or orientation of the diagnostic auxiliary labels on the at least one vacuum roller and the tape position or the reference mark of the carrier tape, wherein at least the at least one vacuum roller drive and the at least one carrier drive are synchronized and thus operated in a predetermined, known, adjustable or controllable drive ratio with respect to one another.
