Benefits of technology

This patent describes two technical innovations: a lancet device and a biological test kit. The lancet device is designed to be easy to use, with a cover that can be opened and closed to control the movement of the lancet. The design minimizes pain and maximizes blood flow, making it more comfortable for patients to monitor biological properties for disease management. The test kit includes a reusable module and a disposable module, with components that can be replaced at different intervals. The test kit is portable, easy to operate with one finger, and can provide immediate management of blood glucose levels for better disease management.

Problems solved by technology

A lancet that is inserted deeper than levels recommended for a specific user can cause a high volume of blood flow and significant pain.
By contrast, a lancet that is inserted less deep than recommended levels introduces less pain, but does not draw sufficient quantity of blood for testing blood glucose levels.

Abstract

The application discloses a lancet device (100) that includes a base (102) that supports a lancet (104) and a cover (106). The cover can move controllably from an un-depressed position to a depressed position when a predetermined force is applied. The cover can provide access to the lancet in the depressed position.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Ser. No. 13 / 946,838 filed Jul. 19, 2013, and provisional application U.S. Ser. No. 61 / 817,172 filed Apr. 29, 2013, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]This disclosure relates to technology for collecting biological samples to measure a biological property.BACKGROUND[0003]Monitoring blood glucose several times per day is a recommended way for controlling blood glucose levels in patients managing diabetes. Good blood glucose control minimizes loss of life, reduces limb amputations, and enhances quality of life for hundreds of millions of people. It is often recommended by physicians that patients managing diabetes monitor blood glucose levels typically four times a day to mitigate the risks of poor blood glucose control.[0004]Devices for managing blood glucose typically include a lancing tool. In operation, the tool is opened, and a disposable lance...
