CA 2657511

A self contained disposable test unit (10) for testing body fluid comprises a body member (14) and a support member (18). The support member (18) is moveable with respect to the body member (14) between a first position and a second position. The support member (18) includes a body part receiving surface (20) for receiving a patient's body part. A lancet (24) is carried by the body member (14) and includes a lancet tip (27) capable of piercing the skin of a patient to produce fluid flow. A test member (160) is capable of interacting with body fluid to aid in the determination of information about body fluid components. A capillary member (144) is capable of directing fluid flow to the test member. A pressure cup (120) is capable of exerting pressure on a body part to foster fluid flow out of a lanced site and into the capillary (130), and a calibration member (162) is provided for containing information for facilitating calibration of the test unit (10).

L'invention concerne une unité de test jetable autonome (10) pour tester un fluide corporel, comprenant un élément de corps (14) et un élément de support (18). L'élément de support (18) est mobile par rapport à l'élément de corps (14) entre une première position et une deuxième position. L'élément de support (18) comprend une surface de réception de partie de corps (20) pour recevoir une partie de corps du patient. Une lancette (24) est portée par l'élément de corps (14) et comprend une pointe de lancette (27) qui est capable de percer la peau d'un patient pour produire un écoulement de fluide. Un élément de test (160) est capable d'interagir avec le fluide corporel pour aider à déterminer des informations relatives aux composants du fluide corporel. Un élément capillaire (144) est capable de diriger l'écoulement de fluide vers l'élément de test. Une poche de pression (120) est capable d'exercer une pression sur une partie de corps pour projeter l'écoulement de fluide à travers un point de perforation dans le capillaire (130), et un élément de calibrage (162) est présent pour contenir des informations destinées à faciliter le calibrage de l'unité de test (10).
