Abstract:
The invention relates to a test device (110) for determining at least one analyte concentration in a sample by means of at least one test element (136). The test device (110) can especially be used to measure glucose, especially blood sugar, cholesterol and/or coagulation. The inventive test device comprises a housing (112) which can be closed and opened, and a storage device (134) for receiving at least one test element (136). The at least one test element (136) is embodied in the form of a strip, and the storage device (134) comprises a cartridge (134), preferably a replaceable cartridge (134). Said cartridge (134) comprises a plurality of cavities (135) which are used to receive the strip-type test elements (136) essentially in parallel. The inventive test device also comprises a measuring device having at least one measuring position, and a dispensing device (140, 160). Said dispensing device (140, 160) comprises means (140, 166) for transporting the at least one test element (136) out of at least one storage position of the storage device (134) when the housing (112) is opened.

Abstract:
A test device (110) for determining at least one analyte concentration in a sample by means of at least one test element (136) is proposed. The test device (110) can be used particularly for glucose measurement, in particular blood glucose measurement, cholesterol measurement and/or coagulation measurement. The test device according to the invention comprises a housing (112) with a closed state and an opened state, and a storage device (134) for receiving at least one test element (136). The at least one test element (136) is designed as a strip-shaped test element (136), and the storage device (134) comprises a magazine (134), preferably an exchangeable magazine (134). The magazine (134) comprises a large number of cavities (135), and the strip-shaped test elements (136) are received substantially parallel to one another in said cavities (135). A measuring device, with at least one measurement position, and a dispensing device (140, 160) are also provided. The dispensing device (140, 160) comprises means (140, 166) for conveying the at least one test element (136) from at least one storage position of the storage device (134) during opening of the housing (112).
