Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To dispose a plurality of test fields (14) which are arranged spaced from each other on a continuous carrier tape (20) along its length direction, on respective use positions exactly in series. SOLUTION: This invention concerns a test tape for analyzing body fluid comprising the flexible carrier tape (20) and the plurality of test fields (14) arranged spaced apart thereon for the detection of analyte in the body fluid. For an exact and rapid positioning of the fields, it is proposed that the carrier tape (20) is provided with marker areas (12) to register the distance during tape transport.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a hand-held analysis appliance (10) for analysing a body fluid, and to a method for controlling said appliance (10). According to said method, at least one disposable test means (44) is automatically provided in successive measuring cycles, by means of a control device (16), each measuring cycle being triggered by a starting actuation in a measuring operation of the control device (16). According to the invention, a defined control intervention shifts the control device (16) into maintenance operation mode in which the automatic provision of a test means (44) is prevented.
Abstract:
A kit for determining a concentration of at least one analyte in a body fluid of a user is disclosed. The kit comprises a) a sensor module adapted to determine the concentration of the analyte, b) at least one data reader module adapted to receive measurement data transmitted by the sensor module, and c) at least one data transmission module adapted to receive measurement data transmitted by the sensor module. The data reader module and the data transmission module each comprise a mechanical interface adapted to reversibly engage the sensor module mechanical interface, thereby alternatively generating a fixed spatial relationship between the sensor module and the data reader module or the sensor module and the data transmission module.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a test strip unit comprising a flexible carrier strip (34) that can be fast-forwarded using a strip drive (16), with a plurality of analytical test fields (32) applied to said carrier strip for exposure to bodily fluids in associated strip sections (42), respectively. According to the invention, each strip section (42) comprises a plurality of position marks (44) for different functional positions, said marks capable of being scanned by a strip sensor (20) and thereby individually identified by a measurement parameter.
Abstract:
The test strip device has a flexible carrier strip (34) that is fast-forwarded using a strip drive. The multiple analytical test fields (32) are applied to the carrier strip for exposure to bodily fluids in associated strip sections (42). Each strip section has multiple position marks (44) for different functional positions. The marks are scanned by a strip sensor (20) and individually identified by a measurement parameter. An independent claim is included for a test strip unit for handling test strip device.
