Abstract:
The invention relates to analysis methods for diagnosing diseases on human and animal samples. Said invention also relates to an evaluation method for diagnosing the individual stages of a disease in such a way that it is possible to display the progression thereof. Said invention also makes it possible to identify diseases in an early manner and to carry out therapeutic controls. The inventive method consists in carrying out actually known multivariable evaluation methods for classifying samples. Nevertheless, the invention is characterised in that no sample is allocated to a certain class, but it is classified in a data record based on the interpolation between different classes.
Abstract:
Method for the selective determination of a light transport parameter, characteristic of the light scattering in a biological matrix (5), in particular for the purpose of non-invasive determination of the concentration of glucose in the biological matrix. The above includes a number of detection measurements in which light is injected into the biological sample as primary light and an intensity value for escaping secondary light measured in a detection location, which is found at various separations from the location of light injection for the number of detection measurements. The light transport parameter which is characteristic for the light scattering in the biological matrix is derived from the intensity values in an analytical step by means of an analytical algorithm. According to the invention, the scattering coefficient can be selectively determined, whereby the analytical algorithm comprises a step in which a value for change with time DELTA tI(r) describing the change with time of the intensity value is derived from at least two different intensity values from different times.

Abstract:
Method involves an opening to be produced on the skin, on the point of the hole, on the epidermis in the skin-opening step. A sample obtaining hole is created by means of a pricking element, wherein the skin opening is deepened by means of the pricking element and then the hole is produced. Thereby, a temporal distance of 1 msec to 1 sec is kept between skin-opening step and sample obtaining step. An independent claim is also included for hand held unit with drive to move pricking element and controller for movement control of element.
Abstract:
The pricking element (10): is withdrawn with uniform speed after the forward movement in a back pulling movement from the deepest pricking position into a back pulling position by smaller pricking depth; is withdrawn in the area of stratum corneums; and is moved backward during the collecting phase around 2-0.1 mm. The reception of the blood is controlled over the detection of the blood fluid contact, and a given collecting duration is awaited for the reception of the blood during the detection of the blood contact. The blood fluid contact is detected: at a renewed pricking in the point of reversal for the back pulling movement; in the back pulling position; in the area of the stratum corneums; by capacitive or inductive or resistive measuring parameters, capillary structure or a light conductor within the body part; over the pricking element and a contact element (30) standing in a unit with the body part; and over the pricking element by impedance measurement in relation to the skin. An error signal is generated in missing blood contact and the withdrawal of the blood is interrupted. The blood is received over the sting channel as a connection to a blood-giving zone of the body part. The duration of the back pulling phase is selected in the order of magnitude of the duration of the forward movement. The collecting phase is extended in relation to the back pulling phase around 10-10.000 times. The movement of the pricking element is controlled by time detection or position detection. An independent claim is included for device for removal of blood.
