Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rapid diagnostic apparatus which prevents its cover from opening, due to carelessness during evaluation of a test strip, so as not to be affected by disturbances. SOLUTION: The test strip 31 is evaluated in the inside of the rapid diagnostic apparatus. A housing aperture is formed on an apparatus housing which can be closed by a cover or a flap element. A body for locking 8 is attached to the cover or the flap element. The body for locking is made up as a spring element, having a clip section 17, and the clip section is placed at a position 24, whereby the spring element is locked, when the test strip is pushed into an aperture for pushing of the rapid diagnostic apparatus.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an analysis system and an analysis method for analyzing a liquid sample on an assay element. SOLUTION: The analysis system comprises equipment for evaluating an electric signal; a test element holder 23 for holding and positioning the assay element 6 at a measurement position; and at least one electrical contact element 4, used for generating electrical connection to the evaluation equipment for electrical contact to at least one electrical contact surface 16 of the assay element 6. In this case, at least one contact element 4 is arranged, so that it travels relative to a test element holder 23. Further, the analysis system has a means 24 of moving the electrical contact element onto the electrical contact surface 16 of the assay element 6 positioned at a measurement position in the test element holder 23.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide analyzer which can be locked with locking member so as not known to users by a lock function in such a method as inhibiting unwanted disassembly by housing section during assembly process after the completion of functional check, or a method by which disassembly of the system can be checked. SOLUTION: This analyzer 1 is provided with the locking member 11, which is functionally and exclusively utilized for locking the analyzer 1 to be attachable after final functional check of the analyzer. The locking member 11 is desirable to be included in the design of the housing section 2 so that its locking function can not be recognized. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
The invention relates to a test element analysis system (1) for analytical investigation of a sample, in particular a body fluid, comprising at least one test element (3) with one or more measuring zones (7), contact surfaces (11) located on the test element (3), in particular, electrodes or conductors, whereby the sample under investigation is applied to the measuring zone (7) to perform an analysis by determination of a parameter characteristic for the analysis, and an analytical device (2) with a test element retainer (5) for positioning the test element (3) in a measuring position and a measuring device for measuring the characteristic change, whereby the test element retainer (5) comprises contact elements (14) with contact surfaces (12) which permit an electrical contact between the contact surfaces (11) of the test element (3) and the contact surfaces (12) of the test element retainer (5), characterised in that one of said contact surfaces is provided with an electrically-conducting hard material surface (20). The invention relates particularly to the coating of a contact surface (12) of the contact connection on a test element analysis device with an electrically-conducting hard material.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus for analyzing a sample on a test element. Said apparatus comprises at least one electrically contacting component (123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132) for transmitting power, which is suitable for establishing electric contact to at least one other component. The electrically contacting component (123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132) is embodied as an injection-molded circuit support (MID).
Abstract:
