ANALYTICAL SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING AN ANALYTE IN A BODY FLUID AND DISPOSABLE INTEGRATED SAMPLE COLLECTION AND ANALYTICAL ELEMENT

摘要

The present invention relates to an analysis system for determining an analyte in a body fluid, which sample receiving that body fluid sample is passed to carry out the lancing element (7) and analyzed with a cutting edge (15) for lancing the skin of a body part It includes a flat test strip 6 having a zone (10). The sample receiving zone 10 of the test strip (6) is positioned in one flat surface 9 of the test strip to form a sample contact surface 11. A lancing element (7) is movable and located in parallel to the test strip (6) on a movement path during at least a portion of the lancing path for the test strip (6). The lancing element 7 is located adjacent the sample contact surface 11 of the test strip (6). This includes a capillary channel 17 having a sample outlet 24 with a sample inlet 23 and the body fluids that can enter into the body fluids after lancing the capillary channel (17) can emerge from the capillary channel 17. Movement of the lancing element (7) comprises a sample delivery position, the body fluid is a capillary channel 17 from the sample outlet 24, a sample outlet 24 to be delivered to the sample receiving zone 10 through a test strip 6 It is adjacent to the sample receiving zone 10.
