Definitions

  • Hand-held device for removing blood or other body fluids
  • the invention relates to a portable hand-held device for generating a puncture wound, in particular for removing blood or other body fluids, comprising a lancet which can be moved with a lancet drive from a rest position into a puncturing position.
  • test elements For the qualitative and quantitative analysis of elaborate ⁇ liquids, especially blood, are widely used in test methods that work with test elements.
  • the test elements contain reagents. To carry out a reaction, the test element is brought into contact with the sample. The reaction of sample and reagent leads to a characteristic change of the test element, which is detected and evaluated by means of a suitable Meßein ⁇ direction.
  • test elements Numerous different types of test elements are known, which differ in terms of the measuring principle and the reagents used, as well as their structure.
  • colorimetric analysis systems are widespread. With them leads the reaction the sample with reagents contained in the test element to a color change, which can be measured visually or by means of a photometric measuring device.
  • electrochemical analysis systems have acquired great importance, in which the reaction of the samples with the reagents of the test element leads to an electrically measurable change (an electrical voltage or an electrical current), which is measured with a corresponding measuring electronics.
  • the lancets are used which are pricked into the corresponding body part.
  • hand tools are used which move a lancet with a lancet drive from a rest position into a puncturing position.
  • Portable analysis systems make it possible for medical laypersons to carry out independently simple analyzes of the blood or other body fluids. For example, there are analysis systems that diabetics can carry with them constantly and thus determine the blood sugar level several times a day. These portable analysis systems comprise a hand-held device with a lancet and a lanyard drive for taking blood, and an analysis handpiece with an analysis measuring device for examining the blood by, a puncture of the lancet won blood.
  • the handheld device for taking blood and the handheld analyzer can be designed as two different devices or integrated into a single device.
  • an analysis system is expected to be as easy to use as, for example, devices for determining blood glucose levels are often used by persons whose manual dexterity is limited due to illness or age. Also of great importance is a device that is as compact and slim as possible, so that patients are as little burden as possible when constantly bringing along the device or devices. Finally, the puncture process should be as painless as possible and a risk of infection by the lancet used should be excluded.
  • the object of the invention is to show a way how these requirements can be met even better in practice.
  • a portable hand-held device of the type mentioned at the outset in that it comprises a lancet sterilization device with which a lanyard can be sterilized without contact.
  • the lancet can be sterilized immediately before a puncture, so that a risk of infection can be largely excluded. Even in the case of hand-held devices which use disposable lanyards, that is to say use only a single lancet, there is a risk of infection in the prior art, since lancets are damaged by improper loading or when inserted into the hand-held device . Spores or other pathogens can come into contact.
  • a lancet can be sterilized immediately before a puncture procedure in a erfinchangesgemizaen hand device, even a multiple use of a lancet is possible. Multiple use of the lancet means a significant advantage over the prior Tech ⁇ nik.
  • a considerable part of the device volume is required for a lancet magazine for the positional deflection of disposable lancets.
  • Such a lancet magazine can be dispensed with in the case of a multiple use of a lancet, so that a much smaller and slender handpiece can be created.
  • a smaller and more compact design means a considerable relief.
  • lancets are a source of danger because they are sharp and can easily cause injury. Lancets used can be transmitted in the event of injury to HIV, hepatitis and other diseases and must therefore be disposed of expensively as hazardous substances. For multiple use of lancets This effort can be reduced considerably, since fewer lancets must be disposed of.
  • the lancet sterilization device of a handheld device according to the invention can also be designed differently. It is generally sufficient if only the area of the tip of the lancet which penetrates into the tissue and an immediately adjacent piece is sterilized.
  • a great advantage of the invention is that the lancet sterilization device operates without contact, ie has no parts that come into contact with the lancet during a sterilization process. If parts of the lancet sterilization device come into contact with the lancet, there is a risk of contamination of the lancet sterilization device, for example due to blood. It has therefore proved to be disadvantageous to sterilize a lancet, for example, by being stung by a sponge soaked with a disinfectant. In such a procedure, the lancet sterilization is not contact-free, since the lancet comes into contact with the sponge.
  • a first possibility for non-contact sterilization of a lancet is to generate an electrical plasma with which the lancet is acted upon.
  • gas discharge plasmas in particular under atmospheric pressure conditions, ie at normal pressure in ambient air, since they can be produced with relatively little effort. Details of the generation of such gas discharge plasmas are disclosed, for example, in US Pat. No. 6,147,452 and in the article "Mikrofigurediert Elektrodensysteme - Universelle Atmospheric pressure plasmas ", Physics No. 31, March 2001.
  • the electrode spacing is preferably less than 1 mm, particularly preferably less than 0.5 mm.
  • multiple arrangements of electrodes are preferred.
  • a plurality of microelectrodes may be applied at a suitable distance, for example 0.5 to 1 mm, on a substrate, for example made of aluminum oxide.
  • the electrodes are preferably provided with a plasma-chemically stable protective layer of preferably less than 10 ⁇ m in thickness.
  • surface properties of the lancet can also be changed at the same time and can be adapted specifically to the requirements of a puncture and subsequent transport of blood or another body fluid.
  • a surface can be deliberately rendered to a hydrophilic state, so that blood can be transported more quickly from the tip of the lancet to a test element or analysis measuring device. This is an important advantage, in particular, since hydrophilic surfaces generally have no long-term stability and lose their trydrophilic properties over a more or less short period of time. If the surface of a lancet is hydrophilized by plasma action only shortly before the puncturing process, then the advantages of hydrophilic surface properties can be utilized even during prolonged storage.
  • radical sites can be generated on the surface of the lancet, which in the air rapidly hydroxi-, hydroperoxide or other polar and thus liquid wetting funk ⁇ tional groups form, especially when the lancet is coated with a plastic.
  • a hand-held device according to the invention with a lancet sterilization device for generating a plasma is also particularly suitable for lancets which serve not only to produce a puncture wound, but at the same time also to take a blood sample.
  • lancets preferably have a test field for the analysis of a removed one
  • Such a test field may be provided with chemicals which serve for the quantitative investigation of the blood glucose content.
  • Such lancets are known, for example, from WO 03/009759 A1, the content of which with regard to the configuration of such lancets is made the subject of the present application by reference.

Is the sterilization done? by a plasma, the Kapil ⁇ larkanal can be hydrophilized at the same time, so that a sample can be better transported from the lancet tip to the test field.
  • the sterilization of a lancet can also be effected by radiation generated by the lancet sterilization device, in particular in the visible or ultraviolet frequency range.
  • the lancet sterilization device preferably comprises one or more light emitting diodes or laser diodes.
  • the smaller the wavelength of the radiation the greater the sterilization effect of radiation.

  • Precious metals and noble metal alloys, which do not react with ambient air, are particularly suitable as material for this glass filament, so that the filament can be operated in air. It is particularly advantageous to associate the incandescent filament so that it axially surrounds the lancet during sterilization.
