Analysis device for determining an analyte in vivo in the body of a patient, having a measuring probe with a hollow needle ( ) which can pierce through the skin. Light is passed through the hollow needle ( ) and into the body via an optical fiber ( ) travelling in the hollow needle ( ). The light transported in the optical fiber ( ) is modified in the measuring probe ( ), the modification being characteristic of the presence of the analyte. A measurement and evaluation unit ( ) measures the change to extract information concerning the presence of the analyte in the body. The hollow needle ( ) is permeable, at least in a partial section of its length, serving as a measuring section ( ) which can be inserted into the skin so that interstitial liquid may penetrate through the hollow needle wall to a measuring section of the optical fiber extending in the hollow needle ( ) and the modification of the light characteristic of the presence of the analyte is effected through interaction with the interstitial liquid in the measuring section.

An output device digitally stores data on a data carrier. The output device includes a reading unit, a data converter unit, and an output unit, provided with data reconstruction elements. Data to be reproduced can be processed by control data components contained in a start block. The control data components can be stored in a control data storage unit connected to the data reconstruction elements by way of a start block detector unit. This enables fast reproduction of large amounts of data, particularly digitized audio data.
