An arrangement for producing a sample of body fluid from a wound opening created in a skin surface at a sampling site includes: a housing, the housing comprising a first opening; a skin interface member disposed in the first opening, the skin interface member comprising an inner member having a second opening, and an outer member at least partially surrounding the inner member and attached to the first opening; and at least one skin-penetration member configured and arranged to project within the second opening. Arrangements having alternatively constructed skin interface members are also described.

Body fluid sampling device-sampling site interface

An arrangement includes a housing, a plurality of sampling and analysis sites contained within the housing, each of the sampling and analysis sites having a skin-penetration member having a first end configured to pierce the skin, and an inner lumen in communication with the first end, an actuator operatively associated with the skin-penetration member, and an analyte quantification member in fluid communication with the inner lumen of the skin-penetration member. Integrated devices including such arrangements are also described.

Multi-site body fluid sampling and analysis cartridge

Body fluid sampling device&#x2014;sampling site interface

An integrated monitoring and body fluid sampling device constructed to permit digital as well as alternate-site body fluid sampling and analysis, the device comprising: a housing; at least one skin-penetration member; and a member constructed for the application of circumferential or vacuum pressure to an appendage; wherein the member is detachably or retractably connected to the housing in a manner such that the integrated monitoring and body fluid sampling device can perform digital or alternate-site body fluid sampling and analysis. Additional arrangements and techniques are also described.

Body fluid sampling device with pivotable catalyst member

Arrangements are provided including a fluid transport tube, or a needle, having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, and a lumen having an inner diameter. At least one fluid transport enhancing projection is disposed in the lumen and extends from the second end toward the first end. A discreet, wearable blood glucose monitor including such arrangements is also described.

Fluid sample transport devices and methods

The system () includes a catheter drive unit () and a catheter () extending therefrom movably mounted to a catheter drive sled (). The catheter drive unit rotates and translates the catheter core () within the catheter sheath (). The sled has a serrated, conical drive unit interface (), with a bag-piercing tip () mateable with a translator drive output () so that a sterile drape () enclosing the catheter drive unit is automatically pierced when the catheter drive unit is mounted to the sled. A control unit () is spaced apart from the catheter drive unit and provides power and commands to the catheter drive unit and receives information and data from the catheter drive unit. The rotator and translator drive motors () are operated from both the control unit and the catheter drive unit. Both the control unit and catheter drive unit have translation displacement displays ().
