Protective coverings are provided for hand-held medical devices that have a measuring port for a disposable analytical test element. The coverings also include a sleeve having a reception opening and can be slipped over the devices to at least partially enclose the devices in a usable protected state. The coverings further include a test element adapter formed as an integral part of the sleeve to receive the test element in alignment with a measuring port, where the sleeve includes the test element adapter and is arranged as a sealing barrier between the test element and the device port in a protected state.

A method is provided for controlling a hand-held analysis device for analyzing a body fluid in which in each case at least one test means for single use is automatically provided in consecutive measuring cycles by means of a control device where each measuring cycle in a measuring mode of the control device is triggered by a start actuation. According to the invention it is proposed that a defined control intervention puts the control device into a maintenance mode in which the automatic provision of a test means is prevented.
