AN APPARATUS FOR ELICITING A BLOOD SAMPLE

摘要

The present application relates to an apparatus for eliciting a blood sample. The apparatus has a housing (203) having an aperture (105). A shaft (204) extends in the housing and is received through a hole (712) in a test member (700). A lancet protrudes radially from the test member. The hole is configured to allow the test member to translate relative to the shaft, in the presence of a force exerted on the test member by an actuator (500), from a retracted position to a skin penetrating position in which the lancet is displaced towards the aperture.
