A tape cassette for a medical handheld device. The inventive tape cassette includes a carrier tape with a plurality of functional elements which may take the form of test fields for analyzing a sample of a human or animal body fluid and/or a plurality of lancets. During use, the carrier tape slides past friction points. To reduce friction between the carrier tape and at least one of the friction points, the at least one friction point includes a surface made of a fluoropolymer. The tape cassette may have a housing that includes a sealed compartment with a tape exit opening wherein the friction point is disposed proximate the tape exit opening. A cover element may also be positioned to cover the tape exit opening. The cover element may also include a fluoropolymer material engageable with the carrier tape. A method of manufacturing such tape cassettes is also disclosed.
