SELF-CONTAINED TEST UNIT FOR TESTING BODY FLUIDS

摘要

A self contained disposable test unit (10) for testing body fluid comprises a body member (14) and a support member (18). The support member (18) is moveable with respect to the body member (14) between a first position and a second position. The support member (18) includes a body part receiving surface (20) for receiving a patient's body part. A lancet (24) is carried by the body member (14) and includes a lancet tip (27) capable of piercing the skin of a patient to produce fluid flow. A test member (160) is capable of interacting with body fluid to aid in the determination of information about body fluid components. A capillary member (144) is capable of directing fluid flow to the test member. A pressure cup (120) is capable of exerting pressure on a body part to foster fluid flow out of a lanced site and into the capillary (130), and a calibration member (162) is provided for containing information for facilitating calibration of the test unit (10).
