PENETRATION SYSTEM, LANCET STOCKING SYSTEM, METHOD FOR PRODUCING SUCH A LANCET STOCKING SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR POSITION FUNCTIONAL ELEMENTS DISPOSED ON A CARRIER BAND

摘要

The invention relates to a penetration system comprising a carrier band (1) carrying a plurality of lancets (2), and a device housing (5), which has a transport device (6) for bringing the lancets (2) consecutively into a usage position by moving the carrier band (1) in a transport direction and a penetration drive (7) for accelerating a lancet (2) positioned in the usage position for a penetrating motion, and which comprises a housing opening (8) for application to a body part into which a lancet (2) is to be penetrated using a penetrating motion. A penetration system according to the invention is characterized by position marks (4) provided on the carrier band (1); a storage medium on which the distance values for the lancets (2) are stored, depending on the distance of a lancet (2) of the carrier band (1) from a position mark (4) associated therewith; a sensor (12) for detecting position marks (4) in a detection position through which the position marks (4) travel during a movement of the carrier band (1) caused by the transport device (6); and a control unit (13) connected to the sensor (12) for controlling the transport device (6), wherein for the positioning of a lancet (2) in the usage position said control unit (13) stops the transport device (6) as soon as the carrier band (1) has been moved by a positioning distance starting at a band position in which a position mark (4) has reached the detection position, the length of the positioning distance depending on the distance of the lancet (2) to be positioned from the detected position mark (4) and being determined by the control unit (13) by means of the distance value stored on the storage medium for the lancet (2) to be positioned. The invention further relates to a method for positioning functional elements (2, 3) disposed on a carrier band (1).
