Hand-held analysis device for examining body fluids

摘要

The device has a piercing unit (3) movable between operating and resting positions by a transport device and comprising a lancet and alancet drive. An operating device (10a-10d) actuates unit`s functional mechanisms (11a-11d) e.g. clamping mechanism, to clamp a spring of the lancet drive, an adjusting mechanism to adjust a piercing depth of the lancet in a body part, and a stack moving mechanism to reinsert a lancet stack or a release mechanism to release the unit. The unit (3) is decoupled from the operating device in one of the positions and mechanically coupled with the operating device in the other position.
