<p>An analyte test device that enables use of a very small sample of body fluid, such as blood analyzed for glucose level. The device comprises a capillary tube (2) on a test strip for (5) picking up the sample fluid and transferring it by capillary action to the test matrix on the test strip. The capillary tube enables the use of a predetermined volume of sample fluid and enables the patient to assure that the required volume of test fluid has been transferred into the test device. The device enables a diabetic to obtain a very small blood sample on any part of the body, without having to obtain a drop size sample on a finger tip. The device can measure a 3 νL blood sample size drawn from the skin surface by the tip of the capillary tube. The test result is provided by a meter adapted to read a chemical change of the test matrix.</p> |
