APPARATUS FOR SAMPLING A FLUID

摘要

A diabetes testing pack comprises a disposable unitary structure of plastics material. The pack has three main areas (A, B and C) where the different phases of a diabetes test can take place. Area (A) is where the skin is punctured by a needle (8) to draw blood. Area (B) is where a drop of blood is deposited on a reagent (14) and the resulting colour change can be compared with a colour chart to determine blood glucose concentration. Area (C) is where the reagent strip can be wiped on a hygenic pad (10). The pack can be folded away in a sterilised wrapping before use and folded away in a hygenic manner for disposal after use.
