Lancing devices are known in the medical health-care products industry for piercing the skin to produce blood for analysis. Typically, a drop of blood for this type of analysis is obtained by making a small incision in the fingertip, creating a small wound, which generates a small blood droplet on the surface of the skin.
Early methods of lancing included piercing or slicing the skin with a needle or razor. Current methods utilize lancing devices that contain a multitude of spring, cam and mass actuators to drive the lancet. These include cantilever springs, diaphragms, coil springs, as well as gravity plumbs used to drive the lancet. The device may be held against the skin and mechanically triggered to ballistically launch the lancet. Unfortunately, the pain associated with each lancing event using known technology discourages patients from testing. In addition to vibratory stimulation of the skin as the driver impacts the end of a launcher stop, known spring based devices have the possibility of harmonically oscillating against the patient tissue, causing multiple strikes due to recoil. This recoil and multiple strikes of the lancet against the patient is one major impediment to patient compliance with a structured glucose monitoring regime.
Another impediment to patient compliance is the lack of spontaneous blood flow generated by known lancing technology. In addition to the pain as discussed above, a patient may need more than one lancing event to obtain a blood sample since spontaneous blood generation is unreliable using known lancing technology. Thus the pain is multiplied by the number of tries it takes to successfully generate spontaneous blood flow. Different skin thickness may yield different results in terms of pain perception, blood yield and success rate of obtaining blood between different users of the lancing device. Known devices poorly account for these skin thickness variations.
A still further impediment to improved compliance with glucose monitoring are the many steps and hassle associated with each lancing event. Many diabetic patients that are insulin dependent may need to self-test for blood glucose levels five to six times daily. The large number of steps required in traditional methods of glucose testing, ranging from lancing, to milking of blood, applying blood to the test strip, and getting the measurements from the test strip, discourages many diabetic patients from testing their blood glucose levels as often as recommended. Older patients and those with deteriorating motor skills encounter difficulty loading lancets into launcher devices, transferring blood onto a test strip, or inserting thin test strips into slots on glucose measurement meters. Additionally, the wound channel left on the patient by known systems may also be of a size that discourages those who are active with their hands or who are worried about healing of those wound channels from testing their glucose levels.

The present invention provides a solution for body fluid sampling. Specifically, some embodiments of the present invention provides a penetrating member device for consistently creating a wound with spontaneous body fluid flow from a patient. The invention may be a multiple penetrating member device with an optional high density design. It may use penetrating members of smaller size than known penetrating members. The device may be used for multiple lancing events without having to remove a disposable from the device or for the user to handle sharps. The invention may provide improved sensing capabilities. At least some of these and other objectives described herein will be met by embodiments of the present invention.
It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the invention, as claimed. It should be noted that, as used in the specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a”, “an” and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to “a material” may include mixtures of materials, reference to “a chamber” may include multiple chambers, and the like. References cited herein are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety, except to the extent that they conflict with teachings explicitly set forth in this specification.
In this specification and in the claims which follow, reference will be made to a number of terms which shall be defined to have the following meanings:
“Optional” or “optionally” means that the subsequently described circumstance may or may not occur, so that the description includes instances where the circumstance occurs and instances where it does not. For example, if a device optionally contains a feature for analyzing a blood sample, this means that the analysis feature may or may not be present, and, thus, the description includes structures wherein a device possesses the analysis feature and structures wherein the analysis feature is not present.
“Analyte detecting member” refers to any use, singly or in combination, of chemical test reagents and methods, electrical test circuits and methods, physical test components and methods, optical test components and methods, and biological test reagents and methods to yield information about a blood sample. Such methods are well known in the art and may be based on teachings of, e.g. Tietz Textbook of Clinical Chemistry, 3d Ed., Sec. V, pp. 776-78 (Burtis & Ashwood, Eds., W.B. Saunders Company, Philadelphia, 1999); U.S. Pat. No. 5,997,817 to Chrismore et al. (Dec. 7, 1999); U.S. Pat. No. 5,059,394 to Phillips et al. (Oct. 22, 1991); U.S. Pat. No. 5,001,054 to Wagner et al. (Mar. 19, 1991); and U.S. Pat. No. 4,392,933 to Nakamura et al. (Jul. 12, 1983), the teachings of which are hereby incorporated by reference, as well as others. Analyte detecting member may include tests in the sample test chamber that test electrochemical properties of the blood, or they may include optical means for sensing optical properties of the blood (e.g. oxygen saturation level), or they may include biochemical reagents (e.g. antibodies) to sense properties (e.g. presence of antigens) of the blood. The analyte detecting member may comprise biosensing or reagent material that will react with an analyte in blood (e.g. glucose) or other body fluid so that an appropriate signal correlating with the presence of the analyte is generated and can be read by the reader apparatus. By way of example and not limitation, analyte detecting member may “associated with”, “mounted within”, or “coupled to” a chamber or other structure when the analyte detecting member participates in the function of providing an appropriate signal about the blood sample to the reader device. Analyte detecting member may also include nanowire analyte detecting members as described herein. Analyte detecting member may use potentiometric, coulometric, or other method useful for detection of analyte levels.
The present invention may be used with a variety of different penetrating member drivers. It is contemplated that these penetrating member drivers may be spring based, solenoid based, magnetic driver based, nanomuscle based, or based on any other mechanism useful in moving a penetrating member along a path into tissue. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited by the type of driver used with the penetrating member feed mechanism. One suitable penetrating member driver for use with the present invention is shown in
Referring to the embodiment of
As discussed above, tissue penetration devices which employ spring or cam driving methods have a symmetrical or nearly symmetrical actuation displacement and velocity profiles on the advancement and retraction of the penetrating member as shown in
In this embodiment, the ability to control velocity and depth of penetration may be achieved by use of a controllable force driver where feedback is an integral part of driver control. Such drivers can control either metal or polymeric penetrating members or any other type of tissue penetration element. The dynamic control of such a driver is illustrated in
After the lancing event, the processor 60 can allow the user to rank the results of the lancing event. The processor 60 stores these results and constructs a database 80 for the individual user. Using the database 79, the processor 60 calculates the profile traits such as degree of painlessness, success rate, and blood volume for various profiles 62 depending on user input information 64 to optimize the profile to the individual user for subsequent lancing cycles. These profile traits depend on the characteristic phases of penetrating member advancement and retraction. The processor 60 uses these calculations to optimize profiles 62 for each user. In addition to user input information 64, an internal clock allows storage in the database 79 of information such as the time of day to generate a time stamp for the lancing event and the time between lancing events to anticipate the user's diurnal needs. The database stores information and statistics for each user and each profile that particular user uses.
In addition to varying the profiles, the processor 60 can be used to calculate the appropriate penetrating member diameter and geometry suitable to realize the blood volume required by the user. For example, if the user requires about 1-5 microliter volume of blood, the processor 60 may select a 200 micron diameter penetrating member to achieve these results. For each class of lancet, both diameter and lancet tip geometry, is stored in the processor 60 to correspond with upper and lower limits of attainable blood volume based on the predetermined displacement and velocity profiles.
The lancing device is capable of prompting the user for information at the beginning and the end of the lancing event to more adequately suit the user. The goal is to either change to a different profile or modify an existing profile. Once the profile is set, the force driving the penetrating member is varied during advancement and retraction to follow the profile. The method of lancing using the lancing device comprises selecting a profile, lancing according to the selected profile, determining lancing profile traits for each characteristic phase of the lancing cycle, and optimizing profile traits for subsequent lancing events.

A magnetic member 102 is secured to the elongate coupler shaft 84 proximal of the drive coupler 85 on a distal portion 203 of the elongate coupler shaft 84. The magnetic member 102 is a substantially cylindrical piece of magnetic material having an axial lumen 204 extending the length of the magnetic member 102. The magnetic member 102 has an outer transverse dimension that allows the magnetic member 102 to slide easily within an axial lumen 105 of a low friction, possibly lubricious, polymer guide tube 105′ disposed within the driver coil pack 88. The magnetic member 102 may have an outer transverse dimension of about 1.0 to about 5.0 mm, specifically, about 2.3 to about 2.5 mm. The magnetic member 102 may have a length of about 3.0 to about 5.0 mm, specifically, about 4.7 to about 4.9 mm. The magnetic member 102 can be made from a variety of magnetic materials including ferrous metals such as ferrous steel, iron, ferrite, or the like. The magnetic member 102 may be secured to the distal portion 203 of the elongate coupler shaft 84 by a variety of methods including adhesive or epoxy bonding, welding, crimping or any other suitable method.
Proximal of the magnetic member 102, an optical encoder flag 206 is secured to the elongate coupler shaft 84. The optical encoder flag 206 is configured to move within a slot 107 in the position sensor 91. The slot 107 of the position sensor 91 is formed between a first body portion 108 and a second body portion 109 of the position sensor 91. The slot 107 may have separation width of about 1.5 to about 2.0 mm. The optical encoder flag 206 can have a length of about 14 to about 18 mm, a width of about 3 to about 5 mm and a thickness of about 0.04 to about 0.06 mm.
The optical encoder flag 206 interacts with various optical beams generated by LEDs disposed on or in the position sensor body portions 108 and 109 in a predetermined manner. The interaction of the optical beams generated by the LEDs of the position sensor 91 generates a signal that indicates the longitudinal position of the optical flag 206 relative to the position sensor 91 with a substantially high degree of resolution. The resolution of the position sensor 91 may be about 200 to about 400 cycles per inch, specifically, about 350 to about 370 cycles per inch. The position sensor 91 may have a speed response time (position/time resolution) of 0 to about 120,000 Hz, where one dark and light stripe of the flag constitutes one Hertz, or cycle per second. The position of the optical encoder flag 206 relative to the magnetic member 102, driver coil pack 88 and position sensor 91 is such that the optical encoder 91 can provide precise positional information about the penetrating member 83 over the entire length of the penetrating member's power stroke.
An optical encoder that is suitable for the position sensor 91 is a linear optical incremental encoder, model HEDS 9200, manufactured by Agilent Technologies. The model HEDS 9200 may have a length of about 20 to about 30 mm, a width of about 8 to about 12 mm, and a height of about 9 to about 11 mm. Although the position sensor 91 illustrated is a linear optical incremental encoder, other suitable position sensor embodiments could be used, provided they posses the requisite positional resolution and time response. The HEDS 9200 is a two channel device where the channels are 90 degrees out of phase with each other. This results in a resolution of four times the basic cycle of the flag. These quadrature outputs make it possible for the processor to determine the direction of penetrating member travel. Other suitable position sensors include capacitive encoders, analog reflective sensors, such as the reflective position sensor discussed above, and the like.
A coupler shaft guide 111 is disposed towards the proximal end 81 of the lancing device 80. The guide 111 has a guide lumen 112 disposed in the guide 111 to slidingly accept the proximal portion 92 of the elongate coupler shaft 84. The guide 111 keeps the elongate coupler shaft 84 centered horizontally and vertically in the slot 102 of the optical encoder 91.
The driver coil pack 88, position sensor 91 and coupler shaft guide 111 are all secured to a base 113. The base 113 is longitudinally coextensive with the driver coil pack 88, position sensor 91 and coupler shaft guide 111. The base 113 can take the form of a rectangular piece of metal or polymer, or may be a more elaborate housing with recesses, which are configured to accept the various components of the lancing device 80.
As discussed above, the magnetic member 102 is configured to slide within an axial lumen 105 of the driver coil pack 88. The driver coil pack 88 includes a most distal first coil 114, a second coil 115, which is axially disposed between the first coil 114 and a third coil 116, and a proximal-most fourth coil 117. Each of the first coil 114, second coil 115, third coil 116 and fourth coil 117 has an axial lumen. The axial lumens of the first through fourth coils are configured to be coaxial with the axial lumens of the other coils and together form the axial lumen 105 of the driver coil pack 88 as a whole. Axially adjacent each of the coils 114-117 is a magnetic disk or washer 118 that augments completion of the magnetic circuit of the coils 114-117 during a lancing cycle of the device 80. The magnetic washers 118 of the embodiment of
Wrapping or winding an elongate electrical conductor 121 about an axial lumen until a sufficient number of windings have been achieved forms the coils 114-117. The elongate electrical conductor 121 is generally an insulated solid copper wire with a small outer transverse dimension of about 0.06 mm to about 0.88 mm, specifically, about 0.3 mm to about 0.5 mm. In one embodiment, 32 gauge copper wire is used for the coils 114-117. The number of windings for each of the coils 114-117 of the driver pack 88 may vary with the size of the coil, but for some embodiments each coil 114-117 may have about 30 to about 80 turns, specifically, about 50 to about 60 turns. Each coil 114-117 can have an axial length of about 1.0 to about 3.0 mm, specifically, about 1.8 to about 2.0 mm. Each coil 114-117 can have an outer transverse dimension or diameter of about 4.0, to about 2.0 mm, specifically, about 9.0 to about 12.0 mm. The axial lumen 105 can have a transverse dimension of about 1.0 to about 3.0 mm.
It may be advantageous in some driver coil 88 embodiments to replace one or more of the coils with permanent magnets, which produce a magnetic field similar to that of the coils when the coils are activated. In particular, it may be desirable in some embodiments to replace the second coil 115, the third coil 116 or both with permanent magnets. In addition, it may be advantageous to position a permanent magnet at or near the proximal end of the coil driver pack in order to provide fixed magnet zeroing function for the magnetic member (Adams magnetic Products 23A0002 flexible magnet material (800) 747-7543).
A permanent bar magnet 119 disposed on the proximal end of the driver coil pack 88. As shown in
Having a fixed zero or start point for the elongate coupler shaft 84 and penetrating member 83 may be useful to properly controlling the depth of penetration of the penetrating member 83 as well as other lancing parameters. This can be because some methods of depth penetration control for a controllable driver measure the acceleration and displacement of the elongate coupler shaft 84 and penetrating member 83 from a known start position. If the distance of the penetrating member tip 96 from the target tissue is known, acceleration and displacement of the penetrating member is known and the start position of the penetrating member is know, the time and position of tissue contact and depth of penetration can be determined by the processor 93.
Any number of configurations for a magnetic bar 119 can be used for the purposes discussed above. In particular, a second permanent bar magnet (not shown) could be added to the proximal end of the driver coil pack 88 with the magnetic fields of the two bar magnets configured to complement each other. In addition, a disc magnet could be used as illustrated in
An inner lumen of the polymer non-magnetic disc can be configured to allow the magnetic member 102 to pass axially there through while an inner lumen of the disc magnet can be configured to allow the elongate coupler shaft 84 to pass through but not large enough for the magnetic member 102 to pass through. This results in the magnetic member 102 being attracted to the disc magnet and coming to rest with the proximal surface of the magnetic member 102 against a distal surface of the disc magnet. This arrangement provides for a positive and repeatable stop for the magnetic member, and hence the penetrating member.
Typically, when the electrical current in the coils 114-117 of the driver coil pack 88 is off, a magnetic member 102 made of soft iron is attracted to the bar magnet 119 or the disc magnet. The magnetic field of the driver coil pack 88 and the bar magnet 119 or the disc magnet, or any other suitable magnet, can be configured such that when the electrical current in the coils 114-117 is turned on, the leakage magnetic field from the coils 114-117 has the same polarity as the bar magnet 119 or the disc magnet. This results in a magnetic force that repels the magnetic member 102 from the bar magnet 119 or disc magnet and attracts the magnetic member 102 to the activated coils 114-117. For this configuration, the bar magnet 119 or disc magnet thus act to facilitate acceleration of the magnetic member 102 as opposed to working against the acceleration.
Electrical conductors 122 couple the driver coil pack 88 with the processor 93 which can be configured or programmed to control the current flow in the coils 114-117 of the driver coil pack 88 based on position feedback from the position sensor 91, which is coupled to the processor 93 by electrical conductors 94. A power source 125 is electrically coupled to the processor 93 and provides electrical power to operate the processor 93 and power the coil driver pack 88. The power source 125 may be one or more batteries that provide direct current power to the 93 processor.
Referring to
In the first operation, represented by the flow diagram box numbered 245 in
In the initialization operation, the processor 93 also causes the penetrating member to assume an initial stationary position. When in the initial stationary position, the penetrating member 83 is typically fully retracted such that the magnetic member 102 is positioned substantially adjacent the fourth coil 117 of the driver coil pack 88, shown in
In the next operation, represented by the flow diagram box numbered 247, the processor 93 energizes one or more of the coils in the coil pack 88. This should cause the penetrating member 83 to begin to move (i.e., achieve a non-zero speed) toward the skin target 133. The processor 93 then determines whether or not the penetrating member is indeed moving. The processor 93 can determine whether the penetrating member 83 is moving by monitoring the position of the penetrating member 83 to determine whether the position changes over time. The processor 93 can monitor the position of the penetrating member 83 by keeping track of the position of the optical encoder flag 106 secured to the elongate coupler shaft 84 wherein the encoder 91 produces a signal coupled to the processor 93 that indicates the spatial position of the penetrating member 83.
If the processor 93 determines (via timeout without motion events) that the penetrating member 83 is not moving (a “No” result from the decision box), then the process proceeds to the operation, where the processor deems that an error condition is present. This means that some error in the system is causing the penetrating member 83 not to move. The error may be mechanical, electrical, or software related. For example, the penetrating member 83 may be stuck in the stationary position because something is impeding its movement.
If the processor 93 determines that the penetrating member 83 is indeed moving (a “Yes” result from the decision box numbered 249), then the process proceeds to the operation represented by the flow diagram box numbered 257. In this operation, the processor 93 causes the penetrating member 83 to continue to accelerate and launch toward the skin target 133, as indicated by the arrow 135 in
During this operation, the processor 93 periodically or continually monitors the position and/or velocity of the penetrating member 83. In keeping track of the velocity and position of the penetrating member 83 as the penetrating member 83 moves towards the patient's skin 133 or other tissue, the processor 93 also monitors and adjusts the electrical current to the coils 114-117. In some embodiments, the processor 93 applies current to an appropriate coil 114-117 such that the penetrating member 83 continues to move according to a desired direction and acceleration. In the instant case, the processor 93 applies current to the appropriate coil 114-117 that will cause the penetrating member 83 to continue to move in the direction of the patient's skin 133 or other tissue to be penetrated.
The processor 93 may successively transition the current between coils 114-117 so that as the magnetic member 102 moves past a particular coil 114-117, the processor 93 then shuts off current to that coil 114-117 and then applies current to another coil 114-117 that will attract the magnetic member 102 and cause the magnetic member 102 to continue to move in the desired direction. In transitioning current between the coils 114-117, the processor 93 can take into account various factors, including the speed of the penetrating member 83, the position of the penetrating member 83 relative to the coils 114-117, the number of coils 114-117, and the level of current to be applied to the coils 114-117 to achieve a desired speed or acceleration.
In the next operation, the processor 93 determines whether the cutting or distal end tip 96 of the penetrating member 83 has contacted the patient's skin 133, as shown in
In one embodiment, the processor 93 determines that the skin has been contacted when the end tip 96 of the penetrating member 83 has moved a predetermined distance with respect to its initial position. If the distance from the tip 261 of the penetrating member 83 to the target tissue 133 is known prior to initiation of penetrating member 83 movement, the initial position of the penetrating member 83 is fixed and known, and the movement and position of the penetrating member 83 can be accurately measured during a lancing cycle, then the position and time of penetrating member contact can be determined.
This method requires an accurate measurement of the distance between the penetrating member tip 96 and the patient's skin 133 when the penetrating member 83 is in the zero time or initial position. This can be accomplished in a number of ways. One way is to control all of the mechanical parameters that influence the distance from the penetrating member tip 96 to the patient's tissue or a surface of the lancing device 80 that will contact the patient's skin 133. This could include the start position of the magnetic member 102, magnetic path tolerance, magnetic member 102 dimensions, driver coil pack 88 location within the lancing device 80 as a whole, length of the elongate coupling shaft 84, placement of the magnetic member 102 on the elongate coupling shaft 84, length of the penetrating member 83 etc.
If all these parameters, as well as others can be suitably controlled in manufacturing with a tolerance stack-up that is acceptable, then the distance from the penetrating member tip 96 to the target tissue 133 can be determined at the time of manufacture of the lancing device 80. The distance could then be programmed into the memory of the processor 93. If an adjustable feature is added to the lancing device 80, such as an adjustable length elongate coupling shaft 84, this can accommodate variations in all of the parameters noted above, except length of the penetrating member 83. An electronic alternative to this mechanical approach would be to calibrate a stored memory contact point into the memory of the processor 93 during manufacture based on the mechanical parameters described above.
In another embodiment, moving the penetrating member tip 96 to the target tissue 133 very slowly and gently touching the skin 133 prior to actuation can accomplish the distance from the penetrating member tip 96 to the tissue 133. The position sensor can accurately measure the distance from the initialization point to the point of contact, where the resistance to advancement of the penetrating member 83 stops the penetrating member movement. The penetrating member 83 is then retracted to the initialization point having measured the distance to the target tissue 133 without creating any discomfort to the user.
In another embodiment, the processor 93 may use software to determine whether the penetrating member 83 has made contact with the patient's skin 133 by measuring for a sudden reduction in velocity of the penetrating member 83 due to friction or resistance imposed on the penetrating member 83 by the patient's skin 133. The optical encoder 91 measures displacement of the penetrating member 83. The position output data provides input to the interrupt input of the processor 93. The processor 93 also has a timer capable of measuring the time between interrupts. The distance between interrupts is known for the optical encoder 91, so the velocity of the penetrating member 83 can be calculated by dividing the distance between interrupts by the time between the interrupts.
This method requires that velocity losses to the penetrating member 83 and elongate coupler 84 assembly due to friction are known to an acceptable level so that these velocity losses and resulting deceleration can be accounted for when establishing a deceleration threshold above which contact between penetrating member tip 96 and target tissue 133 will be presumed. This same concept can be implemented in many ways. For example, rather than monitoring the velocity of the penetrating member 83, if the processor 93 is controlling the penetrating member driver in order to maintain a fixed velocity, the power to the driver 88 could be monitored. If an amount of power above a predetermined threshold is required in order to maintain a constant velocity, then contact between the tip of the penetrating member 96 and the skin 133 could be presumed.
In yet another embodiment, the processor 93 determines skin 133 contact by the penetrating member 83 by detection of an acoustic signal produced by the tip 96 of the penetrating member 83 as it strikes the patient's skin 133. Detection of the acoustic signal can be measured by an acoustic detector 136 placed in contact with the patient's skin 133 adjacent a penetrating member penetration site 137, as shown in
If the penetrating member 83 has not contacted the target skin 133, then the process proceeds to a timeout operation, as represented in
If the timeout period elapses without the penetrating member 83 contacting the skin, then it is deemed that the penetrating member 83 will not contact the skin and the process proceeds to a withdraw phase, where the penetrating member is withdrawn away from the skin 133, as discussed more fully below. The penetrating member 83 may not have contacted the target skin 133 for a variety of reasons, such as if the patient removed the skin 133 from the lancing device or if something obstructed the penetrating member 83 prior to it contacting the skin.
The processor 93 may also proceed to the withdraw phase prior to skin contact for other reasons. For example, at some point after initiation of movement of the penetrating member 83, the processor 93 may determine that the forward acceleration of the penetrating member 83 towards the patient's skin 133 should be stopped or that current to all coils 114-117 should be shut down. This can occur, for example, if it is determined that the penetrating member 83 has achieved sufficient forward velocity, but has not yet contacted the skin 133. In one embodiment, the average penetration velocity of the penetrating member 83 from the point of contact with the skin to the point of maximum penetration may be about 2.0 to about 10.0 m/s, specifically, about 3.8 to about 4.2 m/s. In another embodiment, the average penetration velocity of the penetrating member may be from about 2 to about 8 meters per second, specifically, about 2 to about 4 m/s.
The processor 93 can also proceed to the withdraw phase if it is determined that the penetrating member 83 has fully extended to the end of the power stroke of the operation cycle of lancing procedure. In other words, the process may proceed to withdraw phase when an axial center 141 of the magnetic member 102 has moved distal of an axial center 142 of the first coil 114 as show in
With reference again to
As the velocity of the penetrating member 83 is maintained after contact with the skin 133, the distal tip 96 of the penetrating member 83 will first begin to depress or tent the contacted skin 137 and the skin 133 adjacent the penetrating member 83 to form a tented portion 243 as shown in
In the next operation, represented by the decision box numbered 171 in
Penetration measurement can be carried out by a variety of methods that are not dependent on measurement of tenting of the patient's skin. In one embodiment, the penetration depth of the penetrating member 83 in the patient's skin 133 is measured by monitoring the amount of capacitance between the penetrating member 83 and the patient's skin 133. In this embodiment, a circuit includes the penetrating member 83, the patient's finger 134, the processor 93 and electrical conductors connecting these elements. As the penetrating member 83 penetrates the patient's skin 133, the greater the amount of penetration, the greater the surface contact area between the penetrating member 83 and the patient's skin 133. As the contact area increases, so does the capacitance between the skin 133 and the penetrating member 83. The increased capacitance can be easily measured by the processor 93 using methods known in the art and penetration depth can then be correlated to the amount of capacitance. The same method can be used by measuring the electrical resistance between the penetrating member 83 and the patient's skin.
If the brake depth has not yet been reached, then a “No” results from the decision box 171 and the process proceeds to the timeout operation represented by the flow diagram box numbered 173. In the timeout operation, the processor 93 waits a predetermined time period. If the timeout period has not yet elapsed (a “No” outcome from the decision box 173), then the processor continues to monitor whether the brake depth has been reached. If the timeout period elapses without the penetrating member 83 achieving the brake depth (a “Yes” output from the decision box 173), then the processor 93 deems that the penetrating member 83 will not reach the brake depth and the process proceeds to the withdraw phase, which is discussed more fully below. This may occur, for example, if the penetrating member 83 is stuck at a certain depth.
With reference again to the decision box numbered 171 in
In the next operation, the process proceeds to the withdraw phase, as represented by the flow diagram box numbered 177. The withdraw phase begins with the operation represented by the flow diagram box numbered 178 in
It is at this stage of the lancing cycle that a software method can be used to measure the amount of tenting of the patient's skin 133 and thus determine the skin 133 characteristics such as elasticity, hydration and others. Referring to

A sampling site 215 is disposed at the distal end 216 of the sampling module 209 disposed about a penetrating member exit port 217. The distal end 216 of the sampling module 209 is exposed in a module window 218, which is an opening in a cartridge cover 221 of the sampling module cartridge 205. This allows the distal end 216 of the sampling module 209 loaded for use to be exposed to avoid contamination of the cartridge cover 221 with blood from the lancing process.
A reader module 222 is disposed over a distal portion of the sampling module 209 that is loaded in the drive coupler 213 for use and has two contact brushes 224 that are configured to align and make electrical contact with analyte detecting member contacts 225 of the sampling module 209 as shown in

The sampling cartridge body 247 may also rotate about the pivot shaft 259. In order to achieve precise relative motion between the penetrating member cartridge body 246 and the sampling cartridge body 247, one or both of the cartridge bodies 246 and 247 may be rotatable about the pivot shaft 259, however, it is not necessary for both to be rotatable about the pivot shaft 259, that is, one of the cartridge bodies 246 and 247 may be secured, permanently or removably, to the pivot shaft 259.
The sampling cartridge body 247 includes a base 261 and a cover sheet 262 that covers a proximal surface 263 of the base forming a fluid tight seal. Each sampling module portion 248 of the sampling cartridge body 247, such as the sampling module portion 248, has a sample reservoir 264 and a penetrating member channel 253. The sample reservoir 264 has a vent 965 at an outward radial end that allows the sample reservoir 264 to readily fill with a fluid sample. The sample reservoir 264 is in fluid communication with the respective penetrating member channel 253 which extends substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis 249 of the sampling cartridge body 247.

In a still further embodiment, penetrating member 312 may be moved and positioned to be in engagement with penetrating member driver 316. Penetrating member 312 is in a sterile environment, and prior to launch, the sterilizing covering, which can be a seal is removed.

A number of different preferences, options, embodiment, and features have been given above, and following any one of these may results in an embodiment of this invention that is more presently preferred than a embodiment in which that particular preference is not followed. These preferences, options, embodiment, and features may be generally independent, and additive; and following more than one of these preferences may result in a more presently preferred embodiment than one in which fewer of the preferences are followed.
While the invention has been described and illustrated with reference to certain particular embodiments thereof, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various adaptations, changes, modifications, substitutions, deletions, or additions of procedures and protocols may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Any of the embodiments of the invention may be modified to include any of the features described above or feature incorporated by reference herein. For example, the cartridge of
With any of the above embodiments, the location of the penetrating member drive device may be varied, relative to the penetrating members or the cartridge. With any of the above embodiments, the penetrating member tips may be uncovered during actuation (i.e. penetrating members do not pierce the penetrating member enclosure or protective foil during launch). With any of the above embodiments, the penetrating members may be a bare penetrating member during launch. With any of the above embodiments, the penetrating members may be bare penetrating members prior to launch as this may allow for significantly tighter densities of penetrating members. In some embodiments, the penetrating members may be bent, curved, textured, shaped, or otherwise treated at a proximal end or area to facilitate handling by an actuator. The penetrating member may be configured to have a notch or groove to facilitate coupling to a gripper or coupler. The notch or groove may be formed along an elongate portion of the penetrating member. The coupler may be designed to create a frictional only type grip on the penetrating member.
With any of the above embodiments, any open cavity housing the penetrating may be on the bottom or the top of the cartridge, with the gripper on the other side. In some embodiments, sensors may be printed on the top, bottom, or side of the cavities. The front end of the cartridge maybe in contact with a user during lancing. The same driver may be used for advancing and retraction of the penetrating member. The penetrating member may have a diameters and length suitable for obtaining the blood volumes described herein. The penetrating member driver may also be in substantially the same plane as the cartridge. The driver may use a through hole or other opening to engage a proximal end of a penetrating member to actuate the penetrating member along a path into and out of the tissue.
Any of the features described in this application or any reference disclosed herein may be adapted for use with any embodiment of the present invention. For example, the devices of the present invention may also be combined for use with injection penetrating members or needles as described in commonly assigned, copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/127,395 filed Apr. 19, 2002. A sensor to detect the presence of foil may also be included in the lancing apparatus. For example, if a cavity has been used before, the foil or sterility barrier will be punched. The sensor can detect if the cavity is fresh or not based on the status of the barrier. It should be understood that in optional embodiments, the sterility barrier may be designed to pierce a sterility barrier of thickness that does not dull a tip of the penetrating member. The lancing apparatus may also use improved drive mechanisms. For example, a solenoid force generator may be improved to try to increase the amount of force the solenoid can generate for a given current. A solenoid for use with the present invention may have five coils and in the present embodiment the slug is roughly the size of two coils. One change is to increase the thickness of the outer metal shell or windings surround the coils. By increasing the thickness, the flux will also be increased. The slug may be split; two smaller slugs may also be used and offset by ½ of a coil pitch. This allows more slugs to be approaching a coil where it could be accelerated. This creates more events where a slug is approaching a coil, creating a more efficient system.
In another optional alternative embodiment, a gripper in the inner end of the protective cavity may hold the penetrating member during shipment and after use, eliminating the feature of using the foil, protective end, or other part to retain the used penetrating member. Some other advantages of the disclosed embodiments and features of additional embodiments include: same mechanism for transferring the used penetrating members to a storage area; a high number of penetrating members such as 25, 50, 75, 100, 500, or more penetrating members may be put on a disk or cartridge; molded body about a penetrating member becomes unnecessary; manufacturing of multiple penetrating member devices is simplified through the use of cartridges; handling is possible of bare rods metal wires, without any additional structural features, to actuate them into tissue; maintaining extreme (better than 50 micron-lateral- and better than 20 micron vertical) precision in guiding; and storage system for new and used penetrating members, with individual cavities/slots is provided. The housing of the lancing device may also be sized to be ergonomically pleasing. In one embodiment, the device has a width of about 56 mm, a length of about 105 mm and a thickness of about 15 mm. Additionally, some embodiments of the present invention may be used with non-electrical force generators or drive mechanism. For example, the punch device and methods for releasing the penetrating members from sterile enclosures could be adapted for use with spring based launchers. The gripper using a frictional coupling may also be adapted for use with other drive technologies.
Still further optional features may be included with the present invention. For example, with any of the above embodiments, the location of the penetrating member drive device may be varied, relative to the penetrating members or the cartridge. With any of the above embodiments, the penetrating member tips may be uncovered during actuation (i.e. penetrating members do not pierce the penetrating member enclosure or protective foil during launch). The penetrating members may be a bare penetrating member during launch. The same driver may be used for advancing and retraction of the penetrating member. Different analyte detecting members detecting different ranges of glucose concentration, different analytes, or the like may be combined for use with each penetrating member. Non-potentiometric measurement techniques may also be used for analyte detection. For example, direct electron transfer of glucose oxidase molecules adsorbed onto carbon nanotube powder microelectrode may be used to measure glucose levels. In all methods, nanoscopic wire growth can be carried out via chemical vapor deposition (CVD). In all of the embodiments of the invention, preferred nanoscopic wires may be nanotubes. Any method useful for depositing a glucose oxidase or other analyte detection material on a nanowire or nanotube may be used with the present invention. Expected variations or differences in the results are contemplated in accordance with the objects and practices of the present invention. It is intended, therefore, that the invention be defined by the scope of the claims which follow and that such claims be interpreted as broadly as is reasonable.
