Cap Displacement Mechanism For Lancing Device And Multi-Lancet Cartridge

View page
US Patent:
7377904, May 27, 2008
Filed:
Apr 15, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/107984
Inventors:
William E. Conway - Smyrna GA, US
Christopher J. Ruf - Marietta GA, US
John C. Irwin - Woodstock GA, US
Stephen J. Flynn - Peachtree City GA, US
Avi M. Robbins - Longwood FL, US
Brian D. Vanhiel - Smyrna GA, US

Assignee:
Facet Technologies, LLC - Kennesaw GA
International Classification:
A61B 5/00
A61B 17/32
A61B 17/14
A61B 19/00
B65D 81/00

Abstract:
A medical lancing device including a replaceable multi-lancet cartridge. The lancing device includes an advancing mechanism that advances lancets within the cartridge into an active position, separates a protective cap from the active lancet, and energize a drive mechanism of the lancing device. A cap displacement mechanism moves the separated cap out of the travel path of the active lancet. In a first example embodiment, the cap displacement mechanism includes a cantilevered spring arm that displaces the detached cap of the active lancet. In a second example embodiment, the cap displacement mechanism includes a spring-biased cam-driven plunger that displaces the detached cap of the active lancet. Then an activation mechanism releases the energized active lancet to traverse the unobstructed lancing stroke path to pierce the subject's skin at a desired lancing site.

US Patent:
7381184, Jun 3, 2008
Filed:
Nov 5, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/703214
Inventors:
Jeffery V. Funderburk - Fremont CA, US
Duane O. Yamasaki - El Cerrito CA, US
Brian VanHiel - Marietta GA, US
Stephen J. Flynn - Peachtree City GA, US
Bradley D. Kelemen - Longmont CO, US
Assignee:
Abbott Diabetes Care Inc. - Alameda CA
International Classification:
A61B 5/00
A61B 17/32
A61B 17/34
A61M 31/00
US Classification:
600300, 600309, 600341, 604 57, 604 59, 606182, 606185
Abstract:
An analyte monitor includes a sensor, a sensor control unit, and a display unit. The sensor control unit typically has a housing adapted for placement on skin and is adapted to receive a portion of an electrochemical sensor. The sensor control unit also includes two or more conductive contacts disposed on the housing and configured for coupling to two or more contact pads on the sensor. A transmitter is disposed in the housing and coupled to the plurality of conductive contacts for transmitting data obtained using the sensor. The display unit has a receiver for receiving data transmitted by the transmitter of the sensor control unit and a display coupled to the receiver for displaying an indication of a level of an analyte, such as blood glucose. An inserter having a retractable introducer is provided for subcutaneously implanting the sensor in a predictable and reliable fashion.

Assignee:
Facet Technologies, LLC - Kennesaw GA
International Classification:
A61B 17/32
US Classification:
606182, 606181
Abstract:
A multi-use micro-sampling or lancing device () having an outer housing (), a lancet holder () that engages a lancet () and constrains the lancet along a controlled and predefined path of travel during the lancing stroke, and a drive mechanism with a pair of opposed, off axis torsion springs () working in tandem to drive and return the lancet holder through its lancing stroke.

B65D 81/00
US Classification:
600583, 600573, 606167, 606181
Abstract:
A medical lancing device including a replaceable multi-lancet cartridge. The lancing device includes a drive mechanism, an activation mechanism, and an advancing mechanism. The advancing mechanism includes a linear-pull slide that is moved in and out to operate an indexing ratchet mechanism, a cam-guided charger mechanism, and a cam-guided lancet cap displacement mechanism. The indexing ratchet mechanism sequentially advances the lancets in the cartridge to an active position. The cam-guided charger mechanism charges the drive mechanism and separates the cap from the active lancet. And the cam-guided cap displacement mechanism moves the separated cap from the lancing stroke path of the active lancet. The activation mechanism then releases the charged active lancet to traverse the unobstructed lancing stroke path to pierce the subject's skin at a desired lancing site.
