Patent number: 10085681Abstract: A depth-control mechanism for selectively-adjusting a lancing stroke depth of a lancet carrier. The depth-control mechanism includes a positioning tab that is configured to be repositioned along an axis that is orthogonal to the lancing stroke axis of the lancet carrier. The depth-adjustment mechanism also includes a tether that is pivotally coupled between the positioning tab and the lancet carrier. The positioning tab is configured to manipulate a pivot axis of the tether to adjust the lancing stroke length of the lancet carrier.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2013Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: FACET TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventor: John A. Trissel

Patent number: 8652159Abstract: A lancet for use with a lancing device, the lancet having a body with releasable engagement features for engagement with a cooperating portion of a lancing device, a sharp needle, and a removable endcap. A coupling portion of the lancet has a non-circular profile. The endcap includes a receptacle for covering the sharp lancet tip after use, and a sheath portion with relief openings to reduce bending of the needle during manufacture or during removal of the endcap.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2010Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignee: Facet Technologies, LLCInventors: John Trissel, Lauren R. Pusey, Christopher J. Ruf

Publication number: 20130267978Abstract: A lancing device for completing a lancing stroke. The lancing device includes a lancet carrier with a distal end and a proximal end. The lancing device also includes a drive mechanism to drive the lancet carrier through the lancing stroke. The lancing device also includes a charge mechanism to charge the drive mechanism. The charge mechanism is configured to apply a charging force onto the drive mechanism by pushing the charge mechanism along a common direction with the lancing stroke.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 9, 2013Publication date: October 10, 2013Applicant: FACET TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventor: John A.

Patent number: 7678127Abstract: A lancing device has a carousel of lancets removably received in a housing. In exemplary embodiments, the lancing device includes a sterility cap positioning mechanism that removes sterility caps from the lancets for actuation and afterwards replaces the sterility caps onto the lancets. Preferably, the lancing device includes a lancet advancing mechanism that automatically advances sequential lancets of the lancet carousel for charging and actuating, and a drive mechanism for actuating the lancets. Also provided are replacement lancet carousels, which include a cylindrical carrier with axial openings and a plurality of the lancets axially oriented in the openings.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2004Date of Patent: March 16, 2010Assignee: Facet Technologies, LLCInventors: John Trissel, Richard W.
