Patent number: 10317310Abstract: A test system and a corresponding method for testing the seal of a glove which is installed in a port of an isolator, including a test disc which can be connected in a hermetically sealed fashion to the port. The glove and test disc define a sealed glove volume which can be placed under excess pressure. The test disc has a pressure-measuring device with a microprocessor and a memory for recording and storing a pressure profile in the glove volume and a data interface. The glove and port have identification elements which are read by a reading device of the test disc and information concerning the pressure profile along with the identities of the glove and port are transmitted wirelessly to an evaluation unit which estimates and records a residual period of use of the glove. A plurality of gloves in ports can be tested simultaneously.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2018Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Inventor: Michael Keil

Patent number: 10278631Abstract: Disclosed is a puncturing system for generating a puncture wound for obtaining a sample of a body fluid, comprising a press-on part to be pressed onto a body part in which a puncture wound is to be generated, a trigger, by the actuation of which a user can trigger a puncturing motion of a puncturing element after the press-on part is pressed on, and a testing facility for determining at least one test parameter on which a sample-obtaining probability depends. A securing facility is also provided that, in a locked state, locks the trigger such that no puncturing motion can be triggered, and, in a triggering state, releases the trigger such that a puncturing motion can be triggered by actuation thereof, whereby the securing facility is transitioned from the locked state to the triggering state by the testing facility when the test parameter determined by the testing facility meets defined minimum requirements.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: Roche Diabetes Care, Inc.Inventors: Hans List, Christian Hoerauf, Frank Deck, Thomas Weiss, Michael Keil, Guenther Schmelzeisen-Redeker, Heinrich Fruhstorfer, Hans-Peter Haar, Uwe Kraemer, Joachim Hoenes, Karl Miltner
