Abstract: A safety lancet for taking blood has a hollow barrel with two first slots and two second slots and a detachable needle hub. The needle hub is mounted in the barrel and has a moving base with a needle near a proximal end and a positioning base near a distal end. The positioning base detachably connects to the moving base and has a push button and two stopping resilient elements protruding symmetrically from an outer surface of the positioning base and protruding in the first slots before the push button being pushed and protruding in the second slots after the push button being pushed, so the position base can not move backward. Therefore, medical personnel are able to distinguish easily if the lancet has been used or not.

Abstract: A bio reader includes a casing defined therein a receiving space to receive therein a circuit board, a monitor electrically connected to the circuit board and a strip connector electrically connected to the circuit board for receiving therein a strip. The strip connector has a base mounted in the casing, a push movably connected to the base and having a ridge formed thereon for abutment of a strip on top of the push and an extension extending into the base and a retracting finger securely connected to the push and adapted to be slidably mounted on a side of the casing such that movement of the retracting finger is able to drive the push to move such that the strip on top of the push is also moved.

Abstract: A safety lancet device has a casing, a driver assembly and a needle hub with a needle. The driver assembly and the needle hub are mounted within the casing. The driver assembly comprises a container, a pressing unit, a controller, a pushing unit and a resilient unit. The needle hub is controlled by the driver assembly to make the needle momentarily protrude. After the needle is used, the location of the driver assembly keeps the needle from protruding. When a new needle hub replaces the used needle hub, the driver assembly will return to the original location before use and can drive the needle momentarily from the casing. Users will not forget to change the used needle. Furthermore, the safety lancet device will decrease the danger of infection.

Abstract: A spacer forming method for a biosensor that has a biosensor possessing a capillary sampling channel and electrical connecting tracks for the use of a specific portable meter. A pair of electrodes is printed on an insulating base plate to be the transducer of the electrochemical biosensor by means of the screen-printing technology. The advanced thick-film printing technology is employed to construct the spacer component of the sampling channel that precisely controls the volume of a sample solution. Therefore, the spacer forming method reduces the usage of adhesive that otherwise causes a serious problem during a continuous punching procedure. Furthermore, the embedded switch pad on the biosensor is introduced to be instead of a micro switch in a connector of the portable meter.
