Abstract: A medical device is presented for reduced-pain blood sampling and testing. The device comprises a housing defining a finger site for supporting a user's finger or a portion thereof within said finger site during the device operation; piercing, sampling and testing assemblies sequentially actuatable to successively initiate piercing, sampling and testing operational modes of the device; a carriage at least partially accommodated within said housing and being adapted for movement with respect to said finger site between its first position corresponding to the piercing mode of the device and a second position corresponding to the sampling and testing modes of the device, the device being thereby capable of operating in the piercing, sampling and testing modes while at a static position of the user's finger.

Abstract: Systems, methods and devices are provided for invasive reduced-pain blood sampling and testing, the devices including, a horizontally-disposed finger support element configured to support the finger thereupon, a finger holding element adapted, in a closed position, to radially grip the finger on said support element near to a tip thereof and configured to force blood into said tip, a lancet housing element disposed vertically underneath the finger support element for piercing the finger tip with a lancet while said finger tip is gripped by said finger holding element and supported by said finger support element; and a test strip conveying element adapted to be received by the finger support element after retraction of the lancet housing element thereby bringing a test strip into direct contact with a predetermined volume of blood from said finger support element thereby effecting a blood test.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an integrated sampling and testing device for sampling and testing blood from a human finger which comprises clamping means for temporarily clamping a finger below the tip of said finger, a lancet for piercing said finger tip while said finger is held by said clamping means testing means for performing at least one test on blood drawn from said finger, wherein said testing means is aligned with said lancet such that blood drawn from said finger immediately contacts said testing means after being drawn.
