  • Patent number: 8052707
    Abstract: A patient's skin puncturing device, particularly for collecting a blood sample for diagnostic purposes, including a housing, a lancet slidably positioned inside the housing and having a body with a sheathed puncturing needle seated therein, and a push button positioned at the one end of the housing. Between a face end of the push button and the lancet body a drive spring is placed, and between the other end of the housing, which is provided with an opening for the puncturing needle, and the lancet body a return spring is placed. Between the housing and the lancet body is placed a lancet actuation lock, preferably in the form of interlocks of a washer.

  • Publication number: 20060123930
    Abstract: In the method of dispensing liquid according to the invention, when liquid is aspired by the pump to the pipette, the required size of dose of the liquid is dispensed from the pipette in proportion to the atmospheric air fed thereto through a valve or a set of connected to the pipette, whereas the amount of supplied atmospheric air is processor programmed by the determination of time and/or flow rate and/or damping of the supply of atmospheric air into the pipette. Pipetting device according to the invenvention comprises a housing with a handle (3) for mounting the pipette (4), whereas in the housing, an air pump (6) is located, connected to the pipette (5), and a processor (15) to control the operation of the device. The pipetting device comprises also a set of valves (10) for processor (15) controlled atmospheric airflow during dispensing liquid, whereas the set of valves (10) is connected to the pipette (5).

  • Publication number: 20060096349
    Abstract: In the method of pipette calibration, the volume of liquid to be aspired is manually set by turning in and out the adjustment screw regulating the length of the operational stroke of the plunger inside the shaft, the position of the adjustment screw is detected, and a signal corresponding to the position of the adjustment screw is sent to the pipette electronic system, and next the signal corresponding to the position of the adjustment screw is compared with values of points from the aspiration table or values of the aspiration function, which has been earlier input to the memory of the electronic system correspondingly as the standard aspiration table or aspiration function for the pipette, and next to the position of the adjustment screw, the value of the aspired liquid volume is assigned, and displayed on the display.
