Patent number: 10716504Abstract: A medical system is disclosed, which can be useable in particular for monitoring and/or controlling at least one bodily function of a user. The medical system comprises a control device and at least one medical user element embodied separately from the control device. The medical user element and the control device are designed to exchange data wirelessly. The medical system is designed to enable an automatic assignment step, wherein an exchange of personal data between the medical user element and the control device is enabled by the automatic assignment step. The medical system is furthermore designed to automatically initiate the automatic assignment step by means of an assignment coupling between the medical user element and the control device. The medical system is furthermore designed to enable a separation of the assignment coupling for medical operation of the medical system after the assignment step.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2017Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: Roche Diabetes Care, Inc.Inventors: Nicole Bernini, Harvey B.

Patent number: 8075496Abstract: The present invention provides an integrated measuring device that includes a blood collection system for collecting blood for diagnostic purposes. The blood collection system comprises an electric motor which provides energy for propelling a lancet. The blood collection system comprises a mechanical energy store in which the electric energy that is converted by the motor is stored in the form of mechanical energy. The use of a mechanical energy store allows the use of known mechanical drive elements. The blood collection system can also be electrically activated and is thus easy to use for the operator. The motor can also be coupled to another system component, such as a test strip or lancet drum, to operate it.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2007Date of Patent: December 13, 2011Assignee: Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc.Inventors: Frank Deck, Joachim Doepper, Christian Hoerauf, Rudolf Pachl, Juergen Rasch-Menges, Joerg Scherer, Guenther Schmelzeisen-Redeker, Wilfried Schmid, Jochen Schulat, Bruno Thoes, Sven Winheim
