Patent number: 10537357Abstract: An insertion device including an insertion needle holder and a drive mechanism for linearly moving the insertion needle holder in a puncturing direction. The insertion needle holder also includes at least one actuating element for actuating a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism converts a driving motion of the actuating element, which extends transversely or opposite to the puncturing direction, into a puncturing motion of the insertion needle holder.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2017Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: Roche Diabetes Care, Inc.Inventors: Frank Deck, Christian Hoerauf, Michael Keil, Ahmet Konya, Thomas Weiss, Oliver Kube, Karl-Peter Ebert

Patent number: 10194838Abstract: A lancing device comprises a lancet drive to cause a lancet to effect a puncturing movement, a housing that encloses the lancet drive, and a touching element with an opening for applying a part of a body in which a prick wound is to be produced, the touching element being movable relative to the lancet drive for the purpose of adjusting the puncturing depth in a puncturing direction. The touching element is connected rotatably by means of a screw thread to an intermediate piece and is movable in the puncturing direction, while the intermediate piece is rotatable and movable relative to the housing. A guide prevents rotation of the touching element relative to the housing, and the touching element is enclosed by the intermediate piece at least over part of its length.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2016Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: ROCHE DIABETES CARE, INC.Inventors: Thomas Weiss, Susanne Gentsch, Lydia Kolonko, Richard Forster, Andreas Gorshöfer, Karl-Peter Ebert, Robert Wessel

Patent number: 9364172Abstract: The invention relates to a system for collecting samples and to a method for collecting a liquid sample. The system comprises at least one analytical aid, the analytical aid comprising a lancet and a test element, and the test element having a test field for analysis of the liquid sample. The system for collecting samples comprises a coupling element which can be successively connected to the lancet, in a first position of the analytical aid, and to the test element, in a second position of the analytical aid. The system for collecting samples also comprises a drive unit for moving the coupling element from a rest position to a deployed position, such that the movement of the coupling element is transmitted to the lancet, coupled thereto, in order to execute a puncturing movement, or is transmitted to the test element, coupled thereto, in order to execute a sample recovery movement.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2009Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignee: Roche Diabetes Care, Inc.Inventors: Ahmet Konya, Frank Deck, Karl-Peter Ebert

Patent number: 9295418Abstract: An insertion device with an underside for placing on the skin of a patient, which has a recess for an insertion needle. The insertion device has means for forming a skin surface rising like a step or slope and facing towards the recess, preferably bearing on the recess. The means for forming the step or slope may include first and second pressure areas for pressing the skin with the recess for the needle located between the first and second pressure areas. The device may be configured whereby a downwardly extending cutting plane, in which the insertion needle lies, intersects the first pressure area in a first line and the second pressure area in a second line, and wherein the first line in the vicinity of the recess extends at a greater height than the second line. At least one of the two pressure areas may be a strip.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2013Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: Roche Diabetes Care, Inc.Inventors: Frank Deck, Karl-Peter Ebert

Patent number: 8231547Abstract: The present invention provides a puncturing system for withdrawing body fluid. The puncturing system comprises a disposable puncturing unit, which includes a needle element for piercing into skin and a puncturing depth reference element with a skin contact area. The system includes a puncturing instrument which has a puncturing drive, wherein the puncturing drive is coupled by a coupling mechanism to the puncturing unit for driving the needle element to a puncturing depth, the puncturing depth being determined by the distance in the piercing direction between the skin contact area and the position of the tip of the needle at a reversal point of the puncturing movement. The puncturing depth reference element is connected to the needle element such that the puncturing depth reference element moves with the needle element during at least part of the puncturing movement.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2007Date of Patent: July 31, 2012Assignee: Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc.Inventors: Frank Deck, Ortrud Quarder, Thomas Weiss, Christian Hörauf, Michael Keil, Ahmet Konya, Herbert Harttig, Felix Baader, Hans List, Karl-Peter Ebert
