Patent number: 10602969Abstract: A lancet magazine for use in a lancing aid is described comprising a plurality of lancets each having a lancet body at the proximal end of the lancet and a lancet tip at the distal end of the lancet, where the proximal end of the lancet points in the direction of the proximal end of the housing of the lancet magazine and the distal end of the lancet is aligned in the direction of the distal end of the housing and the lancets in the unused state are completely surrounded by the housing. Furthermore, an extension unit is movably connected to the housing in such a manner that the housing can be extended by movement of the extension unit in the direction of the distal end of the housing such that the lancet is prevented from emerging from the lancet magazine.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2017Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: Roche Diabetes Care, Inc.Inventors: Richard Forster, Susanne Gentsch, Andreas Gorshöfer, Michael Keil, Thomas Weiss, Robert Wessel

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: 5679311Abstract: A storage container for analytical test elements includes a guide mechanism thereupon. The storage container holds a plurality of test elements attached to a tape, with each of the test elements including a test zone thereupon. The storage container is configured to expel individual test elements by passing the tape over the guide mechanism, thereby changing a direction of movement of the tape by the guide mechanism. This action detaches a test element from the tape.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 1996Date of Patent: October 21, 1997Assignee: Boehringer Mannheim GmbHInventors: Herbert Harttig, Susanne Gentsch, Elmar Schmidt, Rudolf Schuessler
