Esta invención es aplicable en sectores diversos tales como el sanitario y químico (análisis). This invention is applicable in various sectors such as sanitary and chemical (analysis).
Antecedentes de la invención Background of the invention
20 twenty
La diabetes es una de las principales enfermedades a niveles estadísticos y de las primeras causas de muerte en el mundo. En este sentido la política socio-sanitaria de los gobiernos se ha dirigido a mejorar el autocontrol, con el objetivo de promover la responsabilidad y la autonomía de las personas con diabetes en el cuidado de la enfermedad. Dicho control metabólico óptimo es capaz de prevenir o retrasar las 25 complicaciones microangiopáticas en cualquier forma de diabetes. Diabetes is one of the main diseases at statistical levels and the leading causes of death in the world. In this sense, the socio-sanitary policy of governments has been aimed at improving self-control, with the aim of promoting the responsibility and autonomy of people with diabetes in the care of the disease. Said optimal metabolic control is able to prevent or delay the 25 microangiopathic complications in any form of diabetes.
La frecuencia y uso del autoanálisis se debe individualizar en función de la edad, tipo de diabetes, calidad de vida, tratamiento administrado (insulina, antidiabéticos orales asociados o no a insulina) según períodos de estabilidad o inestabilidad metabólica. 30 The frequency and use of self-analysis should be individualized according to age, type of diabetes, quality of life, treatment administered (insulin, oral antidiabetics associated or not with insulin) according to periods of stability or metabolic instability. 30
Actualmente el sector medico-sanitario, a los efectos de control y medición de la glucosa en sangre por autoanálisis dispone de unos monitores-lectores de la glucosa en sangre a través de la inserción de unas tiras reactivas de un solo uso. Currently, the medical-health sector, for the purposes of control and measurement of blood glucose by self-analysis, has blood glucose monitors-readers through the insertion of single-use test strips.

Si bien cada fabricante dispone de su propio sistema de medición, en el caso de las tiras, de similares características reactivas, su dispensación no ha sido resuelta de forma correcta. Although each manufacturer has its own measuring system, in the case of the strips, similar reactive characteristics, its dispensing has not been resolved correctly.
La dispensación de dichas tiras (habitualmente realizada en recipientes - botes - opacos, 40 en presentaciones de 25/50 unidades) requieren una manipulación que, si no se realiza con cuidado puede alterar las propiedades químicas de la misma, con las consiguientes lecturas erróneas de los aparatos medidores. The dispensing of said strips (usually made in containers - boats - opaque, 40 in presentations of 25/50 units) requires a manipulation that, if not done carefully, can alter the chemical properties of the same, with the consequent erroneous readings of The measuring devices.
Si tenemos en cuenta que la prevalencia de afectados de diabetes es en personas de 45 edad avanzada, la necesidad de facilitar su uso, evita márgenes de error de lectura de los dispositivos, de forma considerable. En este sentido se han editado diversas guías o recomendaciones para el uso adecuado de las tiras reactivas por parte de los servicios de salud públicos; haciendo hincapié en su uso tras la extracción de los envases o el mantenimiento de los envases cerrados (Tal como hizo el la Agencia Valenciana de 50 Salud, a título de ejemplo). If we take into account that the prevalence of people affected by diabetes is in people of advanced age, the need to facilitate its use avoids margins of error in reading the devices considerably. In this regard, various guides or recommendations have been published for the proper use of test strips by public health services; emphasizing its use after the extraction of the containers or the maintenance of the closed containers (As did the Valencian Agency of 50 Health, by way of example).
El testeo de los prototipos realizados con el público objetivo respecto a la Patente Nacional en trámite 201300825, han detectado cierta dificultad ergonómica en su uso cotidiano. Fruto de dicha circunstancia se ha procedido a evaluar nuevas propuestas mecánicas que con el mismo fin funcional respondan a las necesidades de los potenciales usuarios y que cumplan los requisitos físicos y/o químicos a los efectos de 5 ineltarabilidad de las tiras dispensadas. The testing of the prototypes made with the target audience with respect to the National Patent pending 201300825, have detected some ergonomic difficulty in their daily use. As a result of this circumstance, new mechanical proposals have been evaluated that, for the same functional purpose, respond to the needs of potential users and that meet the physical and / or chemical requirements for the purposes of the ineltarability of the dispensed strips.
La distinción respecto a la patente en trámite presentada por el mismo usuario titular, modifica el uso vertical del dispensador por uno horizontal más adecuado a la situación concurrente en el público objetivo y que afecta a la capacidad psicomotriz de los mismos. 10 The distinction with respect to the patent in process presented by the same owner, modifies the vertical use of the dispenser by a horizontal one more appropriate to the concurrent situation in the target audience and that affects their psychomotor capacity. 10
Descripción de la invención Description of the invention
Para resolver y atender los problemas expuestos anteriormente se ha ideado un dispensador de tiras reactivas, objeto de esta invención que, siendo de gran sencillez 15 constructiva y de accionamiento manual (con una sola mano), permite dispensar la tira reactiva para su uso y posterior colocación en el monitor de lectura. Todo ello, sin su manipulación, tanto en su dispensación como en su extracción. To solve and address the problems set forth above, a test strip dispenser has been devised, object of this invention which, being very constructive and manually operated (with one hand), allows the test strip to be dispensed for use and subsequent use. placement on the reading monitor. All this, without its manipulation, both in its dispensation and its extraction.
El principio básico responde a los mismos elementos que la Patente Nacional en trámite 20 201300825: un elevador del pack de tiras disponibles, un elemento mecánico extractor y un elemento manipulador tras el fin de la vida útil de la tira dispensada. La novedad pasa por el mecanismo activador de la dispensación que pasa a ser por empuje lineal en vez de arrastre rotativo; así mismo el mismo mecanismo presentado con varias soluciones reivindicativas permite la estanqueidad sin la necesidad de la utilización de un cabezal de 25 cierre; asimismo, el mecanismo de empuje es a la vez obturador del elevador que dispensa una nueva tira. The basic principle responds to the same elements as the National Patent in process 20 201300825: an elevator of the pack of available strips, a mechanical extractor element and a manipulator element after the end of the useful life of the dispensed strip. The novelty goes through the activating mechanism of the dispensation that happens to be by linear thrust instead of rotary drag; Likewise, the same mechanism presented with various claims solutions allows sealing without the need for the use of a closure head; likewise, the thrust mechanism is at the same time an elevator shutter that dispenses a new strip.
El elemento manipulador tras el fin de la vida útil de la tira reactiva cambia su mecanismo de presión, con el objeto de adaptarse a la disminución de fuerza mecánica disponible 30 por el usuario, de manera que la presión para la retirada y destrucción de la misma se ejerce de forma simple por presión de una cuña de movimiento lineal en receptáculo de dimensión ajustada a la tira a desechar, accionada por un elemento de arrastre sobre guía unido perpendicularmente a la cuña interior. The manipulator element after the end of the life of the test strip changes its pressure mechanism, in order to adapt to the decrease in mechanical force available by the user, so that the pressure for removal and destruction thereof it is simply exerted by pressing a wedge of linear movement in a receptacle of dimension adjusted to the strip to be discarded, actuated by a guide drag element connected perpendicularly to the inner wedge.

El cuerpo-casete es estanco, preservando la estabilidad físico-química de las tiras reactivas remanentes hasta la carga del mecanismo de empuje de la tira, que liberando la presión ejercida por el elevador libera la boca de salida. A estos efectos, la apertura de salida de la tira, queda sellada por el encaje de una pestaña interior del cabezal del dispensador de igual tamaño que la boca de salida. 40 The cassette body is sealed, preserving the physical-chemical stability of the remaining test strips until the thrust mechanism of the strip is loaded, which releasing the pressure exerted by the elevator releases the outlet. For this purpose, the outlet opening of the strip is sealed by the fitting of an inner flange of the dispenser head of the same size as the outlet mouth. 40
Con estas características, el dispensador de tiras permite obtener una tira reactiva por cada carga al liberar la presión ascendente ejercida por el elevador. With these characteristics, the strip dispenser allows obtaining a test strip for each load by releasing the upward pressure exerted by the elevator.
El accionador lineal sobre guía, puede transmitir el movimiento al elemento de empuje 45 bien por un fleje o un cardan sobre guía; bien por unión perpendicular rígida. The linear actuator on a guide can transmit the movement to the pushing element 45 either by a strap or a cardan on a guide; either by rigid perpendicular union.
A la vez que una tira es expulsada al exterior, un elevador, que sostiene compactadas por superposición las tiras precargadas remanentes, es empujado hacia arriba por acción de las gomas elásticas; de manera que la siguiente tira quede dispuesta para una nueva 50 dispensación. At the same time that a strip is expelled to the outside, an elevator, which holds the remaining preloaded strips compacted by superposition, is pushed up by the action of the elastic bands; so that the next strip is arranged for a new dispensation.
Una vez extraída la tira a usar, para que sea desechada del dispositivo medidor, mediante el giro en 180º del dispositivo objeto de invención, puede emplearse un pulsador que permite pinzar la tira, mediante su introducción en una apertura situada bajo el cuerpo de la invención, con la finalidad de poderla sujetar sin su manipulación. Pinzada la tira a desechar, una vez aproximado al contenedor adecuado, realizando el movimiento 5 inverso con el pulsador la presión ejercida por la cuña interior deja de pinzar la tira reactiva cayendo ésta sin necesidad de manipulación. Once the strip to be used has been removed, to be discarded from the measuring device, by turning the device object of the invention 180 °, a button can be used to clamp the strip, by inserting it into an opening located under the body of the invention , in order to be able to hold it without its manipulation. Once the strip to be disposed has been clamped, once approximating the appropriate container, the reverse pressure of the inner wedge ceases to clamp the test strip, falling without the need for manipulation.
