Claims

A system for measuring a blood sample concentration from a blood sample, the system comprising:
a. A disposable housing having an opening for receiving the blood sample for measuring the analyte, and at least two disposable electrical contacts for performing the measurement, wherein the penetrating element and the blood concentration of the contributor a disposable housing having a single measuring element for measuring, and a coupling mechanism for attaching the housing to the measuring area,
b. A reusable housing having at least two reusable electrical contacts corresponding to the at least two disposable electrical contacts, the power source, the controller, the transponder, and at least one mechanical performing said measurement and communicating A reusable housing having an actuator, and a reusable housing having
c. The reusable housing is coupled to the disposable housing on at least two corresponding reusable electrical contacts and at least two disposable electrical contacts, wherein the at least one mechanical actuator is one skin Connected to the piercing element and one of the measuring elements to operate one of the skin piercing elements and one of the measuring elements;
d. Upon receipt of the trigger signal, the at least one mechanical actuator manipulates the one skin piercing element to pierce the skin, and after a predetermined period of time, at least one mechanical actuator causes movement of the one measuring element. Manipulating from a first location of the piercing area to a second location of the piercing area, whereby the opening of the measurement element wipes the piercing area and the blood exiting the piercing area is sampled,
e. This triggers a measurement of the concentration of the analyte in the blood sample in the reusable housing and communication of the measurement to the remote controller,
f. The system is further suitable for receiving the measurement and displaying the measurement in the form of a concentration of the blood sample.

2. The system according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined period is a period in which blood can be accumulated in the piercing area to form a blood accumulation area .

3. The system according to claim 2 , wherein the predetermined period is a predetermined period during which blood can be accumulated in the blood pool region .

3. The system according to claim 2 , wherein the predetermined period is determined by measuring an amount of blood accumulated in the blood pool region using an optical element .

The system of claim 2 , wherein the piercing element is adapted to pierce only the dermal layer of the skin .

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the housing further comprises at least one tissue treatment element for facilitating blood extraction, the treatment element comprising electrical energy, ultrasonic energy, light energy, sonic energy, blood vessel. A system characterized in that it is selected from the group consisting of a dilator, applied heat, massage, and mechanical energy .

The system of claim 6, wherein a remote controller is adapted to control more than one combination of the disposable and reusable housing .

The apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the remote controller, system characterized in that the measurement can communicate with a second remote controller.

The system of claim 7, wherein the remote controller, the system characterized in that it is a mobile phone.

System characterized in that it is adapted to issue an alarm when the concentration of the system further, the measurement according is outside the specified range in claim 7.

An apparatus for measuring a blood sample concentration from a blood sample,
a. A disposable housing having an opening for receiving the blood sample to measure the analyte, and at least two disposable electrical contacts for performing the measurement, a skin piercing element, and blood concentration of the donor A disposable housing comprising one measuring element for measuring the above, a coupling mechanism for attaching the housing to the measuring area, and a coupling mechanism for attaching the housing on the measuring area;
b. A reusable housing having at least two reusable electrical contacts corresponding to the at least two disposable electrical contacts, the power source, the controller, the transponder, and at least one mechanical performing said measurement and communicating An reusable part having an actuator, and a reusable housing having
c. At least one tissue treatment element that facilitates blood extraction;
d. The reusable housing is coupled to the disposable housing on at least two corresponding reusable electrical contacts and at least two corresponding disposable electrical contacts, wherein the at least one mechanical actuator is one Connected to and manipulates the skin piercing element and one of the measuring elements,
e. Upon receiving the trigger signal, the treatment element treats the skin to promote blood perfusion in a tissue volume near the treatment area;
f. After a predetermined period of treatment, at least one mechanical actuator manipulates the operation of the one skin piercing element to pierce the skin in the treatment area where blood perfusion has been promoted, thereby Blood that flows from the pierced skin in the opening gathers and collects blood for sampling,
g. This initiates measurement of the concentration of the analyte in the blood sample collected in the reusable housing and communication of the measurement to the remote controller,
h. The apparatus is further suitable for receiving the measurement and displaying the measurement in the form of a concentration of the blood sample.
