Abstract
The present invention provides a lancing apparatus (A) which includes a lancet (3) which is movable to advance in a first direction from a deeper portion in a housing (2) toward a front end of a cylindrical member (8) and an analysis component (4) disposed in the cylindrical member (8). The analysis component (4) is movable in a second direction opposite to the first direction upon receiving a force in the second direction. When skin (S) bulges, the analysis component (4) moves in the second direction following the bulging of the skin, whereby blood (b) bleeding from the skin (S) is properly introduced to the analysis component (4).

12. A lancing apparatus comprising:
-
a housing integrally or separately formed with a cylindrical member having an open front end, a lancet disposed in the housing and movable to advance in a first direction from a deeper portion in the housing toward the front end of the cylindrical member, an analysis component disposed in the cylindrical member;
a determiner for determining whether or not a sample is introduced to the analysis component, and a negative pressure generator for generating negative pressure in the cylindrical member, wherein the lancing apparatus further comprises a controller for performing control to relieve the negative pressure generated in the cylindrical member when the determiner determines that the sample is not introduced to the analysis component within a predetermined time after the lancing apparatus is advanced toward the front end of the cylindrical member. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
