- System for analysing a sample to be examined comprising a test field containing a reagent which on contact, interacts with an analyte contained in a sample resulting in an optically detectable change in the test field, at least one light-conducting element having a first distal end which is arranged in a region of the test field and a second proximal end into which light can be coupled such that light is conducted from the second end to the test field and is conducted away again from the test field by the same or another light-conducting element, and a lancet which is at least partially surrounded by the light-conducting element having a lancet tip which is located in the region of the distal end and of the test field in such a manner that the lancet tip extends beyond the distal end of the light guide and beyond the test field during a lancing process.

Abstract
The invention relates to the field of integrated systems which comprise a test element and a lancet which can be firstly used to make a wound in a skin opening in order to collect a sample, preferably blood. The blood flowing out is subsequently directly taken up by the test element in the process of which it comes into contact with a reagent contained in the test element and results in an optically detectable change in a test field. The change in the test field is detected by means of an analytical unit which is optically contacted with the test field via at least one light-conducting element.
