Sampling module for extracting interstitial fluid
First Claim
1. A sampling module for extracting interstitial fluid (ISF) from a user'"'"'s body, the sampling module comprising:
- a housing assembly; and
a pressure ring assembly operatively contained within the housing assembly, the pressure ring assembly including;
a penetration member configured for penetrating a target site of a user'"'"'s body and, subsequently, residing in the target site and extracting ISF therefrom;
at least one pressure ring configured for applying pressure to the user'"'"'s body in a first vicinity of the target site while said penetration member is residing the target site; and
at least one floating ring that includes;
a proximal end;
a distal end; and
an adhesive layer disposed on the distal end of the floating ring;
wherein the adhesive layer provides for adhesive attachment of the floating ring to the user'"'"'s body in a second vicinity of the target site, thereby influencing target site deformation during use of the sampling module.

Abstract
A sampling module for extracting interstitial fluid (ISF) from a user'"'"'s body includes a housing assembly and a pressure ring assembly operatively contained within the housing assembly. The pressure ring assembly includes a penetration member configured for penetrating a target site of the user'"'"'s body and, subsequently, residing in the target site and extracting ISF therefrom. The pressure ring assembly also includes a pressure ring configured for applying pressure to the user'"'"'s body in a first vicinity of the target site and a floating ring with an adhesive layer disposed on it'"'"'s distal end. The adhesive layer of the sampling module provides for adhesive attachment of the floating ring to the user'"'"'s body in a second vicinity of the target site, thereby influencing target site deformation during use of the sampling module.
