Analyte monitoring system with a device for promoting bodily fluid expression from a target site
First Claim
1. An analyte monitoring system for the determination of an analyte in a bodily fluid sample, the analyte monitoring system comprising:
- a housing;
a meter for the determination of an analyte in a bodily fluid sample, the meter at least partially contained with the housing; and
a device for promoting the expression of the bodily fluid sample from a target site, the device including;
a pressure application mechanism for urging bodily fluid toward the target site attached to the housing, the pressure application mechanism configured for urging the bodily fluid by sequentially increasing an area of contact and applied pressure between the pressure application mechanism and the user'"'"'s body in the vicinity of the target site, wherein the area of contact and applied pressure sequentially increases in a direction toward the target site.
