20. A method for producing an analytical system, for detection of an analyte in a body fluid, the method comprising:
-
a) forming a continuous band of a large number of spaced-apart lancets from a hot-melt elastomer; b) producing at least one resilient area of an elastomer spring in the continuous band; c) applying to the continuous band a sterile protective band of film; d) creating a film pouch from the application of the sterile protective band of film that keeps the lancet system sterile; and e) joining the sealed lancet system to a spacer layer which forms the test element and in which the capillary extends and a measurement area is formed for determining an analyte in a body fluid. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
