ANALYTICAL AID
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An analytical aid, comprising:
- a base that is breakable into a first segment and a second segment when stress is applied to the base, the base having a recess;
a lancet connected to the base and having a lancet point that is located in the recess when the analytical aid is in an unused state, the lancet point becoming exposed for puncturing a body part when the base is broken into the first segment and the second segment; and
a test element attached to the base.

Abstract
An analytical aid including a base, a lancet and a test element. The lancet includes a lancet point and a distal end of the lancet can be attached to the base. At least the lancet point is located in a recess in the base and the recess can be closed by a cover as long as the analytical aid is in an unused state. The base includes a predetermined breaking point or position, at which the base is broken into two segments when stress is applied. The predetermined breaking point is arranged such that the lancet point is exposed for use when the base breaks at the predetermined breaking point. A test element is attached to the base.

12. A method for analyzing a sample using an analytical aid having a lancet, a base that is breakable into first and second segments, a test element that is attached to the base, and a measuring head, the method comprising:
-
breaking the base into the first and second segments to expose a point of the lancet;
stretching the test element over the measuring head;
taking the sample by pricking a body part with the lancet point;
receiving the sample on the test element; and
analyzing the sample with the measuring head. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. An analytical aid, comprising:
-
a base that is breakable during use into a first segment and a second segment;
a lancet connected to the base;
a test element attached to the base;
a measuring head configured to analyze an application area of the test element; and
the analytical aid being movable from an unused position to a use position, wherein;
in the unused position the point of the lancet is covered; and
in the use position the base is broken into the first and second segments, the lancet point is exposed for puncturing a segment, and the test element is stretched over the measuring head. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
