Analytical measuring device with lancing device
First Claim
1. A system for determining the presence or content of an analyte in blood, the system comprising a photometric or electrochemical measuring instrument for measuring and displaying the change of a characteristic property of a test element which correlates with the analyte, the measuring instrument being enclosed in an instrument housing, and a lancing device, including an outer surface, for obtaining blood from a body region of a test person, wherein the measuring instrument housing and the lancing device outer surface are directly and detachably connected to one another so that blood can be obtained from a body region of a test person with the aid of the lancing device when the lancing device outer surface is connected to the measuring instrument housing as well as when the lancing device is detached from the measuring instrument.
