1. A blood removal system for removing blood for diagnostic purposes, comprising:
- a housing;
a lancet drive connected to the housing and including;
a drive spring;
a cocking element connected to the drive spring;
a drive rotor connected to the drive spring; and
a coupling mechanism coupled to the drive rotor;
wherein;
during a cocking phase of the lancet drive the cocking element rotates in a first direction to tension the drive spring while the drive rotor is inhibited from rotating in the first direction;
during a driving phase of the lancet drive the drive rotor is rotatably driven in the first direction while the cocking element is arrested against a backward rotation, the coupling mechanism converting rotational movement of the drive rotor to movement of the lancet along a puncture path; and
a 360°
rotation of the drive rotor causes a single puncture and return movement of the lancet.

Abstract
Blood removal system for removing blood for diagnostic purposes including a housing, a lancet guide, and a lancet drive with a drive spring. The lancet drive comprises a cocking device, in order to tension the drive spring, a drive rotor that is driven by the drive spring, and an output-side coupling mechanism, by means of which the rotational movement of the drive rotor is converted into the puncturing movement.
