System for withdrawing body fluid
First Claim
1. A system for withdrawing body fluid from a body part via a withdrawal site located on the surface of the body part, the system comprising:
- at least one sensor for detecting at least one variable dependent on the location or state of the withdrawal site;
an evaluation unit for evaluating the at least one variable detected by the at least one sensor and for triggering a reaction, dependent on the value of the detected variable, in the system for withdrawing body fluid, said reaction serving to prepare the system for the withdrawal of body fluid; and
at least one puncturing device for creating an opening in the body at the withdrawal site;
wherein the system further comprises a compression unit for increasing the internal pressure in the area of the withdrawal site in a lateral direction when collecting the body fluid, in such a way that body fluid is expressed out of the opening.
