1. A tissue penetrating system, comprising:
- a plurality of penetrating members a penetrating member driver coupled to the plurality of penetrating members;
a disposable transport device;
a plurality of disposables each associated with a penetrating member, the disposable transport device being configured to move each disposable to a position aligning a penetrating member with the penetrating member driver to drive the penetrating member along a path into a target tissue site; and
a user interface coupled to a processor, wherein in response to an input at the user interface by a user the processor provides an input to the penetrating member driver selected from, depth of a penetrating member penetration, velocity of a penetrating member, a desired velocity profile, a velocity of a penetrating member into the target tissue, velocity of the penetrating member out of the target tissue, dwell time of the penetrating member in the target tissue, and a target tissue relaxation parameter.

Abstract
A tissue penetration device includes a penetrating member driver, a cartridge, and a plurality of penetrating members integrated with the cartridge. Each of a penetrating member is coupled to the penetrating member driver when advanced along a path into a tissue target. A user interface is configured to relay at least one of, skin penetrating performance or a skin penetrating setting.
