Abstract
An apparatus comprises a housing, a testing member rotatably mounted in the housing, a lancet protruding from an edge of the testing member and having a piercing end, and a cover configured to cover at least the piercing end of the lancet and to be displaced from the piercing end of the lancet during actuation of the testing member.
Claims11
An apparatus comprising:
- a housing;
- a rotatable testing member comprising a generally circular shape, the rotatable testing member mounted to a rotatable shaft in the housing and the rotatable testing member being rotatable relative to the housing;
- the rotatable testing member further comprising a lancet protruding from an edge of the rotatable testing member and having a piercing end;
- and
- a cover pivotally connected to the rotatable testing member and configured to cover at least the piercing end of the lancet and to be displaced from the piercing end of the lancet during rotation of the rotatable testing member.

An apparatus comprising:
- a housing;
- a rotatable testing member comprising a generally circular shape, the rotatable testing member mounted to a rotatable shaft in the housing and the rotatable testing member being rotatable relative to the housing;
- the rotatable testing member further comprising a lancet protruding from an edge of the rotatable testing member and having a piercing end;
- and
- a cover coupled to the rotatable testing member, configured to cover at least the piercing end of the lancet, and configured to be displaced from the piercing end of the lancet during an initial rotation of the rotatable testing member in a first direction, wherein subsequent rotation of the rotatable testing member also in the first direction allows lancing of a user's finger by the piercing end of the lancet, and wherein the apparatus is configured such that the initial rotation of the rotatable testing member causes the piercing end of the lancet to pierce through an exterior surface of the cover.

- a rotatable testing member comprising a generally circular shape, the rotatable testing member mounted to a rotatable shaft in the housing and the rotatable testing member being rotatable relative to the housing;
- the rotatable testing member further comprising a lancet protruding from an edge of the rotatable testing member and having a piercing end;
- and
- a cover coupled to the rotatable testing member, configured to cover at least the piercing end of the lancet, and configured to be displaced from the piercing end of the lancet during rotation of the rotatable testing member, wherein the rotation causes the cover to be forced against a user's skin thereby causing the cover to be displaced along the length of the lancet towards the rotatable testing member.
