Claims10
A single use assembly for sampling bodily fluid, the assembly comprising a membrane penetrating element for penetrating a bodily membrane to release a supply of bodily fluid;
- an engagement arm;
- and a collector reservoir positioned on the engagement arm, the membrane penetrating element being positioned separate from and outside of the collector reservoir and the engagement arm, the collector reservoir being configured to adopt a collection position to take up and store a sample of released bodily fluid from the supply of bodily fluid in the collector reservoir and a delivery position to deliver the stored sample from the collector reservoir to a test element, the collector reservoir having a predefined sample volume, wherein the collector reservoir is not in fluid communication with the test element in the collection position and is not in fluid communication with the supply of bodily fluid in the delivery position;
- wherein the collector reservoir is configured to move between the collection position and the delivery position by movement of the engagement arm;
- and wherein the assembly is configured such that movement of the collector reservoir between the collection position and the delivery position is controlled bar movement of the engagement arm.
