Abstract
A capsule (220), said capsule (220) having a coupling face (222) configured to be coupled to a complementary shape on a housing (120), and a microneedle array (210) that is positioned on a planar contact surface (229). The coupling face (222) has rotational symmetry about an axis of rotation (Z) which extends orthogonally to the planar surface (229) and about which at least two coupling positions are permitted with a single and unique complementary shape on a housing (120), there being, within a fixed reference frame, no microneedle (210) in the same location as that of a different microneedle (210), in the two positions.
Claims15
A body monitoring system configured to be attached to a limb of a living being, comprising:
- a casing, comprising a coupling face,
- a capsule comprising microneedles configured to be inserted into skin of a wearer of the body monitoring system to sample and/or analyze a body fluid from the wearer when the body monitoring system is positioned on a limb of the wearer, the capsule comprising a coupling face, the casing and the capsule configured to be coupled by the coupling faces,
- wherein the capsule is configured to have different predetermined and selectable coupling positions on the coupling face of the casing and configured to permit the wearer to remove and selectively reposition the capsule with respect to the casing, such that in each predetermined selectable coupling position, and using the casing as a frame of reference, each microneedle is at a different location from a position of any of the microneedles at any other predetermined selectable coupling position.
