DEVICE, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MODULAR ANALYTE TEST Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61B5/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions refers to medicine. A system comprises a disposable body having a hole, disposable electrical contacts, a skin-piercing element, a measuring element for measuring the analyte concentration, and a coupling mechanism for securing the above body within a piercing; and a reusable body having reusable electrical contacts, a power supply, a controller, a transceiver and a mechanical drive. Once the reusable body is attached to the disposable body, the reusable electrical contacts are electrically connected to the related electrical contacts. The mechanical drive is connected to the skin-piercing element and the measuring element and actuates them. The controller is configured so that as receives a start-up signal: it makes the mechanical drive pierce the skin through the above hole by means of the skin-piercing element within the piercing, make the mechanical drive translate the measuring element within the piercing so that the measuring element takes a blood sample within the piercing for determining the analyte concentration, run measuring the analyte concentration; it makes the transceiver transmitting the measurement results to the remote controller. There are disclosed versions of the system differing by circuit designs.

EFFECT: providing the remote monitoring of the analyte concentration.
