Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to bodily fluid sampling devices and more specifically, but not exclusively, concerns an integrated lancing test strip.
- the testing of bodily fluids basically involves the steps of obtaining the fluid sample, transferring the sample to a test device, conducting a test on the fluid sample, and displaying the results. These steps are generally performed by a plurality of separate instruments or devices. Acquiring - Vascular
- One method of acquiring the fluid sample involves inserting a hollow needle or syringe into a vein or artery in order to withdraw a blood sample.
- direct vascular blood sampling can have several limitations, including pain, infection, and hematoma and other bleeding complications.
- direct vascular blood sampling is not suitable for repeating on a routine basis, can be extremely difficult and is not advised for patients to perform on themselves.
- Acquiring - Incising The other common technique for collecting a bodily fluid sample is to form an incision in the skin to bring the fluid to the skin surface. A lancet, knife or other cutting instrument is used to form the incision in the skin. The resulting blood or interstitial fluid specimen is then collected in a small tube or other container, or is placed directly in contact with a test strip.
- the fingertip is frequently used as the fluid source because it is highly vascularized and therefore produces a good quantity of blood.
- the fingertip also has a large concentration of nerve endings, and lancing the fingertip can therefore be painful.
- Alternate sampling sites such as the palm of the hand, forearm, earlobe and the like, may be useful for sampling, and are less painful. However, they also produce lesser amounts of blood. These alternate sites therefore are generally appropriate for use only for test systems requiring relatively small amounts of fluid, or if steps are taken to facilitate the expression of the bodily fluid from the incision site.
- sampling devices can take various forms.
- a sampling device is placed into contact with the fluid.
- Such devices may include, for example, systems in which a tube or test strip is either located adjacent the incision site prior to forming the incision, or is moved to the incision site shortly after the incision has been formed.
- a sampling tube may acquire the fluid by suction or by capillary action.
- sampling systems may include, for example, the systems shown in US Patent Nos. 6,048,352, issued to Douglas et al. on April 11, 2000; 6,099,484, issued to Douglas et al. on August 8, 2000; and 6,332,871, issued to Douglas et al. on December 25, 2001.
- Examples of commercial sampling devices include the Roche Compact, Amira AtLast, Glucometer Elite and Therasense FreeStyle test strips. Testing General
- the bodily fluid sample may be analyzed for a variety of properties or components, as is well known in the art. For example, such analysis may be directed to hematocrit, blood glucose, coagulation, lead, iron, etc.
- Testing systems include such means as optical (e.g., reflectance, absorption, fluorescence, Raman, etc.), electrochemical, and magnetic means for analyzing the sampled fluid. Examples of such test systems include those in US Patent Nos. 5,824,491, issued to Priest et al. on October 20, 1998; 5,962,215, issued to Douglas et al. on October 5, 1999; and 5,776,719, issued to Douglas et al. on July 7, 1998.
- a test system takes advantage of a reaction between the bodily fluid to be tested and a reagent present in the test system.
- an optical test strip will generally rely upon a color change, i.e., a change in the wavelength absorbed or reflected by dye formed by the reagent system used. See, e.g., US Patent Nos. 3,802,842; 4,061,468; and 4,490,465. Blood Glucose
- a common medical test is the measurement of blood glucose level.
- the glucose level can be determined directly by analysis of the blood, or indirectly by analysis of other fluids such as interstitial fluid. Diabetics are generally instructed to measure their blood glucose level several times a day, depending on the nature and severity of their diabetes. Based upon the observed pattern in the measured glucose levels, the patient and physician determine the appropriate level of insulin to be administered, also taking into account such issues as diet, exercise and other factors.
- test systems In testing for the presence of an analyte such as glucose in a bodily fluid, test systems are commonly used which take advantage of an oxidation/reduction reaction which occurs using an oxidase/peroxidase detection chemistry.
- the test reagent is exposed to a sample of the bodily fluid for a suitable period of time, and there is a color change if the analyte (glucose) is present.
- the intensity of this change is proportional to the concentration of analyte in the sample.
- the color of the reagent is then compared to a known standard which enables one to determine the amount of analyte present in the sample.
- This determination can be made, for example, by a visual check or by an instrument, such as a reflectance spectrophotometer at a selected wavelength, or a blood glucose meter.
- an instrument such as a reflectance spectrophotometer at a selected wavelength, or a blood glucose meter.
- Electrochemical and other systems are also well known for testing bodily fluids for properties on constituents. Testing Difficulties
- the patient first creates an incision in the skin by lancing the skin with a lancet.
- the incision has to usually be deep, which can be rather painful for the patient.
- the incision cite still does not provide an adequate amount bodily fluid for the sample, and the patient then must resort to expressing the fluid for the cite. If during expression of the fluid the patient is not careful, smearing of the fluid may occur, which may result in rendering the sample useless.
- the patient has to position a test strip over the cite such that the test strip contacts and absorbs a sufficient amount of the droplet for testing.
- the droplet of fluid is quite small, and patients, especially ones with hand motor control problems, may experience great difficulty in positioning the test strip so as to collect a sample from the droplet. As should be appreciated, patients can become frustrated by this procedure, and consequently, they may perform the test less often or may even quit testing altogether.
- One form of the present invention generally concerns an integrated lancing test strip device for collecting and analyzing bodily fluid from one or more incisions in the skin.
- the device includes at least a pair of blade members that define an internal capillary.
- the blade members have a pair of lancing tips configured to lance the incisions in the skin and positioned to draw bodily fluid from the incisions into the internal capillary via capillary action.
- Test media is positioned along the internal capillary to analyze the bodily fluid.
- the device includes a first blade member that has a first lancing tip configured to lance the skin and a second blade member that has a second lancing tip configured to lance the skin.
- a pair of spacer members attach the first blade member to the second blade member.
- the blade members and the spacer members define a cavity to collect bodily fluid.
- a means for testing the bodily fluid is positioned along the cavity.
- a further form concerns a method that includes providing a lancing device.
- the lancing device includes a pair of blade members that define an internal capillary and a test strip positioned along the internal capillary.
- One or more incisions are lanced in skin with the blade members. Bodily fluid from the incisions are drawn onto the test strip via capillary action through the internal capillary.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an integrated lancet device according to one embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the FIG. 1 lancet with the one blade element removed.
- FIG. 3 is a side view of the FIG. 1 lancet drawing fluid from an incision.
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view of an integrated lancet device according to another embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 5 is a side view of the FIG. 4 lancet drawing fluid from an incision.
- the present invention generally concerns an integrated skin lancing device that reduces the pain as well as the number of steps involved in forming, collecting and testing a bodily fluid sample from an incision.
- the device includes a pair of generally flat blade members with each having a cutting tip configured to cut an incision into the skin.
- the cutting tips extend in generally parallel relationship to one another, and in another embodiment, the tips are angled to contact one another in order to improve their overall strength.
- the two blades of the present invention can cut into the skin at a shallower depth, while still ensuring a sufficient number of capillaries are cut so as to create an adequate fluid supply. By cutting an incision with a shallower depth, less pain may be experienced during lancing.
- the blades can be positioned sufficiently close together such that an incision created by each blade is only sensed by the patient as a single incision.
- the two blade members are joined together through a pair of spacer or adhesive beads that define an internal capillary channel between the blade members.
- the capillary channel is empty such that fluid is drawn via capillary action through the capillary channel.
- the capillary channel is filled with a wicking material that transports the bodily fluid sample.
- the lancet includes a test strip that is configured to test analyte levels in the sample.
- the lancet device is extended to lance a pair of incisions in the skin.
- the cutting tips are withdrawn from the incisions to a position proximal the incisions.
- the bodily fluid from the incisions collects on the skin, the fluid is drawn into the gap between the two blade tips and into the internal capillary via capillary action.
- the blood travels through the internal capillary and is deposited on the test strip for testing.
- the integrated, dual blade design of the present invention reduces the pain involved and the number of steps associated with testing.
- FIGS. 1-3 A dual blade, integrated lancing test strip or device 20 according to one embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in FIGS. 1-3.
- the lancing device 20 includes first 22 and second 24 blade members that extend in a parallel relationship.
- blade members 22 and 24 have a generally flat shape such that device 20 is in the form of a flat lancet.
- blade members 22 and 24 can be easily formed from sheets of material, such as metal, and these sheets can be sandwiched together to form mass quantities of the lancing devices 20 at the same time.
- the flat design allows multiple lancing devices 20 to be connected together so as to be used in a cartridge, such as the drum in an ACCU-CHEK COMPACTTM brand meter (Roche Diagnostics Corp., Indianapolis, Indiana).
- the lancing device 20 can also be a stand-alone lancet that is dispensed and used individually.
- blade members 22 and 24 are made of metal, in particular stainless steel, but it should be appreciated that blade members 22 and 24 can be made of other materials, such as plastic and/or ceramics.
- Spacer members 26 and 28 join the first 22 and second 24 blade members together so as to define an internal capillary 30.
- Spacer members 26 and 28 in one embodiment are beads of adhesive, and in another embodiment are strips of adhesive tape. As should be appreciated, spacer members 26 and 28 can be made of other materials.
- the internal capillary 30 formed between the blade members 22, 24 is sized to draw fluid via capillary action.
- blade members 22 and 24 in one form of the present invention are spaced apart from one another between two- thousandths of an inch (0.002") and ten-thousandths of an inch (0.010") to form the internal capillary 30 of that size.
- blade members 22 and 24 are preferably spaced apart between about two-thousandths of an inch (0.002") to three- thousandths of an inch (0.002") so as to improve the flow rate in the internal capillary 30.
- Each blade 22, 24 has a lancing tip 32 at one end that define a capillary gap 34, which opens into one end of the internal capillary 30.
- the other end of the internal capillary 30 is enclosed by a vent block 36.
- the vent block 36 in one embodiment is made of plastic, but it should be appreciated that vent block 36 can be made from other materials.
- the vent block 36 can be made from metal, plastic, an adhesive bead, and/or adhesive tape, to name a few.
- the lancing tips 32 are shaped to cut an incision in the skin. In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, the lancing tips 32 of the first 22 and second 24 blade members extend in a parallel relationship with respect to one another and have a general triangular shape.
- the lancing tips 32 in other embodiments can have a different shape. As will be discussed in further detail below, by extending parallel to one another, the tips 32 are able to cut a pair of incisions in the skin. It should be understood that device 20 in other embodiments can incorporated more than two lancing tips 32. By having two (or more) lancing tips 32, a more shallow penetration depth may be used to collect the same amount of fluid, thereby reducing the associated pain with lancing.
- the lancing tips 32 in one embodiment are spaced apart a small distance such that the nerves endings in the patient are unable to differentiate between the two incisions formed by the lancing tips 32 so that the patient only experiences the sensation of a single incision.
- the spacing between the lancing tips 32 can be sized depending on the location where the incision is desired to be formed. In one particular embodiment, the tips 32 are spaced apart between two-thousandths of an inch (0.002") to three-thousandths of an inch (0.003").
- the vent block 36 defines a registration opening 37, and a test strip or media 38 is positioned along the internal capillary 30 in order to receive fluid drawn by the internal capillary 30.
- the test strip 38 is operable to test analyte levels in bodily fluid.
- the test strip 38 can analyze fluid through such means as optical (e.g., reflectance, absorption, fluorescence, Raman, etc.), electrochemical, and magnetic analysis, to name a few.
- the test strip 38 analyzes the fluid optically.
- the registration opening 37 is used to align device 20 in a testing system such that the test strip 38 is properly positioned for analysis.
- a test strip opening 40 is defined between the vent block 36 and the first blade member 22.
- the test strip 38 in FIG. 1 is attached to the spacer members 26, 28 in the test strip opening 40.
- test strips can be sensitive to environmental factors that exist during sterilization. So as to avoid the need to recalibrate the test strip 38 after sterilization, the test strip 38 in one embodiment is attached after sterilization of the blade members 22, 24.
- the test strip 38 has a width that is slightly smaller than the width of the test strip opening 40 such that a vent opening 42 is formed between the test strip 38 and the vent block 36.
- the vent opening 42 allows air to be vented from the internal capillary 30, thereby improving the flow of the bodily fluid within the capillary 30.
- the lancing device 20 is used to form a pair of incisions 44 in skin 46.
- the tips 32 are withdrawn from the incisions 44 and positioned proximal to the skin 46 such that bodily fluid 48 is able to freely flow from the incisions 44 and form a drop on the skin 46.
- the lancing tips 32 can be withdrawn and positioned proximal the drop of fluid 48 either manually by the patient or automatically through the use of a retraction mechanism, such as a spring.
- a retraction mechanism such as a spring.
- the fluid 48 is wicked via capillary action into the capillary gap 30. From gap 30, the sample of fluid 48 then travels through the internal capillary 30 and is deposited on the test strip 38.
- Device 50 remains in position for collecting fluid until a sufficient amount has been collected on the test strip 38. Once a sufficient amount of bodily fluid 48 has been collected, device 20 can be removed from the vicinity of the skin 46.
- An integrated lancing test strip or device 50 will now be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.
- Device 50 has many components similar to the ones described above, with the notable exceptions discussed below.
- Device 50 includes vent block 36 with registration opening 37, test strip 38, and vent opening 42, which are shown in FIG. 1.
- device 50 further includes first 22a and second 24a blade members that are attached through the spacer members 26 and 28.
- device 50 in FIG. 4 is in the form of a generally flat lancet.
- the spacer members 26, 28 along with the blade members 22a, 24a define an internal capillary 30a.
- wicking material 52 is received in the internal capillary for drawing fluid to the test strip 38.
- the wicking material can be selected from various materials including, but not limited to, Pall Accuwick and Whatman 41, which provide a high enough capillary action to wick the fluid onto the test strip.
- the blade members 22a and 24a have lancing tips 32a extending therefrom.
- lancing tips 32a in the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5 are angled towards one another. As shown in the illustrated embodiment, the outermost ends of the lancing tips 32a contact one another.
- tips 32a By angling towards one another, tips 32a are able to support one another, thereby increasing the overall strength of the lancing tips 32a.
- This construction can allow the blade members 22a, 24a to be formed from thinner material, while still having adequate strength for forming an incision.
- tips 32a are angled towards one another, but their outermost ends are slightly spaced apart such that tips 32a do not contact one another. With this embodiment, the lancing tips 32a can support one another by contacting during deflection of the lancing tips 32a.
- the tips 32a of device 50 define a capillary gap 34a in which bodily fluid is drawn via capillary action.
- the wicking material 52 does not extend into capillary gap 34.
- the wicking material 52 fills gap 34a.
- device 50 samples fluid in a manner very similar to the embodiment described above. However, when tips 32a in device 50 contact each other, only a single incision 44 is formed in the skin. It should be appreciated that when the lancing tips 32a are slightly spaced apart, two incisions 44 can be formed in the skin 46. As in the embodiment before, tips 32a are positioned proximal to the incision 44 after lancing so as to be able to collect bodily fluid 48 from the incision 44. As shown, the bodily fluid 48 is drawn into gap 34a and then into the wicking material 52 in internal capillary 30a.
- the wicking material 52 deposits the bodily fluid 48 onto the test strip 38.
