Abstract

See full text

A cap for a lancing device includes a cap body and at least one sensor. In addition, the cap body includes a distal end with a target site contact surface, a proximal end for attachment to a lancing device and an opening through the cap body from the distal end to the proximal end. Furthermore, at least a portion of the target site contact surface is moveable between a first position and a second position upon application of a predetermined pressure to that portion of the distal end contact surface, and the sensor is configured to detect movement of the portion of the distal end contact surface into the second position and communicate such detection to the lancing device.
