The Tasso+ Kit is a kit that includes the Tasso+ device and all supplies necessary to collect a blood sample. The Tasso+ device is a sterile, disposable blood lancing device. When collecting a sample, the device is held onto the skin by a mild adhesive. A sterile lancet punctures the skin with a press of the button, simultaneously this creates a slight vacuum that helps capillary blood flow under gravity into a compatible tube. After a predefined time period, or when the tube is full, the device is peeled off the skin. The tube is removed and capped for transport. The lancet is single use and automatically retracts into the device in a safe position after use.
A hand-held manual instrument intended to be used for controlled skin puncture to obtain a capillary blood specimen (e.g., performed by a diabetic patient) typically at the fingertip or ear lobe. It is used with a sterile, disposable lancet tip, and has a manually-powered mechanism (e.g., spring-loaded) which enables the tip to puncture to a predetermined depth and blood subsequently to be squeezed out of the puncture site. This is a reusable device.
