Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide magnetic lancet devices and methods for driving a lancet. For example, a magnetic lancet device may include a driving mechanism having a plurality of magnets and a lancet coupled to the driving mechanism. A magnetic interaction between the plurality of magnets is configured to drive the lancet from an engaged position to a penetrating position.

Claims (6)

1 - 30 . (canceled)

31 . A driving mechanism for driving an object comprising:

a plurality of magnets; and

a guide tube,

wherein at least one of the plurality of magnets is coupled to the guide tube, wherein at least one of the plurality of magnets comprises a carrier magnet coupled to an object and positioned within the guide tube, and wherein a magnetic interaction between the at least one magnet of the guide tube and the carrier magnet is configured to drive the object from the engaged position to the penetrating position.

32 . The driving mechanism according to claim 31 , wherein the magnetic interaction between the plurality of magnets is configured to be a magnetic repulse interaction for driving the object from the engaged position to the penetrating position.
