Abstract

A lancing device comprises a lancet holder and a lancet-release mechanism. The lancet holder forms an aperture. The aperture is adapted to receive a lancet assembly therein. The lancet holder is adapted to move the lancet assembly between a resting position, a cocking position, and a puncture position. The lancet-release mechanism includes a release button located adjacent to and external from the lancing device and a beam attached to the release button. The beam extends into the lancing device and the lancet holder. The beam is adapted to engage the lancet assembly. The release button and attached beam are adapted to eject the lancet assembly from the lancet holder.
