ABSTRACT:
A system for non-invasively withdrawing and monitoring bodily fluids from the skin of a user is provided. The system apparatus includes a portable hand-held housing (16) having an internal chamber (9). Fluid displacement mechanism (1) is removably coupled to the housing (16) for directing the fluid from the skin into the internal chamber (9). The fluid displacement mechanism (1) has a first end (20) adapted to be located on an outer surface of the skin and an opposing second end (21) located internal the housing (16). Vacuum pump (10) in the housing (16) non-invasively extracts the fluid from the skin and draws the extracted fluid into the internal chamber (9) through the fluid displacement mechanism (1). A monitoring mechanism within the internal chamber (9) monitors the fluid drawn into the chamber (9).
