TECHNIQUES FOR USE WITH A NAIL PENETRATION DEVICE

WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/073239

A3

Apparatus and methods are described for generating a hole in a subject's nail. A nail penetration device (20) has a nail-contacting surface (26), a first electrode (29) being disposed on the surface. A skin-contact sensor unit (27) detects contact between the surface and the nail bed, the sensor unit including a pair of second electrodes (31) disposable on the subject's skin. A control unit (33) generates a hole in the subject's nail by moving the surface, while the surface is in contact with the nail. The control unit drives current having a given set of parameters via the first electrode, and detects a voltage between the second electrodes. The control unit does not move the surface, in response to detecting a change in the voltage between the second electrodes that is indicative of the current having travelled to the pair of second electrodes.
