    摘要: An analyte test strip (e.g., an electrochemical-based analyte test strip for determining glucose in a bodily fluid sample) for use with a test meter includes a first insulating layer and a electrically conductive layer disposed on the first insulating layer. The electrically conductive layer includes at least one electrode portion and at least one electrical contact pad configured for an electrical connector pin of a test meter to travel therealong during insertion of the analyte test strip into the test meter. In addition, the electrical contact pad is in electrical communication with the electrode portion. The analyte test strip also includes at least one meter identification feature (such as stripes of visually transparent material) disposed on the electrical contact pad such that the electrical connector pin of the test meter travels across the meter identification feature during insertion of the analyte test strip into the test meter. The analyte test strip further includes a second insulating layer disposed above the first insulating layer and a patterned spacer layer positioned between the first insulating layer and the electrically conductive layer that defines a sample-receiving chamber therein. The electrical contact pad of the analyte test strip has a predetermined contact electrical characteristic value and the meter identification feature has a predetermined identification feature electrical characteristic value that is dissimilar from the predetermined contact electrical characteristic.

    摘要: An analyte test strip (30) is provided that includes a substrate (5), electrically conductive material (50) and an isolated portion (52,54,56) of the electrically conductive material. The substrate has a generally planar surface that extends from a first end (3) to a second end (4). The electrically conductive material is disposed on the generally planar surface to define a plurality of electrodes (10,12,14) spaced apart from each other. The isolated portion of the electrically conductive material is disposed between at least two electrodes so that the isolated portion is not in electrical communication with the plurality of electrodes.

    摘要: A method of auto-calibrating a meter is provided herein. The method can include disposing a sensor within a sensor dispenser associated with a tag element wherein the tag element is configured to store a plurality of sensor-specific information as well as communicate the information to a meter. Next, the method can include placing the sensor dispenser into communication with a meter which is configured to receive and retain a sensor from the sensor dispenser, and also configured to receive the sensor-specific information from the tag element thereby allowing the meter to perform an auto-calibration procedure which is at least partially dependent upon the sensor-specific information. Similarly, a system for auto-calibrating a meter is also provided herein. Additionally, various embodiments of a meter and various embodiments a sensor dispenser are also provided herein.
