    摘要: A method for measuring and managing an analyte (e.g., blood glucose) in a bodily fluid includes storing a therapeutic administration protocol in a memory module of an analyte measurement and management device and measuring the analyte in the bodily fluid sample using an analyte measurement module of the device. The method also includes calculating, with a processor module of the device, a recommended therapeutic agent dosage (for example, an insulin dosage) and a recommended administration time for user-activated delivery of the dosage by employing the therapeutic administration protocol. The method further includes displaying the recommended therapeutic agent dosage and administration time to a user on a visual display of the device, delivering a therapeutic agent dosage to the user via a user-activated therapeutic agent delivery device, and detecting the user-activated administration of the therapeutic agent using a delivery device communication module of the device. In addition, the method includes communicating the aforementioned detection to the processor module and/or memory module using the delivery device communication module. The method employs analyte measurement, memory, processor, and delivery device modules, as well as a visual display, and user interface that are integrated as a single hand-held unit.

    摘要: A capillary stop-flow junction located in a housing at an end of a capillary passageway used to transport a liquid and at the beginning of a non-capillary internal chamber in the housing, in which the stop-flow junction contains an improvement which comprises 1) means for selectively trapping a gas in the capillary passageway and non-capillary chamber, wherein when the means for trapping is activated and the liquid enters the capillary passageway, the gas is compressed by the liquid as the liquid flows through the capillary channel and stops flowing at the stop-flow junction; or 2) a stop-flow nozzle surrounding the capillary passageway and projecting into the chamber; or 3) the stop-flow junction being formed from a single housing body member; or 4) a rupture junction in the capillary pathway, wherein the rupture junction is a stop-flow junction providing less maximum available back pressure than the capillary stop-flow junction. Diluters capable of serial dilution that use the stop-flow junctions of the invention are also described.
