Appl. No.:

15/281563

Inventors:

- Inverness, GB
Jonathan NELSON - Wayne PA, US
Alistair LONGMUIR - Inverness, GB

International Classification:

G01N 27/327
G01N 33/49
G01N 33/487

Abstract:

A hand-held test meter for use with an analytical test strip (such as an electrochemical-based analytical test strip) for the determination of an analyte (e.g., glucose) in a bodily fluid sample, the hand-held test meter including a housing with an analytical test strip contact pressure feature, a printed circuit board (PCB) with at least one solder bump disposed in the housing. The housing of the hand-held test meter is configured for the insertion of an analytical test strip therein. In addition, the analytical test strip contact pressure feature is configured to operatively apply pressure on the inserted analytical test strip such that at least one electrical contact of the inserted analytical test strip is operably pressed against the solder bump, thereby creating a direct operable electrical connection between the inserted analytical test strip and the solder bump of the PCB.

Abstract:

An analyte measurement system includes a processor connected to a biosensor providing analyte data corresponding to an analyte level of a fluid sample. A user interface provides a menu of functions to a user and successively receives a plurality of menu choices, which the processor records. A storage device holds data defining a first action criterion. The processor compares the menu choices to the first action criterion. When the stored menu choices satisfy the first action criterion, the processor can automatically add a first additional function to the menu of functions, or can automatically presents a reward token via the user interface. The system can also include a housing holding the user interface, the storage device, and the processor. Methods are also disclosed.
