Analyte sensors and systems including retention tab and methods of manufacturing same

摘要

In some aspects, an analyte sensor is provided for detecting an analyte concentration level in a biological fluid sample. The analyte sensor has a base including a top and bottom side, a lid, and an attachment member including one or more retention tabs coupled proximate the top side so that the analyte sensor can be grasped by the sensor's top side. Manufacturing methods and systems adapted to use and dispense the analyte sensors are provided, as are numerous other aspects.

1. An analyte sensor, comprising:
a base including a top side and bottom side; a lid positioned proximate to the base on the top side; an attachment member positioned proximate to the top side, the attachment member configured to attach and secure the analyte sensor to an analyte meter, the attachment member including a tab spacer and one or more retention tabs that form at least a first grasping recess between the tab spacer and the one or more retention tabs adapted to receive a grasping tab of the analyte meter; a fluid-receiving channel having an opening adapted to receive a biological fluid sample; and a chemically-active region provided in the fluid-receiving channel.
