SWEAT ANALYTE TESTING COMPONENTS AND METHODS

摘要

Embodiments of the invention include adhesive electrode sets and related methods. In an embodiment, the invention includes an adhesive electrode set. The adhesive electrode set can include a first pad, a first electrode, a first electrical contact, a first conductive lead, a second pad, a second electrode, a second electrical contact, a second conductive lead, a flexible strip, and an adhesive material. The flexible strip can include a fold. The flexible strip can be configured to allow the distance between the first pad and the second pad to increase through flexion of the flexible strip. In an embodiment, the invention includes an analyte receiving test patch. The analyte receiving test patch can include a skin contact layer, a wick, an absorbent layer, a barrier film layer, and an adhesive frame. Other embodiments are also included herein.

主权项

1. An adhesive electrode set comprising:
a first pad, the pad comprising a flexible substrate and defining a first aperture; a first electrode aligned with the first aperture; a first electrical contact; a first conductive lead providing electrical communication between the first electrode and the first electrical contact; a second pad, the pad comprising a flexible substrate and defining a second aperture; a second electrode aligned with the second aperture; a second electrical contact; a second conductive lead providing electrical communication between the second electrode and the second electrical contact; a flexible strip connecting the first pad and the second pad, the first and second conductive leads attached to the flexible strip, the flexible strip comprising a fold and configured to allow the distance between the first pad and the second pad increase through unfolding of the fold in the flexible strip; and an adhesive material disposed under the first pad and the second pad.
