| 摘要 |
Test strips and monitoring devices for the electrochemical analysis of analytes are disclosed. An illustrative test strip may include first and second electrodes, offset relative to one another with respect to an insertion end of the test strip. The monitoring device may have a stop and electrical contacts configured to position the test strip such that the offset electrodes are in contact with the electrical contacts of the monitor. In some cases, the insertion end of the test strip and the stop of the monitoring device include one or more features to key the insertion end of the test strip with the stop. Also, one or more programmable devices may be provided on or in the test strip for providing information and/or calibration data to the monitoring device when inserted into the monitoring device. In some embodiments, a monitoring device may be provided that includes a removable Sharps container for storing used test strips. |
