Abstract
A method of making a multiple use analyte sensing assembly. The method includes placing a coated wire analyte sensing assembly on an article having a surface that defines a set of pockets so that the wire extends into each pocket. The coated wire is then typically covered by a layer of insulation material between pockets, either by placing an apertured insulation material layer over the pockets so that the apertures correspond to the pockets or by placing a liquid curable insulation material over the coated wire between pockets.
Claims17
A method of making a multiple use analyte sensing assembly, comprising:
- providing an article having a surface that defines a set of pockets;
- providing an analyte detection coated wire assembly;
- and
- placing said wire assembly on said article so that said wire assembly traverses at least a plurality of pockets of said set of pockets, wherein said wire assembly traverses said plurality of pockets by being suspended over each of said plurality of pockets.
A multiple use analyte sensing assembly, comprising:
- an article having a surface that defines a set of pockets for collecting a sample containing analyte, and defining a pocket assembly for each pocket of said set of pockets, each said pocket assembly including:
- an analyte sensing active electrode;
- a reference electrode;
- and
- a lancet;
- wherein a plurality of said analyte sensing active electrodes are formed from a single continuous conductive element;
- a housing having a housing aperture;
- and
- an article movement assembly adapted to move said article relative to said housing so that each said pocket assembly may be moved into alignment to said housing aperture.
A method of making a multiple use analyte sensing assembly, comprising:
- providing an article having a surface that defines a set of pockets;
- providing an analyte detection coated wire assembly;
- and
- placing said wire assembly on said article so that said wire assembly traverses at least a plurality of said pockets, wherein said article having a surface that defines a set of pockets also defines a slot between said pockets and wherein said wire assembly is threaded through said slot to intersect each said pocket.
A method of making a multiple use analyte sensing assembly, comprising:
- providing an article having a surface that defines a set of pockets;
- providing an analyte detection coated wire assembly;
- and
- placing said wire assembly on said article so that said wire assembly traverses at least a plurality of said pockets, wherein a liquid adhesive is applied to said coated wire assembly between each said pocket.
