Blood glucose meter

The present invention relates to a biosensor. The biosensor includes a support substrate, an electrically conductive coating positioned on the support substrate, the coating being formed to define electrodes and a code pattern, wherein there is sufficient contrast between the conductive coating and the substrate such that the code pattern is discernible, and a cover cooperating with the support substrate to define a channel. At least a portion of the electrodes are positioned in the channel.

Biosensor

The present invention relates to a method of forming a biosensor. The method includes providing a substrate coated with a electrically conductive material, ablating the electrically conductive material to form electrodes and a code pattern, wherein there is sufficient contrast between the conductive coating and the substrate such that the code pattern is discernible, and applying a reagent to at least one of the electrodes.

Method of making a biosensor

An instrument ( ) has a well ( ) for receiving a dry cell ( ), an opening ( ) through which a first connector ( ) is exposed to the well ( ), and a boss ( ) adjacent the opening ( ). The boss ( ) precludes the wrong terminal of the dry cell ( ) from engaging the first connector ( ) when the dry cell ( ) is inserted into the well ( ) in incorrect orientation. A second connector ( ) includes a base ( ), a first leg ( ) resiliently connected to and extending away from the base portion, a second leg ( ) resiliently connected to and extending away from the first leg ( ), and a third leg ( ) resiliently connected to and extending away from the second leg ( ) and toward the first leg ( ). A display ( ) for the instrument ( ) has a lens ( ) having a substantially transparent substrate with a polyurethane coating. The instrument housing has first and second portions. At least one locator pin ( ) extends from one ( ) of the housing portions and at least one complementary socket ( ) extends from the other ( ) of the housing portions for receiving the pin ( ) to maintain the first ( ) and second ( ) portions in assembled orientation.
