Abstract
A simple, disposable sensing device for sensing an analyte is housed in a single case. The sensing device can transmit sensor data to monitoring device(s). The sensing device includes: a case having a lower major wall adapted to be mounted against a patient's skin, and an upper opposing major wall; a sensor extending from the case and having a distal end sensitive to the analyte to produce an electrical signal, and a proximal end within the case having electrical contacts; a printed circuit board assembly within the case supported by one of the major walls to receive the electrical signal via the electrical contacts; and an elastomeric pad disposed in the case and biased by the other major wall to urge the proximal end of the sensor into contact with the printed circuit board assembly and maintain an electrical connection between the electrical contacts and the printed circuit board assembly.
