PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrochemical biosensor having a code pattern as a means for identifying a biosensor. SOLUTION: The biosensor includes a support substrate, and an electrically conductive coating arranged on the support substrate. The coating is formed to define electrodes and a means for identifying the biosensor. There is sufficient contrast between the conductive coating and the substrate such that the identifying means can identify. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrochemical biosensor having a code pattern as a means for identifying the biosensor. SOLUTION: This biosensor comprises a supporting base body and conductive coating arranged on the supporting base body. The coating is formed to determine an electrode and a means for identifying the biosensor, and sufficient contrast exists between the conductive coating and the supporting base body to make the identifying means identifiable.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for adjusting the delivery times of an insulin delivery profile of an insulin pump, wherein the insulin pump is operable to automatically deliver insulin to a person having diabetes based on an operating time of the internal clock and a delivery time of an insulin delivery profile. The method may comprise receiving a local time zone time from an external local clock, determining whether the operating time of the internal clock differs from the local time zone time by at least a first predetermined amount of time, requesting the person provide a time adjustment value when the operating time of the internal clock differs from the local time zone time by at least the first predetermined amount of time, receiving the time adjustment value from the person, and adjusting the delivery times of the insulin delivery profile based on the time adjustment value when received.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a biosensor. The biosensor includes a suppo rt 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 contras t 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 porti on of the electrodes are positioned in the channel.

Abstract:
An analyte test sensor strip is disclosed having information coded thereon as well as a method of forming the same and conducting an analyte test using the analyte test sensor strip. Information relating to an attribute of the strip or batch/lot of strips may be coded based on resistance values pertaining to electrical aspects of the strip, such as a primary resistive element and a secondary resistive element, the secondary resistive element having one of a plurality of states defined by a location of a closed tap to form a unique resistive path for the secondary resistive element that includes a portion of the primary resistive element depending on the location of the closed tap. The states may be formed on the strip by a secondary processing step in the manufacture of the strip in which a plurality of taps are severed leaving only one tap in a closed state.
Abstract:
Se describe una tira sensor de prueba de analito que tiene información codificada en la misma así como un método para formarla y conducir una prueba de analito utilizando la tira sensor de prueba. La información relacionada con un atributo de la tira o grupo/lote de tiras puede codificarse con base en los valores de resistencia pertenecientes a los aspectos eléctricos de la tira, tal como un elemento resistivo primario y un elemento resistivo secundario, el elemento resistivo secundario tiene uno de una pluralidad de estados definidos por un lugar de un conector cerrado para formar una trayectoria resistiva única para el elemento resistivo secundario que incluye una porción del elemento resistivo primario dependiendo de la ubicación del conector cerrado. Los estados pueden formarse en la tira por medio de un paso de procesamiento secundario en la fabricación de la tira en donde una pluralidad de conectores se separa dejando solamente un conector en estado cerrado.
