Publication number: 20160069832Abstract: An analytical test strip (“ATT”) for use with a test meter includes a first insulating layer, with a first insulating layer upper surface, and a first electrically conductive layer (“ECL”) disposed thereon. The first ECL includes a first electrode portion (“EP”) and an electrical contact pad in electrical communication with the first EP. The ATT also includes a patterned spacer layer disposed above the first ECL that includes (i) a distal portion defining a bodily fluid sample-receiving chamber therein that overlies the first EP and (ii) an insulating proximal portion with a second ECL disposed thereon. The second ECL includes an interlayer contact portion and an electrical contact pad. A third ECL of the ATT includes a second EP and a proximal portion that overlies the interlayer contact portion. The second EP is disposed overlying and exposed to the sample-receiving chamber in an opposing relationship to the first EP.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2015Publication date: March 10, 2016Inventors: Scott SLOSS, Russell BAIN, Graeme WEBSTER

Publication number: 20120312699Abstract: An analytical test strip and test meter combination for use in the determination of an analyte in a bodily fluid sample includes an analytical test strip and a test meter, and a method for determination thereof. The analytical test strip has an electrode, a first electrical contact pad in electrical communication with the electrode and configured to communicate an electrical response of the electrode to the test meter; and a second electrical contact pad in electrical communication with the electrode and configured to communicate an electrical response of the electrode to the test meter should the test meter be in electrical communication with the second electrical contact pad. In addition, the second electrical contact pad has electrical continuity with the first electrical contact pad and the first and second electrical contact pads are disposed in either of first and second predetermined spatial relationships to one another.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2011Publication date: December 13, 2012Applicant: Cilag GmbH InternationalInventors: Graeme WEBSTER, Peter TEMPLETON, David ELDER, Lawrence RITCHIE, James MOFFAT, Gavin MACFIE

Patent number: 8323467Abstract: A dual chamber, multi-analyte test strip has a first insulating layer, a first electrically conductive layer, with a first working electrode, disposed on the first insulating layer and a first patterned spacer layer positioned above the first electrically conductive layer. The first patterned spacer layer has a first sample-receiving chamber, with first and second end openings, defined therein that overlies the first working electrode. The test strip also includes a first counter/reference electrode layer that is exposed to the first sample receiving chamber and is in an opposing relationship to the first working electrode. The test strip further includes a counter/reference insulating layer disposed over the first counter/reference electrode layer and a second counter/reference electrode layer disposed on the counter/reference substrate. Also included in the test strip is a second patterned spacer layer that is positioned above the second counter/reference electrode layer.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2009Date of Patent: December 4, 2012Assignee: LifeScan Scotland LimitedInventors: Gavin MacFie, Graeme Webster, Marco F.
