Publication number: 20040138544Abstract: A rapid response, single use analyte sensor, adapted to measure an analyte concentration in body fluid. The sensor includes a lancet and a body fluid trapping structure, adapted to trap body fluid on the skin. An electrochemical analyte measurement system measures the analyte concentration in the body fluid that is trapped on the surface of the skin, by the body fluid trapping structure. In one preferred embodiment, the body fluid trapping structure defines an interior volume of only 30 nanoliters of body fluid.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2003Publication date: July 15, 2004Inventors: W.

Publication number: 20040138541Abstract: A method of measuring an analyte concentration in body fluid in an animal body having skin and subcutaneous soft tissue that includes body fluid. The method comprises, introducing a portion of an analyte-measuring device into the subcutaneous soft tissue. The analyte-measuring device includes an analyte sensing element, having a sharpened distal end to facilitate introduction into the animal body. Additionally the sensing element has an indicating electrode that is adapted to be activated by electric power and to form a raw analyte measurement, when it is activated and in contact with the body fluid, in less than two minutes. The sensing device further has a reference electrode and an electric power and display device that is adapted to mate to the analyte-sensing element. The power and display device activates the analyte-sensing element by applying electric power to it.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2003Publication date: July 15, 2004Inventors: W.
