Description

FIG. 1A is a top, front, and left side perspective view of a reader of an analyte detection system according to an exemplary embodiment, showing one possible exemplary embodiment of a charger in dashed lines;

FIG. 1B is an exploded view thereof;

FIG. 1C is a left side view thereof;

FIG. 1D is a right side view thereof;

FIG. 1E is a top view thereof;

FIG. 1F is a bottom view thereof;

FIG. 1G is a front view thereof;

FIG. 1H is a rear view thereof;

FIG. 2A is a top, front, and left side perspective view of the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 1A, showing one possible exemplary embodiment of a charger, a cartridge, and a sample collection device in dashed lines;

FIG. 2B is an exploded view thereof;

FIG. 2C is a left side view thereof;

FIG. 2D is a right side view thereof;

FIG. 2E is a top view thereof;

FIG. 2F is a bottom view thereof;

FIG. 2G is a front view thereof; and,

FIG. 2H is a rear view thereof.

The ornamental design which is claimed is shown in solid lines in the drawings. The broken lines formed by dashes show unclaimed subject matter and form no part of the claimed design. Broken lines formed by unequal length dashes (i.e., dash-dot) define boundaries of the claimed design.

Claims

We claim the ornamental design for a reader of an analyte detection system, as shown and described.
