Abstract

See full text

The present invention may be used in test strips for measuring an analyte or indicator such as glucose in a physiological fluid such as blood, interstitial fluid, or urine. The present invention also relates to test strips incorporating an integrated lance such as a needle, blade, or other sharp or skin puncturing device. In particular, in one embodiment of the present invention, a fused link is incorporated into the test strip. The fused link may be destroyed once the test is completed, preventing reuse of the strip.
