Abstract

See full text

. The penetrating member is at least partially co-located with the analyte sensor in the sample chamber. The sample chamber receives body fluid from a wound in tissue created by a penetrating member, and the analyte sensor determines analyte levels using a body fluid sample of less than about 1 microliter. A transport mechanism engages the cartridge. The penetrating member is operatively engaged with the penetrating member driver when moved into position by the transport mechanism. The driver provides the force to advance the penetrating member. A user interface on the housing displays information to a user.
