Test strip device and related methods thereof
First Claim
1. An electrochemical biosensor test strip device for determining the amount of an analyte in a liquid sample received from a subject, wherein said device comprises:
- a) a substrate having a liquid sampling end and an electrical contact end;
b) a circuit disposed in communication with said substrate;
c) a reaction area formed at said liquid sampling end of said substrate;
d) an interface area located at the liquid sampling end of said substrate;
e) a lancet having a pointed end and an opposite end, whereby said opposite end of said lancet is disposed on said substrate and located at said reaction area; and
wherein said electrical contact end of said substrate and said liquid sampling end of said substrate are configured to be able to fold over or pivot relative to each other such that said electrical end of said substrate folds over said liquid sampling end of said substrate so as to cover said lancet.

Abstract
An electrochemical biosensor test strip device and compatible meter or processor for determining the amount of an analyte in a liquid sample received from a subject. The device may include: a substrate having a liquid sampling end and an electrical contact end; a circuit disposed in communication with the substrate; a reaction area formed at the liquid sampling end of the substrate; and a lancet having a pointed end and an opposite end, whereby the opposite end of the lancet is disposed in communication with the substrate and located at the reaction area. The device may also include an interface area that may be separate or integrated as part the reaction area (or the reaction area may be integrated with interaction area).
