Patent Images
1. A glucose sensor package system for storing and transporting a glucose sensor, the system comprising:
- at least one glucose sensor;
a protective package having an interior to hold the at least one glucose sensor in the interior of the protective package; and
a temperature exposure indicator to determine if the protective package has been exposed to an exposure temperature relative to a predetermined temperature value.
