Abstract
A sensor, and methods of making, for determining the concentration of an analyte, such as glucose, in a biological fluid such as blood or serum, using techniques such as coulometry, amperometry, and potentiometry. The sensor includes a working electrode and a counter electrode, and may include an insertion monitoring trace to determine correct positioning of the sensor in a connector. The sensor is calibration-adjusted, eliminating the need for a user to enter a calibration code or for the meter to read a calibration code.

23. A method of making a test sensor adapted to assist in determining the concentration of an analyte in a fluid sample, the method comprising the acts of:
-
providing a lid; providing a base; attaching the lid to the base to form an attached lid-base structure, the lid-base structure having a first end adapted to receive the fluid sample and a second opposing end adapted to be placed into a meter; assigning auto-calibration information to the lid-base structure; and forming the sensor such that the shape of the sensor corresponds to the auto-calibration information. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26)

27. A method of making a test sensor adapted to assist in determining the concentration of an analyte in a fluid sample, the method comprising the acts of:
-
providing a lid; providing a base; attaching the lid to the base to form an attached lid-base structure, the lid-base structure having a first end adapted to receive the fluid sample and a second opposing end adapted to be placed into a meter; assigning auto-calibration information to the lid-base structure; and forming at least one cutout on the sensor such that the shape, dimensions and/or number of the at least one cutout corresponds to the program auto-calibration number. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30)

-
providing a lid; providing a base; attaching the lid to the base to form an attached lid-base structure, the lid-base structure having a first end adapted to receive the fluid sample and a second opposing end adapted to be placed into a meter; assigning auto-calibration information to the lid-base structure; and forming at least one partial cutout on the sensor such that the shape, dimensions and/or number of the at least one partial cutout corresponds to the program auto-calibration number. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34)
