40. A replaceable sensor port for use with an analyte meter, comprising:
-
a housing having a first member and a second member; an entry slot formed in the second member to receive an analyte sensor; an electrical interface disposed within an internal opening in the first member, wherein the electrical interface is electrically coupled to an analyte sensor when the sensor is received within the entry slot; a first sealing member extending around an edge of the second member, wherein the first sealing member provides a seal between the sensor port and an analyte meter when the sensor port is coupled to the analyte meter; and a plurality of electrical contacts extending from an exterior surface of the housing to electrically couple with the analyte meter. - View Dependent Claims (41, 42, 43, 44, 45)
