Devices, systems and methods for the containment and use of liquid solutions
First Claim
1. A system for use in evaluating the performance of a physiological fluid sampling and analyte concentration measurement system, comprising:
- a microneedle having a fluid transfer channel;
at least one containment structure comprising a first layer and a second layer sealed together to form a hermetically sealed cavity there between wherein a surface area of contact between said first and second layers define a frame about a perimeter of said cavity, and wherein said first layer comprises a flexible material, has a thickness in the range from about 0.1 mm to about 1.0 mm and is configured to be penetrable by said microneedle wherein said microneedle is configured to penetrate said first layer without tearing or rupturing said first layer, and wherein said second layer comprises a rigid material; and
a control solution contained within said cavity, said control solution configured to mimic said physiological fluid.
