Method of forming an auto-calibration circuit or label
First Claim
1. A method of forming and using an auto-calibration circuit or label on a test sensor, the method comprising the acts of:
- providing a label or circuit, the label or circuit including a first layer, a second layer and a lamination portion, the second layer being located between the first layer and the lamination portion, the second layer including conductive material;
applying the label or circuit to the test sensor via the lamination portion; and
after applying the label or circuit to the test sensor, ablating portions of the second layer using a laser to form an auto-calibration pattern on the label or circuit, the first layer being located between the laser and the second layer during ablation in which the first layer is generally transparent to the ablation.

Abstract
A method of forming and using an auto-calibration circuit or label on a test sensor includes providing a label or circuit. The label or circuit includes a first layer, a second layer and a lamination portion. The second layer is located between the first layer and the lamination portion. The first layer includes polymeric material. The second layer includes conductive material. The label or circuit is applied to the test sensor via the lamination portion. After applying the label or circuit to the test sensor, portions of the second layer are ablated using a laser to form an auto-calibration pattern on the label or circuit.
