Abstract
The present invention relates to a biosensor. The biosensor includes a support substrate, an electrically conductive coating positioned on the support substrate, the coating being formed to define electrodes and a code pattern, wherein there is sufficient contrast between the conductive coating and the substrate such that the code pattern is discernible, and a cover cooperating with the support substrate to define a channel. At least a portion of the electrodes are positioned in the channel.

92. A system comprising:
- a test meter including a connector operatively connected to electronics of the meter and having a plurality of contact pairs provided in the connector, and a biosensor configured for insertion into the test meter for operatively attaching the biosensor to the electronics, the biosensor comprising a code pattern formed thereon, the code pattern comprising a two-dimensional array of a plurality of possible pad locations wherein at least one of the possible pad locations comprises a pad having electrical continuity, wherein the plurality of contact pairs in the connector is configured so that there is one contact pair aligned with each possible pad location once the biosensor is inserted into the test meter, and wherein the electronics are configured to perform a continuity query at each possible pad location only when the biosensor is fully inserted into the connector in order to determine the presence or absence of a pad at each possible pad location.
