Devices associated with on-body analyte sensor units are disclosed. These devices include any of packaging and/or loading systems, applicators and elements of the on-body sensor units themselves. Also, various approaches to connecting electrochemical analyte sensors to and/or within associated on-body analyte sensor units are disclosed. The connector approaches variously involve the use of unique sensor and ancillary element arrangements to facilitate assembly of separate electronics assemblies and sensor elements that are kept apart until the end user brings them together.

An automated method of evaluating a collected fluid sample includes: filling a sample cavity with the collected fluid sample; adding a buffer solution; separating the collected fluid sample into a first portion and a second portion; mixing the second portion with tagged antibodies; removing leftover tagged antibodies; and measuring a difference between the first portion and the second portion. A sample collection and testing device includes: a reference cavity comprising a reference fluid sample; a test cavity comprising a test fluid sample; a reference measurement element associated with the reference cavity; and a test measurement element associated with the test cavity. A method of evaluating a collected fluid sample including: separating the sample; pumping a first portion to a first measurement cavity; adding a solution to a second portion and pumping the mixture to a second measurement cavity; and measuring a charge difference between the first and second measurement cavities.

The present application provides a preoperative detection method and a postoperative detection method for neuromapping, comprising releasing an electrical signal towards the renal artery blood vessel on one lateral side of the body of the patient by the electrode element; monitoring a heart rate by an electrocardiogram monitoring module, and monitoring a blood pressure change in said another renal artery blood vessel on the other lateral side of the body of the patient by the pressure sensor, and determining a nerve activity degree of the patient by judging whether the heart rate and the blood pressure change reach certain thresholds and making determinations in relation to the nerve activity degree so as to screen out the patients with an overactive sympathetic nerve, and a surgical effect of a denervation surgery can also be evaluated before or after the surgery, and can be used to determine whether to perform an ultrasonic ablation again.

A blood glucose monitoring device includes a container, blood glucose test strips and a glucometer. The container includes a body and a cap. The cap or the body has thereon a rewritable signal component preconfigured with a test strip information. The test strip information includes traceability of the blood glucose test strips. The rewritable signal component sends by wireless communication technology an electronic signal carrying the test strip information. The glucometer includes a casing, processing module built-in with a comparison data, control panel, test slot, and signal processing component. The signal processing component receives the electronic signal of the container by the wireless communication technology. The processing module determines whether the test strip information matches the comparison data and creates a container-opened message when the determination is affirmative, thereby allowing the blood glucose test strips to be for use by the glucometer.

A system for confirmation of fluid delivery to a patient at the clinical point of use is provided. The system includes a wearable electronic device. The wearable electronic device has a housing; at least one imaging sensor associated with the housing; a data transmission interface; a data reporting accessory for providing data to the user; a microprocessor for managing the at least one imaging sensor, the data transmission interface, and the data reporting accessory; and a program for acquiring and processing images from the at least one imaging sensor. The system further includes a fluid delivery apparatus; and one or more identification tags attached to or integrally formed with the fluid delivery apparatus. The program processes an image captured by the at least one imaging sensor to identify the one or more identification tags and acquires fluid delivery apparatus information from the one or more identification tags.

A device for facilitating the testing of a fluid sample on a test strip includes a housing containing a loading receptacle, a support member, a disposal receptacle, a lancet device and a sensor device. The loading receptacle is adapted to receive the test strip. The support member is adapted to support the test strip. The disposal receptacle is adapted to hold the test strip. The sensor device is adapted to analyze the fluid sample. The device further includes a strip control assembly that is adapted to move the test strip from a first position in the loading receptacle to a second position on the support member, and from the second position to a third position in the disposal receptacle. The device may include a sample door that provides access to the test strip in the second position wherein the test strip is operatively engaged with the sensor device.
