Abstract:
1. An analyte monitoring device, comprising: an electrochemical sensor configured to produce one or more signals indicative of an analyte concentration of a sample; a housing comprising a port for receiving the electrochemical sensor; a port protector configured to contact across both a top surface and a bottom surface of the electrochemical sensor when the electrochemical sensor is received in the port, wherein the port protector includes an engagement feature to align and attach the port protector to the housing; a processor housed in the housing, wherein the processor is configured to process one or more signals produced by the electrochemical sensor and thereby determine the analyte concentration, and wherein the processor is configured to determine a dosage of medication based at least in part on the determined analyte concentration; and a display in communication with the processor, wherein the display is configured to display the determined dosage of medication.
