Patent ID: 7988917

Claim:
A system for determining the concentration of an analyte in a body fluid comprising: an analytical test element having an area with reagent chemistry for detecting the analyte in a body fluid by generating a measurement signal from the reaction of the analyte with the reagent chemistry; an instrument separate from said analytical test element, said instrument comprising an evaluation unit configured to evaluate the measurement signal and determine the concentration of the analyte in the body fluid, the analytical test element and the instrument being operatively connected in either a contacting or non-contacting manner; wherein said analytical test element comprises electrical components at least in part comprising polymer electronics, the electrical components on the analytical test element comprising at least two electrodes in contact with the reagent chemistry and a plurality of galvanically separated electronic circuits and a plurality of parallel transmitting modules configured for wireless transmission of data or data and energy, the instrument further comprising a plurality of parallel reading modules corresponding to said plurality of parallel transmitting modules configured for wireless reception of data or data and energy.
