Abstract:
An analyte meter to detect an analyte concentration level in a bio-fluid sample may be cleaned and disinfected with a cleaning liquid without harming electrical and internal meter components. In some embodiments, the analyte meter is washable and immersable and may include a sealed sensor connector, sealed battery connector, and possibly a sealed USB connector that may be subjected to a cleaning liquid without the liquid entering an internal chamber of the analyte meter and contacting internal electronic components. In some embodiments, a sealed display screen and sealed keypad are provided such that liquids are prevented from entering the internal chamber. Manufacturing methods and systems utilizing the analyte sensors are provided, as are numerous other aspects.

Claim (Index 1):
An analyte meter, comprising:\n a meter housing having an internal chamber that is liquid impermeable, the meter housing having a recessed pocket; electronic components for carrying out analyte measurements, the electronic components residing within the internal chamber; and an analyte sensor electrical connector unit received in the recessed pocket, the analyte sensor electrical connector unit having a port entryway, a sensor port configured to receive an analyte sensor through the port entryway, at least two electrodes disposed in the sensor port coupled to the electronic components via a sealed connection, and at least one wash port separate from the port entryway; wherein:\n a fluid flow channel is formed between the at least one wash port and the port entryway such that application of a liquid onto the at least two electrodes does not adversely affect the analyte meter.
