Definitions
- This invention relates to information carriers such as read-only-memory (ROM) integrated circuit chips, plug-in modules and the like. It is disclosed in the context of a clinical or diagnostic instrument. However, it is believed that the invention has utility in other fields as well.
- ROM read-only-memory
- Low-cost, disposable, electronically encoded information carriers have typically employed optical barcode (U.S. Patent 4,510,383), magnetizable film (European Patent Application 132 790 A), perforated strip (U.S. Patent 3,526,480), fluorogens which can be scanned by a fluorescent scanning device (U.S. Patent 3,551,295), or electrically conductive medium on a carrier foil (U.S. Patent 4,714,874) for imparting information which can be transmitted to instrumentation.
- Higher cost, non-disposable information carriers utilizing memory integrated circuits have been employed in the video game and calculator industries in the form of printed circuit carriers and plastic cartridge enclosures. There is, for example, the system illustrated in U.S. Patent 4,480,835.
- test chemistries In meters for calculating and displaying the results of reactions of medically significant components (e.g., glucose) of biological sera (e.g., blood, urine or the like) with test chemistries, it is well known that the test chemistries are not precisely reproducible from batch to batch. Similarly, the substrates which typically carry, or are impregnated with, the test chemistries can vary from batch to batch. If the results of reactions are to be determined visually or by optical means, slight differences in the colors of the substrates from batch to batch can cause errors in the interpretation of the results. In manual/visual interpretations, a chart typically is provided with each package of substrates impregnated with the test chemistry.
- medically significant components e.g., glucose
- biological sera e.g., blood, urine or the like
- This chart is prepared for the particular substrate/test chemistry combination in the package so that the likelihood of errors between the results embodied in the chart and the actual performance of the substrate/test chemistry in the package is very low.
- many modern meters of the types described herein include automatic optical (e.g., reflectance) test chemistry readers which do not rely upon a person's ability to match, for example, the colors of reaction products on a test strip to colors on a chart provided with the package in which the test strip was supplied.
- This calibration information can be, for example, three data points on the reflectance curve generated by reagents of known concentration reacted with the test chemistry with which the test strips in the package are impregnated.
- entering this calibration information may be no more difficult than setting the time on a conventional digital watch.
- the user may only use one package of test strips a month or so, the user typically will have to keep the instructions for entering the calibration information handy and refer to them every month or so to recalibrate the meter accurately.
- the invention contemplates that a read-only-memory or some other type of information carrier containing information pertinent to the optical characteristics of a particular batch of substrate/test chemistry be provided with each package of the substrate/test chemistry made up from that batch.
- the information carrier can be a disposable device.
- the information carrier can include erasable and programmable read-only-memory of some type which could be returned to the manufacturer of the substrate/test chemistry, erased and reprogrammed with information pertinent to a subsequent batch and recycled in this manner.

- Fig. 6 illustrates a top plan view of the information carrier illustrated in Fig. 5.
- FIG. 1 an automatic reading blood glucose meter 20 for reading test strips 22 onto which droplets of blood have been placed is illustrated. Technologies and procedures for the placement of blood droplets on the strips 22, timing the reaction of the glucose in the blood droplets, and removing the blood from the strips 22 to halt the reaction of the glucose with the chemistries with which the strips 22 are treated are all well known and will not be discussed in any greater detail here. Meters of the type of described meter 20 are also well known and will not be further discussed here except to mention an example of such meters, the model ACCU-CHEK ⁇ II meter available from Boehringer Mannheim Diagnostics, 9115 Hague Road, Indianapolis, Indiana 46250.
- Meter 20 includes a slot 24 into which a reacted test strip 22 is inserted for reading, a display 26 and one or more buttons 28 which control the operation of the meter 20.
- the illustrated meter 20 also includes a socket 30 including an opening 32 accessible through one open end 34 of the socket 30 and into which information carriers 36 can selectively be inserted longitudinally.
- an information carrier 36 carrying meter 20-calibrating information pertinent to a particular package of test strips 22 will be provided with that package of test strips.
- the calibration information will be read from the information carrier 36 by the meter 20 to enhance the accuracy of the meter 20*s displayed result.
- the information carrier 36 can be discarded or returned to the manufacturer for reprogramming.
- a new information carrier 36 containing calibration information pertinent to a new package of test strips 22 will be provided with that new package of test strips 22.
- the configurations of the socket 30 and information carrier 36 are better illustrated in Figs. 2-3. Both are illustratively constructed from high-impact injection molded resins.
- the socket 30 is constructed of an upper portion 40 and a lower portion 42. Upper portion 40 is provided with two diagonally extending rows 44, 46 of four openings 50 each. Row 44 is angled generally toward a corner 52 of upper portion 40 and row 46 is angled generally toward a corner 54 thereof.
- Eight substantially equal length, formed resilient wire, electrical contacts 56 include portions 58 which extend through respective openings 50 and portions 60 which extend rearwardly generally longitudinally of the socket 30, curving slightly downwardly and then upwardly adjacent their distal ends 62. The portions 58 can be connected to circuitry within meter 20 at the points at which they extend from socket upper portion 40.
- each portion 58 and 60 form between them an angle slightly greater than ninety degrees, for example, one hundred five degrees. Owing to this configuration and to the resiliency of the wire from which contacts 56 are constructed, the distal ends 62 of portions 60 are biased generally transversely of the longitudinal extent of socket 30 toward lower portion 42.
- Lower portion 42 includes a bottom wall 64 and two longitudinally extending sidewalls 66 which extend perpendicularly upward from the opposite longitudinal edges 68 of bottom wall 64.
- the upper and lower portions 40, 42 of socket 30 are joined by screws 70 which project through openings provided therefor adjacent the corners of upper portion 40 and into respective, aligned threaded holes in the top edges of sidewalls 66.
- Information carrier 36 includes an eight conductor (four conductors per side edge) read-only-memory integrated circuit chip 71 programmed with calibration information pertinent to a particular package of test strips. Chip 71 is mounted in a cavity 72 provided therefor in the upper surface 74 of carrier 36. Carrier 36 also includes grooves 80, 82, 84, 86, 88, 90, 92, 94 which extend longitudinally thereof and open into end wall 96 of carrier 36.

- leads 110, 112, 114, 116 and 118, 120, 122, 124 can be trimmed in the same diagonal patterns as rows 44, 46.
- Such diagonal trimming of leads 110, 112, 114, 116, 118, 120, 122, 124 further reduces the likelihood of inadvertent contact between electrical contacts 56 and the ones of leads 110, 112, 114, 116, 118, 120, 122, 124 with which respective contacts 56 are not to come into contact when carrier 36 is inserted fully into its use orientation in socket 30.
- the outer end 140 of carrier 36 is provided with transversely extending grooves 142 which aid in gripping the carrier 36, for example, between the thumb and forefinger of the user for insertion of the carrier 36 into, and removal of carrier 36 from, socket 30.
- Semicircular cutouts 144 at the outer ends of upper and lower socket portions 40, 42 also aid insertion and removal.
- a fillet 146 is provided at the base of each wall 66 of lower portion 42 where wall 66 joins bottom wall 64.
- Complementary chamfers 148 of a length sufficient to accommodate fillets 146 are provided along the bottom edges of carrier 36.
- the back or inner edge 150 of upper portion 40 is provided with downwardly extending tabs 152 which also help reduce the likelihood of overinsertion of carrier 36 into socket 30.

- Lower portion 242 includes a bottom wall 264 and two longitudinally extending sidewalls 266 which extend perpendicularly upward from the opposite longitudinal edges 268 of bottom wall 264.
- the upper and lower portions 240, 242 of socket 230 are joined by screws 270 which project through openings provided therefor adjacent the corners of lower portion 242 and into respective, aligned threaded holes in the upper portion 240.
- Information carrier 236 includes an eight conductor (four conductors per side edge) read-only-memory integrated circuit chip 271 programmed with calibration information pertinent to a particular package of test strips. Chip 271 is mounted in a cavity 272 provided therefor in the upper surface 274 of carrier 236. Carrier 236 also includes grooves 280, 282, 284, 286, 288, 290, 292, 294 which extend longitudinally thereof and open into end wall 296 of carrier 236. Walls 298, 300, 302, 304, 306, 308 are thus formed between adjacent grooves 280, 282; 282, 284; 284, 286; 288, 290; 290, 292; and 292, 294, respectively.
- Grooves 280, 282, 284, 286, 288, 290, 292, 294 terminate along surface 274 of carrier 236 generally along the same diagonals as rows 244, 246 do along upper portion 240.
- the leads 310, 312, 314, 316, 318, 320, 322, 324 of chip 271 terminate in grooves 280, 282, 284, 286, 288, 290, 292, 294, respectively, with openings 326 being provided in walls 298, 304 for leads 312, 320, openings 328 being provided in walls 298, 300, 304, 306 for leads 314, 322, and openings 330 being provided in walls 298, 300, 302, 304, 306, 308 for leads 316, 324.

- a standard multiple-sourced, commercially available integrated circuit is modified by automated machinery and inserted into a single, low-cost, mass producible, injection molded plastic carrier in such a manner as to provide electrostatic discharge protection, with the IC leads oriented for contact by a plurality of electrical contacts in a mating socket which typically is mounted on a printed circuit board.
- the information carrier package of the present invention is a single piece, low cost, mass producible, injection molded plastic part. Previous designs have utilized multiple parts, materials, and complex manufacturing processes.
- the integrated circuit used is packaged in an industry standard dual in-line package, which is installed in the carrier by means of a low cost method, for example, press-fitting, as opposed to the traditional solder-in-place method, or custom-manufactured integrated circuits.
- the carrier design affords electrostatic discharge protection to the IC, a feature not available in open contact designs, and at less cost and complexity than shutter-type devices. The capacity or function of the unit can be easily changed by installing a different IC into the carrier.
- Data transfer with the device is by means of the simplest digital interface, permitting its use in low-cost, portable, battery-operated instruments.
- the present invention provides direct contact between a chip and the meter I/O.
- Most of the prior art puts the chip on a printed circuit board which is in turn connected with the computer.
- the present invention provides wiping contact between the chip I/O and the meter I/O.
- the prior art mostly involves game cartridges or special program cartridges for hand-held computers.
- the program cartridges or game cartridges typically have male contacts on the edge of a printed circuit board which communicate with female contacts in the body of the game or computer. Normally, there is no direct contact between the chip and the computer.
- Most prior art techniques require the use of complex reading electronics such as optical or magnetic readers and correspondingly complex software algorithms.
- the information storage density with the present invention is higher than most competing technologies. These differences permit application of the device as a disposable information carrier, not previously realizable because of higher prior art costs.
