Abstract
A sensor module is disclosed herein. The sensor module includes a skin piercing member carried by the carrier. The skin piercing member has a skin piercing end positioned opposite from a base end. The skin piercing member defines a lumen that extends along the central longitudinal axis from the skin piercing end toward the base end and the lumen having a lumen axis. The sensor module also includes a blood sample analysis zone located entirely within the lumen of the skin piercing member and a capillary flow stop for stopping capillary flow at a predetermined location within the lumen of the skin piercing member. The sensor module includes an elongated working electrode positioned within the lumen. The working electrode has a length that extends along the lumen axis where at least a section of the working electrode is positioned within the analysis zone. The working electrode includes sensing chemistry.
