Abstract
A portable DS device includes a device housing, device-side electrical contacts, a computing system and a removable sensor receiver assembly. The device housing includes a removable sensor receiver compartment. The device-side electrical contacts are positioned in or adjacent to the removable sensor receiver compartment. The computing system is in communication with the device-side electrical contacts and includes an impedance analyzer. The removable sensor receiver assembly includes a removable sensor receiver housing selectively receivable in and removable from the removable sensor receiver compartment. The removable sensor receiver housing includes a fluid sensing apparatus receiving section that receives a fluid sensing apparatus in which a fluid to be tested is loaded. The removable sensor receiver assembly provides for an electrical connection between the associated fluid sensing apparatus and the device-side electrical contact when the removable sensor receiver housing is received in the removable sensor receiver compartment.
