Abstract

The present invention concerns a measuring device, notably for measuring the level of glucose in blood, intended to be used with a removable sensor comprising at least one active zone. In particular, the invention concerns the electrical connection between the measuring device and the removable sensor. Each electrical contact surface of the removable sensor is connected to two electrical contact organs to enable the condition of the electrical contacts between these electrical contact organs and the corresponding contact surfaces to be checked before a measurement is carried out.
