Abstract
A fluid assembly for a bioelectrode for use in a drug delivery device and a method for using such an assembly. The fluid assembly includes a reservoir for containing a fluid, and a barrier member for securing the fluid therein. The reservoir includes a breaking component positioned therewithin for breaking at least a portion of the barrier member upon application of a downward force to the reservoir. The breaking component is constructed from a material which is substantially chemically non-reactive relative to the fluid to be retained in the reservoir, the interior surface of the reservoir itself, and to at least that portion of the barrier member operatively in contact with the fluid.
