An electrostatic discharge (ESD) event caused when the user inserts a test strip into the glucose monitor can cause catastrophic or latent damage to the sensor's circuitry.
Solution: PESD
Extremely low capacitance ESD protection devices (PESD) help shunt ESD away from sensitive circuitry in electronic devices without inducing signal distortion.
