Test Strip Reader Protection

Problem: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

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.
