    Abstract: A hand-held test meter for use with an electrochemical-based analytical test strip in the determination of an analyte in a bodily fluid sample includes a housing, a micro-controller disposed in the housing, a test strip simulation passive circuit block disposed in the housing, and a strip port connector (“SPC”) configured to operationally receive an electrochemical-based analytical test. The test strip simulation passive circuit block is in electrical communication with the SPC and the SPC is configured in electrical communication with the micro-controller. In addition, the test strip simulation passive circuit block is configured to simulate insertion of an electrochemical-based analytical test strip into the SPC and also to simulate application of a bodily fluid sample to an electrochemical-based analytical test strip inserted into the SPC by presenting one or both of (i) an alternating current (AC) load to SPC; and (ii) a direct current (DC) load to the SPC.

    Abstract: A hand-held test meter for use with an analytical test strip in determining an analyte in a fluid sample includes a housing retaining a microcontroller block and a phase-shift-measurement block. The measurement block includes a signal-generation sub-block that provides an excitation voltage signal; an interface sub-block that receives the analytical test strip and permits applying the voltage excitation signal to the test strip to provide a resultant current signal; a transimpedance conversion sub-block that receives the resultant current signal and provides a resultant voltage signal; and a phase detector responsive to the resultant voltage signal and a reference signal. The microcontroller block successively provides 0°- and 90°-phase reference signals as the reference to the phase detector to measure in-phase and quadrature components and determine a phase shift corresponding to a fluid sample in the received analytical test strip.
