Abstract: A diagnostic test strip comprising at least one electrically insulating layer; a conductive pattern formed on the base layer providing at least one electrode disposed on the base layer at a proximal region of the strip, electrical strip contacts disposed on the base layer at a distal region of the strip, conductive traces electrically connecting the electrodes to at least some of the electrical strip contacts, and a distinct distal conductive region provided distal to the electrical strip contacts, said conductive pattern comprising at least one region having a predetermined electrical resistance; a reagent layer contacting at least a portion of at least one electrode; wherein said predetermined electrical resistance at least partially forms distinct information readable to identify data particular to the test strip.

Abstract: A system for measuring a glucose level in a blood sample includes a test strip and a meter. The test strip includes a sample chamber, a working electrode, a counter electrode, fill-detect electrodes, and an auto-on conductor. A reagent layer is disposed in the sample chamber. The auto-on conductor causes the meter to wake up and perform a test strip sequence when the test strip is inserted in the meter. The meter uses the working and counter electrodes to initially detect the blood sample in the sample chamber and uses the fill-detect electrodes to check that the blood sample has mixed with the reagent layer. The meter applies an assay voltage between the working and counter electrodes and measures the resulting current. The meter calculates the glucose level based on the measured current and calibration data saved in memory from a removable data storage device associated with the test strip.

Abstract: A system for measuring a glucose level in a blood sample includes a test strip (10) and a meter. The test strip (10) includes a sample chamber, a working electrode (22), a counter electrode (24), fill-detect electrodes (28, 30), and an auto-on conductor (48). A reagent layer is disposed in the sample chamber. The auto-on conductor (48) causes the meter to wake up and perform a test strip sequence when the test strip (10) is inserted in the meter. The meter uses the working and counter electrodes (22, 24) to initially detect the blood sample in the sample chamber and uses the fill-detect electrodes (28, 30) to check that the blood sample has mixed with the reagent layer. The meter applies an assay voltage between the working and counter electrodes (22, 24) and measures the resulting current. The meter calculates the glucose level based on the measured current and calibration data saved in memory from a removable data storage device associated with the test strip (10).
