    Abstract: A method and system are provided to determine fill sufficiency of a biosensor test chamber by determining capacitance of the test chamber in which an electrochemical reaction is initiated in the test chamber and an oscillating voltage of a predetermined frequency is applied to the chamber. A phase angle between a current output and the oscillating voltage from the chamber is determined and the capacitance is calculated based on a product of the current output and a sine of the phase angle divided by a product of two times pi times the frequency and the voltage.

    Abstract: Described and illustrated herein are systems and exemplary methods of operating an analyte measurement system having a meter and a test strip. In one embodiment, the method may be achieved by applying a first test voltage between a reference electrode and a second working electrode and applying a second test voltage between the reference electrode and a first working electrode; measuring a first test current, a second test current, a third test current and a fourth test current at the second working electrode after a blood sample containing an analyte is applied to the test strip; measuring a fifth test current at the first working electrode; estimating a hematocrit-corrected analyte concentration from the first, second, third, fourth and fifth test currents; and annunciating the hematocrit-corrected analyte concentration.

    Abstract: An analyte meter having a test strip port is configured to transmit an electric signal through a received test strip with a sample. A pair of electrodes apply the electric signal and receive an electrical response from the test strip. A processing unit analyzes the electrical response and uses the response to determine an analyte level of the sample.

    Abstract: An electrochemical-based analytical test strip for the determination of an analyte (such as glucose) in a bodily fluid sample (for example, a whole blood sample) and/or a characteristic of the bodily fluid sample (e.g., hematocrit) includes a sample-entry chamber with a sample-application opening disposed on an end edge of the electrochemical-based analytical test strip, and first and second sample-determination chambers, each in direct fluidic communication with the sample-entry chamber. The electrochemical-based analytical test strip also includes first and second electrodes (such as first and second hematocrit electrodes) disposed in the first sample-determination chamber, and a third and fourth electrodes (for example working and reference electrodes) disposed in the second sample-determination chamber. Moreover, the first and second sample-determination chambers intersect the sample-entry chamber perpendicular (or nearly perpendicular) to one another and the first sample-determination chamber also intersects the sample-entry chamber in an aligned manner.

    Abstract: A hand-held test meter for use with an analytical test strip in the determination of an analyte in a bodily fluid sample includes a housing, a clock module disposed in the housing, a micro-controller disposed in the housing, a low-distortion signal generation circuit block (“LDSGCB”) disposed in the housing, and a strip port connector configured to operationally receive the analytical test strip. The LDSGCB includes a signal summation circuit (“SSC”) sub-block, a resistance-capacitance (RC) filter, and a single operational amplifier. The clock module and micro-controller are configured to generate phase-shifted square wave signals and output the phase-shifted square wave signals to the SSC. The SSC is configured to sum the phase-shifted square wave signals to generate a resultant summed-wave signal and output the resultant summed-wave signal to the RC filter. The RC filter is configured to filter harmonics from the resultant summed-wave signal thereby creating a reduced harmonic distortion signal.
