Abstract:
Various embodiments for a method that allow for a more accurate analyte concentration with a biosensor by determining at least one physical characteristic of the sample and determining whether a counter or reference electrode is causing an error by monitoring the working electrodes and flagging an error if the signal outputs of the working electrodes do not meet certain thresholds.

Various embodiments for a method that allow for a more accurate analyte concentration with a biosensor by determining at least one physical characteristic of the sample and determining whether at least one output transient signal of the biosensor is erroneous by monitoring the biosensor and flagging an error if the signal outputs of the biosensor do not meet certain criteria.
Abstract:
Various embodiments for methods, systems, and meters that allow for a more accurate analyte concentration with a biosensor by determining at least one physical characteristic of the sample and determining whether at least one output transient signal of the biosensor is erroneous by monitoring the biosensor and flagging an error if the signal outputs of the biosensor do not meet certain criteria.
Abstract:
An electrochemical-based analytical test strip (EBATS) for the determination of an analyte (such as glucose) in a bodily fluid sample (for example, a whole blood sample) includes an electrically insulating base layer (110), a patterned electrically conductive layer (120) disposed on the electrically insulating base layer, an enzymatic reagent layer (140) disposed on the patterned electrically conductor layer, a patterned spacer layer (150), a top layer (170) having an underside surface, and a soluble acidic material coating (160) on the underside surface of the top layer. The patterned spacer layer and top layer define a sample-receiving chamber (180) within the EBATS and the soluble acidic material coating is disposed on the underside surface of the top layer within the sample-receiving chamber. In addition, the soluble acidic material coating is operably dissolvable in the bodily fluid sample such that a pH of the bodily fluid sample in the sample-receiving chamber is reduced during use of the EBATS.
