VERIFYING OPERATION OF A METER

摘要

A method of verifying operation of a meter for reading electrochemical test devices, comprising: obtaining a reference output signal indicative of a response generated at an electrochemical test device when the electrochemical test device reacts with a reference test fluid; applying with the meter an algorithm to the reference output signal so as to obtain a reference test result, wherein the algorithm is for use in estimating an unknown concentration of an analyte in a sample of the reference test fluid; and determining whether the reference test result is valid so as to verify operation of the meter.
