ANALYTE METER TEST STRIP DETECTION

摘要

An analyte meter (10) having a test strip port (22) is configured to detect an inserted test strip (24) using an unpowered grounded operational amplifier (80) while the analyte meter (10) is in sleep mode. After a test strip (24) is inserted and the meter (10) is activated, the operational amplifier (80) is powered and provides the sample current for measuring an analyte concentration in the sample.
