In one aspect, the invention relates to a system for managing patient data having many instruments. The instruments have a sampling member for sampling a body fluid from a patient and, for accessing patient data acquired by another analytical instrument, directly communicate with at least one other instrument. The direct communication can include a first instrument controlling a second instrument. The control can include, for instance, the first instrument calibrating the second instrument, the first instrument processing a sample on the second instrument, the first instrument turning the second instrument off, and/or the first instrument turning the second instrument on. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
