ANALYTE DETERMINATION METHOD AND ANALYTE METER

摘要

The presence of oxygen or red blood cells in a sample applied to an electrochemical test strip that makes use of a reduced mediator is corrected for by an additive correction factor that is determined as a function of the temperature of the sample and a measurement that reflects the oxygen carryin g capacity of the sample. The measured oxygen carrying capacity can also be us ed to determine hematocrit and to distinguish between blood samples and control solutions applied to a test strip.
