DETERMINATION OF SAMPLE VOLUME ADEQUACY IN BIOSENSOR DEVICES

摘要

Methods and systems are provided for determining whether a volume of biological sample is adequate to produce an accurate electrochemical analyte concentration measurement. Certain such methods and systems provide the additional functio n of compensating for a sample volume determined to be less than adequate in orde r to proceed with an accurate analyte concentration measurement. The present invention is employed with a biosensor, such as an electrochemical test strip to which the sample volume of biological solution is deposited, and a meter configured to receive such tes t strip and to measure the concentration of selected analytes within the biological sample.
