FILL ERROR TRAP FOR ANALYTE MEASUREMENT DETERMINED FROM SPECIFIED SAMPLING TIME DERIVED FROM SENSED PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTIC OF SAMPLE CONTAINING ANALYTE

摘要

FIELD: electrochemistry.;SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to the field of electrochemical measurements of glucose level. Various embodiments that allow for detection of a fill sufficiency and a more accurate analyte concentration by determining at least one physical characteristic, particularly hematocrit, of the blood sample containing the analyte, particularly glucose, and deriving a specific sampling time based on a relationship between the physical characteristic, the estimated analyte concentration and sampling time.;EFFECT: in this way the analyte concentration can be determined with greater accuracy at the specific sampling time point and fill sufficiency can be determined if the signal outputs of the working electrodes do not meet certain thresholds.;21 cl, 10 dwg, 2 tbl
