BLOOD GLUCOSE MEASUREMENTS FOR ELECTROCHEMICAL TEST STRIP BASED ON MULTIPLE DISCRETE MEASUREMENTS DEFINED BY SENSED HEMATOCRIT OF THE BLOOD SAMPLE

摘要

Blood glucose concentration determination which involves determining the hematocrit of the blood sample and using this to derive a specific sampling time, either via a look-up table or via a function of the hematocrit. The function which is used to determine the specific sampling time has a +/-10% degree of flexibility in its parameters. A similar level of flexibility is present in each of the expressions used to determine the glucose concentration. Alternatively, a current output at the specific sampling time is used to determine the glucose concentration. In this manner glucose concentration can be determined with greater accuracy
