Biosensor calibration coding system and method

摘要

A test sensor (100) for determining an analyte concentration in a biological fluid includes a strip that includes a fluid receiving area (128) and a port insertion region (126). An optically transparent position (132) and a first row of non-transparent positions form a calibration code pattern (130) arranged in a first area of the port insertion area (126). An optically transparent position (142) and a second row of non-transparent positions form a sync code pattern (140) arranged in a second area of the port insertion region (126). The second area is different from the first area. The synchronization code pattern (140) corresponds to the calibration code pattern (130), and the synchronization code pattern (140) is sequentially inserted in the insertion period of the port insertion region (126) into the receiving port of the analyte measuring instrument. Provides synchronization of the calibration code pattern (130).
