Encoded calibration device and systems and methods thereof
First Claim
1. A calibration target, comprising:
- an instrument interface comprising;
a first storage element having a first set of calibration data encoded therein, anda second storage element having a second set of calibration data encoded therein;
wherein the first storage element is a different type of storage element than the second storage element; and
wherein both the first and second set of calibration data are required to calibrate an instrument.

Abstract
Implementations described herein comprise systems, apparatus and methods for calibration of imaging, radio frequency or spectroscopic instruments that can be used to validate, calibrate or confirm the calibration thereof. In one aspect, a calibration target is provided. The calibration target has a tissue interface and an instrument interface. The instrument interface has a first storage means having a first set of calibration data encoded therein and a second storage means having a second set of calibration data encoded therein. The first storage means and the second storage means are selected to comprise different storage modalities. Both the first and second set of calibration data are necessary to perform calibration of the instrument.

19. A system, comprising:
-
a calibration target comprising; a tissue interface; and an instrument interface comprising; a first storage element having a first set of calibration data encoded therein; and a second storage element having a second set of calibration data encoded therein; wherein the first storage element is a different type of storage element than the second storage element; and an instrument configured to spectrally analyze a tissue sample, the instrument having at least one sensor operable to read calibration data contained on the calibration target and further configured to perform a calibration based on the calibration data; wherein both the first and second set of calibration data are required to calibrate of the instrument; wherein at least one of the first set of calibration data and the second set of calibration data comprise a validation code; and wherein the instrument is further configured to use the validation code to validate the calibration target prior to calibration.
