Systems and methods for correction of on-strip coding
First Claim
1. A diagnostic test strip comprising:
- a base code comprising information that allows a meter designed to work with a plurality of diagnostic test strips to convert raw signal data from one or more electrodes on the plurality of diagnostic test strips into a meaningful concentration value for an analyte of interest; and
a modified code being different from the base code of the plurality of diagnostic test strips,wherein the modified code modifies information encoded by the base code based on a difference in an average value for the plurality of diagnostic test strips of one or more strip geometry parameters, one or more chemistry parameters, or both the one or more strip geometry parameters and the one or more chemistry parameters and a corresponding value for the diagnostic test strip.

Abstract
Systems and methods of making a diagnostic test strip, the method including marking a machine-readable pattern onto the diagnostic test strip which contains information that allows a meter designed to work with the test strip to convert raw signal data from the diagnostic test strip into a meaningful concentration value for an analyte of interest. The method further includes printing the machine-readable pattern having a modified based code that is different from a base code of the diagnostic test strip being produced, wherein the modified based code is based on a strip geometry parameter, a chemistry parameter or both the strip geometry and chemistry parameters that are measured for the diagnostic test strip.

13. A diagnostic system comprising:
-
a plurality of diagnostic test strips; and a meter designed to perform diagnostic tests using a plurality of diagnostic test strips, wherein one or more of diagnostic test strips of the plurality of diagnostic test strips comprise; a base code comprising information that allows the meter to convert raw signal data from one or more electrodes on the plurality of diagnostic test strips into a meaningful concentration value for an analyte of interest; and a modified code being different from the base code of the plurality of diagnostic test strips, wherein the modified code modifies information encoded by the base code based on a difference in an average value for the plurality of diagnostic test strips of one or more strip geometry parameters, one or more chemistry parameters, or both the one or more strip geometry parameters and the one or more chemistry parameters and a corresponding value for the one or more diagnostic test strips. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
