experimentally measuring a first sensor characteristic of the at least one transcutaneous glucose sensor prior to a sensor session in a host, wherein experimentally measuring the first sensor characteristic comprises measuring in vitro glucose sensitivity characteristics of the at least one glucose sensor in one or more solutions having controlled glucose concentration;
defining an in vitro glucose concentration sensitivity for the at least one glucose sensor based at least in part on the experimental measurements in the one or more solutions having controlled glucose concentration;
defining an in vivo glucose concentration sensitivity based at least in part on the defined in vitro sensitivity;
experimentally measuring a second sensor characteristic of the at least one transcutaneous glucose sensor prior to a sensor session in a host, wherein experimentally measuring the second sensor characteristic comprises measuring a thickness of the membrane system coated onto the at least one transcutaneous glucose sensor; and
assigning one or more calibration codes to the at least one transcutaneous glucose sensor, wherein the one or more calibration codes are based at least in part on both the defined in vivo sensitivity the at least one transcutaneous glucose sensor and the measured thickness of the membrane system coated onto the at least one transcutaneous glucose sensor.

Abstract
Systems and methods for processing sensor data and self-calibration are provided. In some embodiments, systems and methods are provided which are capable of calibrating a continuous analyte sensor based on an initial sensitivity, and then continuously performing self-calibration without using, or with reduced use of, reference measurements. In certain embodiments, a sensitivity of the analyte sensor is determined by applying an estimative algorithm that is a function of certain parameters. Also described herein are systems and methods for determining a property of an analyte sensor using a stimulus signal. The sensor property can be used to compensate sensor data for sensitivity drift, or determine another property associated with the sensor, such as temperature, sensor membrane damage, moisture ingress in sensor electronics, and scaling factors.
