Methods of Transferring Data to a Medical Test Device
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of transmitting data, the method comprising:
- providing discrete surface features on a surface of a container indicative of predetermined parameters for at least one test strip disposed in the housing;
inserting the container into a test port of the test device;
removing the container out of the test port; and
reading the discrete surface features as the container is moving relative to the test port during one of the removing and inserting steps to provide parameters specific to the test strip.

14. A method to transmit data containing at least one or more predetermined parameters to a medical test device, the method comprising:
-
providing discrete surface features on a surface of a container indicative of predetermined parameters for at least one test strip disposed in the housing; inserting the container into a port of the test device; retaining the at least one test strip in the port of the test device; removing the container out of the test port; confirming that the at least one test strip is retained in the port; and reading the discrete surface features during one of the removing and inserting and only upon confirmation by the confirming step. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method of transmitting data having at least one or more predetermined parameters, the method comprising:
-
providing discrete surface features for a container indicative of predetermined parameters for at least one test strip disposed in the housing; inserting the container into a port of the test device; retaining the at least one test strip in the port of the test device; removing the container out of the test port; confirming that the at least one test strip is retained in the port; reading the discrete surface features during one of the removing and inserting only upon confirmation that the at least one test strip is retained; and verifying the reading with a human observable output by the test device. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22)
