Abstract

The present invention provides methods and apparatuses for analyte detection.

Claims

1-29. -29. (canceled)

30. An analyte meter, comprising:

a housing including a display;

a strip port coupled to the housing and configured to releasably receive an in vitro analyte test strip; and

a controller configured to determine the fill time of a sample on an in vitro analyte test strip positioned in the strip port and determine a hematocrit-corrected value of a concentration of the analyte based at least in part on the determined fill time of the sample.

43. A glucose meter, comprising:

a housing including a display for outputting graphical and/or alphanumeric information;

a strip port coupled to the housing and configured to releasably receive an in vitro glucose test strip;

a communication module; and

a controller configured to determine the fill time of a sample on an in vitro glucose test strip positioned in the strip port and determine a hematocrit-corrected value of a concentration of the glucose based at least in part on the determined fill time of the sample.
