1. A method, comprising:
- obtaining, using one or more processors, an analyte related signal from an analyte sensor with at least a portion in fluid contact with an interstitial fluid;
obtaining, using the one or more processors, a reference signal from a reference sensor in contact with a blood sample from an off-finger sample acquisition site;
correlating, using the one or more processors, the analyte related signal with the reference signal;
comparing, using the one or more processors, the analyte related signal to the reference signal;
confirming, using the one or more processors, the deviation between the analyte related signal and the reference signal does not exceed a predetermined threshold; and
outputting, using the one or more processors, the analyte related signal;
wherein the predetermined threshold includes a lag time of approximately two minutes between the analyte related signal and the reference signal.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for calibrating an analyte-measurement device that is used to evaluate a concentration of analyte in bodily fluid at or from a measurement site in a body. The method involves measuring a concentration, or calibration concentration, of an analyte in blood from an “off-finger” calibration site, and calibrating the analyte-measurement device based on that calibration concentration. The invention also relates to a device, system, or kit for measuring a concentration of an analyte in a body, which employs a calibration device for adjusting analyte concentration measured in bodily fluid based on an analyte concentration measured in blood from an “off-finger” calibration site.

9. An apparatus, comprising:
-
one or more processors; and a memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive an analyte related signal from an analyte sensor with at least a portion in fluid contact with an interstitial fluid, receive a reference signal from a reference sensor in contact with a blood sample from an off-finger sample acquisition site, correlate the analyte related signal with the reference signal, compare the analyte related signal to the reference signal, confirm the deviation between the analyte related signal and the reference signal does not exceed a predetermined threshold, and output the obtained analyte related signal, wherein the predetermined threshold includes a lag time of approximately two minutes between the analyte related signal and the reference signal. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
