1. A method of determining an analyte concentration in a sample, comprising:
- providing a meter having a single defined slope value and single defined intercept value;
selecting a sensor from a plurality of sensor lots, said sensor having a slope value and an intercept value, wherein the slope value and the intercept value are equal to or substantially similar to the single defined slope and the single defined intercept;
inserting the sensor into the meter;
providing the sample to the sensor; and
determining the analyte concentration in the sample without communicating a calibration code to the meter.

Abstract
A meter and sensors, for use in combination, where no calibration code has to be entered by the user or is read by the meter. The meter is configured with a predetermined slope and y-intercept built into the meter. If the slope and y-intercept of the sensor are within a predetermined area or grid, or otherwise close to the slope and y-intercept of the meter, the batch of sensors is acceptable for use with that meter for providing accurate analyte concentration results.
