Abstract: A method and system is provided to allow for determination of substantially Hematocrit independent analyte concentration. In one example, an analyte measurement system is provided that includes a test strip and a test meter. The test strip includes a reference electrode and a working electrode, in which the working electrode is coated with a reagent layer. The test meter includes an electronic circuit and a signal processor. The electronic circuit applies a plurality of voltages to the reference electrode and the working electrode over respective durations. The signal processor is configured to determine a substantially hematocrit-independent concentration of the analyte from a plurality of current values as measured by the processor upon application of a plurality of test voltages to the reference and working electrodes over a plurality of durations interspersed with rest voltages lower than the test voltages being applied to the electrodes.

Abstract: A system for determining an analyte (for example glucose) in a bodily fluid sample (e.g., a whole blood sample) includes a meter and at least one analytical test strip configured for the application of the bodily fluid sample thereon and for insertion into the meter for subsequent determination of the analyte. Furthermore, the meter includes a graphics-based step-by-step tutorial module with a user interface, a microprocessor unit and a memory unit storing a step-by-step tutorial that includes graphics-based images depicting use of the system. In addition, the user interface, microprocessor unit and memory unit are operatively linked and configured for sequential display of the graphics-based images of the step-by-step tutorial to the user via, for example, a display screen.

Abstract: A method for tutoring a user during use of a system for determining an analyte (for example, glucose) in a bodily fluid sample (e.g., a whole blood sample) include activating a system for determining an analyte in a bodily fluid sample.
