  • System and methods for automatically recognizing a control solution
    Patent number: 8647487
    Abstract: Methods and devices for automatically distinguishing between a control solution and an actual patient/user sample in a biosensor are provided. The solution is introduced into an electrochemical cell having a working and counter electrode. Electric pulses are applied to the cell and resultant signals are measured. Based on a comparison of the measured signals, a meter can determine whether the sample is a control solution or an actual patient/user sample.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 11, 2011
    Date of Patent: February 11, 2014
    Assignee: Nipro Diagnostics, Inc.
    Inventors: Natasha D. Popovich, Stephen G. Davies
