Patent number: 8206564Abstract: A biosensor system determines an analyte concentration using one or more calibrated correlation equations for an optical and/or electrochemical analysis of a biological fluid. The biosensor system may be implemented using a measurement device and a sensor strip. The measurement device senses circuit patterns on an encoding pattern of the sensor strip. The measurement device determines calibration information in response to the circuit patterns, and uses the calibration information to calibrate one or more of the correlation equations. The measurement device uses the calibrated correlation equations to determine the analyte concentration.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2007Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignee: Bayer Healthcare LLCInventors: Robert D. Schell, Joseph E. Perry

Patent number: 8029735Abstract: A test system comprises a sensor container and a testing device. The sensor container has a base and a lid. The container encloses test sensors therein. The container includes a calibration label attached thereto. The label includes electrical contacts located thereon. The electrical contacts encode calibration information onto the calibration label. The testing device has an auto-calibration feature externally located thereon. The testing device is adapted to determine the analyte concentration in a fluid sample. The auto-calibration feature includes calibration elements that communicate with the electrical contacts on the calibration label. The testing device is adapted to determine the calibration information encoded on the calibration label in response to the calibration elements engaging the electrical contacts. The encoded calibration information is determined without inserting the sensor container or the calibration label into the testing device.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2007Date of Patent: October 4, 2011Assignee: Bayer Healthcare, LLCInventor: Robert D. Schell

Patent number: 7965122Abstract: An interface system delivers an output signal having a first signal characteristic in response to first and second input signals having the first signal characteristic and a second, different signal characteristic. The interface system includes a signal input for receiving a first signal having a first signal characteristic and a second signal having a second signal characteristic which is different from the first signal characteristic, a detector circuit for detecting whether the signal at the input is the first signal or the second signal, and a translator circuit for translating either of the first signal or the second signal into the output signal.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2010Date of Patent: June 21, 2011Assignee: Bayer Healthcare LLCInventor: Robert D. Schell

Patent number: 7918121Abstract: A test system comprises a sensor container and a testing device. The sensor container has a base and a lid. The container encloses a plurality of test sensors therein. The container includes a calibration label attached thereto. The label includes electrical contacts located thereon that encode calibration information onto the calibration label. The testing device has a sensor-container opening formed thereon. The sensor-container opening has an auto-calibration feature located therein. The auto-calibration feature is external to the testing device. The auto-calibration feature includes calibration elements to communicate with the electrical contacts on the calibration label. The testing device determines the calibration information encoded on the calibration label in response to the calibration elements engaging the electrical contacts. A portion of the sensor container remains external to the meter while the encoded calibration information is being determined.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2007Date of Patent: April 5, 2011Assignee: Bayer Healthcare, LLCInventor: Robert D.
