Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for cleaning a substrate in a cleaning module is disclosed. The method includes an operation that receives the substrate into a first level of the cleaning module. In another operation, the substrate is spun while contemporaneously applying a cleaning fluid to top and bottom surfaces of the substrate. In yet another operation, the substrate is spun at a second level of the cleaning module. The method also includes an operation to dry the substrate in an enclosed cavity at a third level of the cleaning module.

Abstract: Described and illustrated herein is an exemplary method of operating an analyte measurement device having a display, user interface, processor, memory, and user interface buttons. Such method can be achieved by measuring an analyte with the analyte measurement device, displaying a value representative of the analyte, prompting a user to select a flag to associate the flag with the value, and pressing only one of the user interface buttons once to store the flag with the value in the memory of the analyte measurement device. In one embodiment, the testing device is a glucose meter and the analyte being tested is glucose.
