Patent number: 10656113Abstract: A biosensor system determines analyte concentration from an output signal generated from a light-identifiable species or a redox reaction of the analyte. The biosensor system adjusts a correlation for determining analyte concentrations from output signals or determined analyte concentrations with one or more complex index function extracted from the output signals or from other sources. The complex index functions determine at least one slope deviation value, ?S, or normalized slope deviation from one or more error parameters. The slope-adjusted correlation between analyte concentrations and output signals may be used to determine analyte concentrations having improved accuracy and/or precision from output signals including components attributable to bias.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2014Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: Ascensia Diabetes Care Holdings AGInventors: Huan-Ping Wu, Sung-Kwon Jung
