Patent number: 9410915Abstract: The present invention provides a test strip for measuring a signal of interest in a biological fluid when the test strip is mated to an appropriate test meter, wherein the test strip and the test meter include structures to verify the integrity of the test strip traces, to measure the parasitic resistance of the test strip traces, and to provide compensation in the voltage applied to the test strip to account for parasitic resistive losses in the test strip traces.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2014Date of Patent: August 9, 2016Assignees: Roche Operations Ltd., Roche Diabetes Care, Inc.Inventors: Michael J. Celentano, Henning Groll, James L. Pauley, Steven K. Moore

Patent number: 9267911Abstract: An analyte test sensor strip is disclosed having information coded thereon as well as a method of forming the same and conducting an analyte test using the analyte test sensor strip. Information relating to an attribute of the strip or batch/lot of strips may be coded based on resistance values pertaining to electrical aspects of the strip, such as a primary resistive element and a secondary resistive element, the secondary resistive element having one of a plurality of states defined by a location of a closed tap to form a unique resistive path for the secondary resistive element that includes a portion of the primary resistive element depending on the location of the closed tap. The states may be formed on the strip by a secondary processing step in the manufacture of the strip in which a plurality of taps are severed leaving only one tap in a closed state.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2014Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: Roche Diabetes Care, Inc.Inventors: John T. Austera, Terry A. Beaty, Abner D. Joseph, Nathan E. Manlove, Steven K. Moore, James L. Pauley, Jr., Randall K. Riggles
