    摘要: A hand-held test meter for use with an analytical test strip in the determination of an analyte in a bodily fluid sample includes a housing, a clock module disposed in the housing, a micro-controller disposed in the housing, a low-distortion signal generation circuit block (“LDSGCB”) disposed in the housing, and a strip port connector configured to operationally receive the analytical test strip. The LDSGCB includes a signal summation circuit (“SSC”) sub-block, a resistance-capacitance (RC) filter, and a single operational amplifier. The clock module and micro-controller are configured to generate phase-shifted square wave signals and output the phase-shifted square wave signals to the SSC. The SSC is configured to sum the phase-shifted square wave signals to generate a resultant summed-wave signal and output the resultant summed-wave signal to the RC filter. The RC filter is configured to filter harmonics from the resultant summed-wave signal thereby creating a reduced harmonic distortion signal.

    摘要: A physiological measurement system includes a biosensor providing a signal for a fluid sample. A processor determines a physiological parameter in the form of an analyte concentration using the signal from the biosensor. A network interface conveys data between the processor and a social network. The processor can transmit a query for analyte-data-request records to the social network, receive an indication of an analyte-data-request record from the social network, and transmit the determined analyte data or physiologic data to the social network in response to the indication. The processor can alternatively retrieve user credentials from a storage device, transmit the credentials and the analyte data to the social network, retrieve from the social network different-user response data corresponding to the transmission, and present an indication of the response data. Methods for processing analyte or physiologic data are also described. Various methods include transmitting credentials and the stored analyte or physiologic data to the social network.

    摘要: A hand-held test meter includes an electrically and thermally insulating case (“ETIC”) with an outwardly facing surface, a test meter electrical component (“TMEC”) with a thermal contact portion disposed within the electrically-insulating case, and at least one thermal channel. The thermal channel includes a proximal contact portion with a proximal contact surface, a distal contact portion with a distal surface, and a channel portion connecting the proximal contact portion and the distal contact portion. The thermal channel is integrated with the ETIC such that the thermal channel extends through the ETIC from the outwardly facing surface and to the thermal contact portion of the TMEC. The extension is such that the proximal contact surface of the thermal channel is outside of the ETIC and the distal surface of the thermal channel is in contact with the thermal contact portion of the TMEC. The thermal channel is thermally conductive and electrically-insulating.

    摘要: A hand-held test meter includes a strip port connector to receive a test strip. A signal-measurement circuit applies a periodic voltage signal across a sample applied to the strip and detects a resulting current signal. The circuit provides data of the current signal at a digitizing frequency and a selected phase with respect to the voltage signal. A processor records one or more value(s) of the data and then alters the selected phase. Value(s) are thus recorded at each of a plurality of phases. The processor determines a phase difference of the current signal with respect to the voltage signal using the respective sets of value(s). A method for employing a test meter and a test strip is also disclosed, and includes measuring a respective plurality of points for each of a plurality of different measurement phases and determining a phase difference of a fluid sample therefrom.
