    Abstract: A method of determining analyte concentration in a body fluid with a mobile device having a camera. A user is prompted to apply body fluid to an optical test strip and then waits a predetermined minimum waiting time. The camera captures an image of part of the test field having the body fluid applied thereto. Analyte concentration is determined based on the image captured. The determination includes estimating a point in time of sample application to the test field by taking into account time-dependent information derived from the image captured using a first color channel of a color space. The determination also estimates the concentration of the analyte by taking into account concentration-dependent information derived from the image using a second color channel of the color space.

    Abstract: A method is disclosed for determining concentration of an analyte in a body fluid with a mobile device having a camera. The camera captures an image of an optical test strip having a test field. The analyte concentration value is determined from color formation of the test field. Provided in the mobile device is a correlation for transforming color formation of the test field into analyte concentration. Also provided in the mobile device is an item of clearance information indicating a level of confidence for the correlation. When the item of clearance information indicates a sufficient level of confidence for the correlation, the mobile device indicates to a user that the capturing of the image does not require using a color reference card. Further disclosed are a method of controlling analytical measurements, a mobile device, a system for controlling analytical measurements and computer programs for performing and/or controlling analytical measurements.

    Abstract: A method for operating a medical analyte testing system having a handheld meter, particularly, a glucose meter, and a test magazine is disclosed. In the disclosed method a replaceable test magazine including a plurality of test elements is provided in the handheld meter for conducting successive analyte tests. An auxiliary measuring unit of the handheld meter measures at various points of time at least one ambient parameter, including temperature or humidity. The method checks for a threshold violation by comparing the measured ambient parameter with a preset threshold. The preset threshold is lowered after an initial period of use of the test magazine, and a use-up period is adjusted based on the check for a threshold violation.

    Abstract: A method of evaluating the quality of a color reference card having multiple color reference fields. The quality refers to whether the color reference card is usable for a method for determining concentration of analyte in a body fluid and/or to the degree of suitability or reliability of the color reference card for use with a method for determining analyte concentration in a body fluid. In the inventive method, an image is captured of at least a part of the color reference card using a mobile device camera. Measured color reference values are determined from the image for one or more of the color reference fields and a relationship between one or more of the measured reference color values and corresponding known reference color values is determined. The determined relationship is used to assess the quality of the color reference card. A kit and mobile device are also disclosed.
