A system for diagnostic testing may include a meter for performing a diagnostic test on a sample applied to a test media, the meter having a housing and an interface for receiving a signal representing coding information, and a container configured to contain test media compatible with the meter, the container having a coding element associated therewith. Additionally, the system may provide a mechanism for removing the meter from an interconnected test container and reattaching it to a new container using on-container coding methods that can recalibrate the meter for the new container of test strips.

A method of updating the status of an insurance customer includes identifying a plurality of individuals with a first insurance status and delivering home testing kits to the plurality of individuals. Upon completion of the home testing kits, medical image information is received from a mobile communications device and processed to determine a state of a medical analysis region. Individuals with medical analysis regions in a differing state of criticality are identified. Healthcare providers may be provided with information indicating that there is a likelihood that the identified individuals are entitled to a second insurance status.

A dispensing apparatus that dispenses a sample into a well of a microplate, including a light emitter that emits light to the well, a light receiver that receives light emitted by the light emitter and returned from the well; and a control unit that determines whether foreign matter is present in the well based on information on the light received by the light receiver.

A cartridge format for point-of-care analyte detection in a sample of bodily fluid is provided. The cartridge includes a microfluidic system of channels of varying length containing lyophilized reagent for sample processing. Sample loaded into the cartridge moves to the sensor in a generally downward direction via the microfluidic system. The sample reconstitutes the lyophilized reagents within the channels, and is the only fluid required for analyte measurement. Movement of the sample is regulated by two forces—gravity and pressure within the microfluidic system. The cartridge includes one or more vent valves for relieving the pressure in the microfluidic system, thus allowing, or restricting flow of sample and/or reagent through the cartridge by force of gravity. The cartridge may be connected to an analyzer device having one or more actuators for opening and closing the vent valves and a sensor for measuring the analyte.
