The analysis may indicate whether the sterilization cycle in the sterilization chamber as successful.

A hybrid analyte test meter includes a processor operatively connected to a memory, measurement signal generator, measurement signal receiver, and short range wireless transceiver. The processor executes firmware instructions in the memory to operate the measurement signal generator to apply electrical signals to a sample deposited on the electrochemical test strip via the port, receive signal measurements from the measurement signal receiver in response to the predetermined sequence of electrical signals, and transmit data corresponding to the plurality of signal measurements to an external computing device using the short range wireless transceiver, wherein the processor does not identify a measurement of an analyte in the sample based on the plurality of signal measurements.

The invention aims to suppress an effect of noise and heat generated from a memory on a measurement result in an ion concentration measuring device that uses an ion detection element for outputting a potential corresponding to the concentration of ions. The ion concentration measuring device according to the invention includes a cartridge having an ion detection element and a memory and supplies power to the memory in a time period excluding a time period for which the potential generated by the ion detection element is acquired.

Embodiments described herein relate to an analyte monitoring device having a user interface with a display and a plurality of actuators. The display is configured to render a plurality of display screens, including a home screen and an alert screen. The home screen is divided into a plurality of simultaneously displayed panels, with a first panel displays a rate of change of continuously monitored analyte levels in interstitial fluid, a second panel simultaneously displays a current analyte level and an analyte trend indicator, and a third panel displays status information of a plurality of components of the device. When an alarm condition is detected, the display renders the alert screen in place of the home screen, the alert screen displaying information corresponding to the detected alarm condition. Furthermore, the actuators are configured to affect further output of the analyte monitoring device corresponding to the detected condition.

Systems and methods for processing sensor data and end of life detection are provided. In some embodiments, a method for determining the end of life of a continuous analyte sensor includes evaluating a plurality of risk factors using an end of life function to determine an end of life status of the sensor and providing an output related to the end of life status of the sensor. The plurality of risk factors may be selected from the list including the number of days the sensor has been in use, whether there has been a decrease in signal sensitivity, whether there is a predetermined noise pattern, whether there is a predetermined oxygen concentration pattern, and error between reference BG values and EGV sensor values.

A diagnostic test reader system including two or more reader modules and at least one mother module is provided. Each of the reader modules includes a unique code and is configured for reading a specific test cartridge type. Each of the reader modules is configured to be in data communication with the mother module for receiving instructions from the mother module and for transmitting read and/or derived data to the mother module. The mother module is configured for communicating individually with each of the reader modules.

A specimen analysis system includes at least one processor to receive image information that represents a respective plurality of pixels of an image of each of a plurality of testing areas to indicate the presence or absence of a test subject compound; to determine for each testing area a number of pixels that indicates either the presence or the absence of the test subject compound, if the number of pixels indicating positive for each of a plurality of testing areas equals or exceeds a first minimum threshold value indicating that the testing area is positive for either the presence or absence of the test subject compound, totaling all testing areas indicating positive for either the presence or absence of the test subject compound, and if the total number of the testing areas indicating positive for either the presence or absence of the test subject compound equals or exceeds a second minimum threshold value indicating an overall positive test result for either the presence or absence of the test subject compound.
