CA 2153877

A biosensing meter (22) receives a sample strip (10) that includes electrically isolated sense and excitation electrodes (12, 14) bridged by a reaction zone. When a drop of biological sample fluid is placed in the reaction zone, a plurality of fail/safe tests are performed. A drop size test is performed by a circuit that detects the size of the drop placed in the reaction zone. The circuit both detects that a drop has been placed in the reaction zone and further measures a test current level, after a delay, to determine that the drop size is sufficient to enable hydration of reactants in the reaction zone.

Un appareil de mesure biodétecteur (22) reçoit une bandelette porte-échantillon (10) qui comporte des électrodes de détection et d'excitation (12, 14) isolées électriquement et situées de part et d'autre d'une zone de réaction. Lorsqu'une goutte d'un échantillon de fluide biologique est placée dans la zone de réaction, le dispositif effectue une série de tests de vérification, pour s'assurer de la validité de l'essai. Un circuit effectue un test de vérification de la taile de la goutte placée dans la zone de réaction. Le circuit détecte non seulement qu'une goutte a été placée dans la zone de réaction, mais encore il mesure le niveau de courant après un certain temps, pour vérifier si la taille de la goutte est suffisante pour permetrre l'hydratation des réactifs dans la zone de réaction.
