A method for distinguishing between types of electrochemical test sensors in a meter is disclosed. The method comprises the acts of providing an electrochemical test sensor comprising an enzyme and a chemical additive, contacting the test sensor to the meter to form an electrical connection, applying a potential having a magnitude sufficient to initiate a redox reaction of the chemical additive, and determining which type of electrochemical test sensor is being used based on whether a predetermined signal has been generated after the potential has been applied. The meter is adapted to determine an analyte concentration in a fluid sample.

L'invention concerne un procédé de distinction entre des types de détecteurs d'essai électrochimiques dans un dispositif de mesure. Ce procédé consiste à fournir un détecteur d'essai électrochimique contenant un enzyme et un additif chimique, à mettre en contact ledit détecteur d'essai avec ledit dispositif de mesure pour constituer une connexion électrique, à appliquer un potentiel possédant une magnitude suffisante pour initier une réaction de redox de l'additif chimique et à déterminer quel type de détecteur d'essai électrochimique est utilisé en fonction de la génération ou non d'un signal prédéterminé après application du potentiel. Ce dispositif de mesure est conçu pour déterminer une concentration d'analytes dans un échantillon liquide.
