Publication number: 20250067733Abstract: A method for compensating an analyte measurement in the event of a low sample volume of a deposited fluid sample onto a test strip having first and second working electrodes and a reference electrode. At least one test voltage is applied between the first and second working electrodes and the reference electrode and current is measured at each of the working electrodes at a predetermined time point. The difference in measured current is compared to a stored threshold. If the difference in measured currents is within the stored threshold, the current measurements are used in determining an analyte of interest at a final test time. If the difference in measured currents is not within the stored threshold, then only the measured current of the first working electrode with a suitable correction applied is used in determining the analyte of interest at the final test time.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2023Publication date: February 27, 2025Applicant: Lifescan IP Holdings, LLCInventors: Martin Lamacka, David McColl, Antony Smith, Alexander Strachan, Steven Setford
