Abstract

See full text

A hand-held test meter for use with an electrochemical-based analytical test strip in the determination of an analyte (such as glucose) in a bodily fluid sample (for example, a whole blood sample) includes a housing, a micro-controller disposed in the housing, a test strip electrode to ground-reference switch circuit block disposed in the housing, a strip port connector configured for operational insertion of an electrochemical-based analytical test strip with an electrode (e.g., a reference electrode), and a ground-reference. In addition, the test strip electrode to ground-reference switch circuit block is configured to be in electrical communication with an electrode of an electrochemical-based analytical test strip inserted in the strip port connector. Moreover, the test strip electrode to ground-reference switch circuit block is configured to connect and disconnect the electrode of the inserted electrochemical-based analytical test strip to the ground-reference under operational control of the micro-controller.
