Method and apparatus using alternative site glucose determinations to calibrate and maintain noninvasive and implantable analyzers

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Methods for calibrating noninvasive or implantable glucose analyzers utilize either alternative invasive glucose determinations or noninvasive glucose determinations for calibrating noninvasive or implantable glucose analyzers. Use of an alternative invasive or noninvasive glucose determination in the calibration allows minimization of errors due to sampling methodology and , spatial and temporal variation that are built into the calibration model. An additional method uses statistical correlations between noninvasive and alternative invasive glucose determinations and traditional invasive glucose determinations to adjust noninvasive or alternative invasive glucose concentrations to …
