Methods and systems are provided for determining whether a volume of biological sample is adequate to produce an accurate electrochemical analyte concentration measurement and compensating for a sample volume determined to be less than adequate in order to proceed with an accurate analyte concentration measurement. The present invention is employed with a biosensor such as an electrochemical test strip to which the sample volume of biological solution is deposited and a meter configured to receive such test strip and to measure the concentration of selected analytes within the biological sample.

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 9, 2002 and granted September 6, 2016. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended October 9, 2022.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 9, 2024.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
