Claim 17:
18. The system of claim 14, wherein the step of determining contact status based on a combination of the baseline BECI value, measured BECI value, and peak-to-peak value further includes:
calculating a ratio value that represents the ratio of the measured BECI value to the baseline BECI value;
scaling at least one of the ratio value or the peak-to-peak BECI value to allow comparison of the ratio value to the peak-to-peak BECI value;
defining a variable as a maximum of the ratio value and the peak-to-peak value scaled accordingly; and
comparing the variable to one or more threshold values to determine a contact status.
