Abstract:
1. A method for determining an analyte concentration in a sample, comprising: determining an initial fill state of a test sensor to be an initial underfill state in which an insufficient volume of sample is present; signaling for an addition of additional volume of sample to subsequently and substantially full-fill the test sensor with a sufficient volume of sample, the sufficient volume of sample changing the initial underfill state of the test sensor to a subsequent substantially full-fill state; applying an analytic test excitation signal to the sufficient volume of sample; generating at least one analytic output signal value responsive to the concentration of the analyte in the sufficient volume of sample and the analytic test excitation signal; compensating for underfill error in the at least one analytic output signal value in response to the initial underfill state and the subsequent substantially full-fill state of the test sensor, wherein the compensating for the underfill error includes:
