Abstract:
1. A method of obtaining an analyte value in biological fluid of a user with an analyte sensor having two electrode sets coupled to a microprocessor, the method comprising: providing a plurality of data points via the microprocessor by: evaluating said data points, via the microprocessor for one or more non-monotonic events and (i) if the data points have an acceptable monotonic trend the measurement signal is accepted for further processing, or (ii) if the data points comprise one or more non-monotonic events then a percent contribution of said one or more non-monotonic events relative to total measurement signal is further evaluated, and if the percent contribution is less than a predetermined threshold value or falls within a predetermined range relative to total measurement signal then the measurement signal is accepted for further processing unless the percent contribution is greater than a predetermined threshold value or falls outside a predetermined range relative to total measurement signal then the measurement signal is not accepted for further processing and skipped; integrating, via the microprocessor, the signal related to the analyte over time to obtain a charge signal as being proportional to a value of the analyte; and displaying, via the microprocessor, the analyte value of the biological fluid of the user for diagnostic purposes.
