Patent ID: 8728298

Claim:
A method for testing for a ketone number of a non-human animal specimen, the method comprising: setting up a test parameter datasheet by data modeling based on a comparative difference of test results obtained in a lab to tests obtained by electrochemical testing according to a type of the animal specimen, and drawing the test parameter datasheet based on the test results; dripping the specimen onto a sensing end of an electrochemical specimen; preparing an electrochemical tester provided with a measurement slot, said electrochemical tester having a test value correction procedure incorporated therein or input thereto; adjusting operational parameters unique to the test value correction procedure of the electrochemical tester so as to adapt to a test mode of a species of the tested animal, the test value correction procedure being expressed by y=ax+b where x and y represent respectively two axial directions in a curve graph of the ketone number and where a and b represent a pair of parameters affecting the curve, a and b being obtained from data in said test parameter datasheet; and inserting said sensing end of said electrochemical test specimen into said measurement slot of said electrochemical tester, said electrochemical tester displaying the ketone number of the animal specimen.
