Abstract:
The present invention provides methods of calibrating a fluidic device useful for detecting an analyte of interest in a bodily fluid. The invention also provides methods for assessing the reliability of an assay for an analyte in a bodily fluid with the use of a fluidic device. Another aspect of the invention is a method for performing a trend analysis on the concentration of an analyte in a subject using a fluidic device.

Claim (Index 13):
A method for detecting an analyte contained in a biological fluid sample, comprising:\n inserting a cartridge into a reader assembly, the cartridge comprising:\n a sample collection unit configured to receive the biological fluid sample; and \n an assay assembly, wherein the assay assembly comprises a plurality of reaction sites each having a reactant contained therein; \n receiving a protocol associated with the cartridge at the reader assembly, based on an identifier; flowing a portion of the biological fluid sample to the reaction sites in response to receiving the protocol such that the analyte contained in the biological fluid sample reacts with each reactant within the reaction sites and produces a plurality of optical signals indicating the presence of or absence of the analyte; detecting the optical signals with a detection assembly included in the reader assembly; and transmitting the optical signals to an external device for aggregation of the plurality of signals by the external device.
