- This invention relates to analyte test instruments that perform electrochemical assays on biological samples. More particularly, the invention relates to analyte test instruments having improved calibration and communication processes.
- An analyte test instrument can be used to perform electrochemical assays
- a user inserts a test strip into a test port in the instrument.
- the instrument displays a "ready" indication to the user and waits for the user to deposit a biological sample on the test strip.
- an electrochemical reaction occurs.
- the electrochemical reaction causes a flow of electrons, which produces an electrical signal, such as a change in current, detectable by the instrument.
- the instrument converts the detected signal into data that corresponds to analyte information and displays the information to the user.
- the instrument may have the capability to store a plurality of such measurements and provide this information to the user via a display or to an external processor via a data link.
- Analyte test instruments for electrochemical assays often require the user to use periodically calibrate the instrument.
- One known calibration technique is described in U.S. Patent No. 5,366,609 to White et al.
- the disclosed instrument requires a removably insertible read-only-memory (ROM) key for operation and calibration of the instrument.
- the ROM key is inserted into a port, which is distinct from the test port, and must remain in the instrument during operation and calibration testing.
- a test strip is inserted into the test port after the ROM key is inserted into the ROM key port.
- the ROM key contains batch-specific constants and data required for carrying out analyte determination procedures on biological material applied to the test strips.
- the ROM key can contain some or all of the code that controls the testing.
- a microprocessor in the instrument uses the constants, conversion factors, and code provided by the ROM key on an "as-needed basis" to perform tests.
- Another calibration technique is employed by the PRECISION Q-l-D blood glucose testing system manufactured and sold by MEDISENSE, Inc., Bedford Massachusetts.
- the instrument has a single port that separately receives both calibration strips and test strips.
- a calibration strip including data and constants specific to a given batch of test strips, including the batch code for the test strips, is provided with each batch of test strips.
- the user first inserts the calibration strip into the test port to calibrate the instrument. The user then removes the calibration strip, and the instrument is ready to receive test strips.
- the instrument stores the batch code for the calibration strip and displays that code to the user.
- the calibration data for the instrument is specific to those test strips having the same batch code and remains stored in the instrument until another calibration strip is inserted.
- manufacturers of analyte test instruments take great care in providing accurate calibration devices and detailed instructions on the calibration process, errors attributable to the calibration process frequently contribute to erroneous test readings.
- known instruments do not alert the user to prevent running a test with a test strip that is not matched to the calibration of the instrument or with a test strip that has expired.
- known instruments do not have the capability of performing a multiplicity of different assays with a single measuring apparatus having a broad spectrum of testing functionalities without having to manually reconfigure the instrument.

- the instrument receives into the test port a calibration strip or a test strip.
- the processor accesses the test parameters stored in the memory to determine whether one or more of the test parameters is invalid for the test strip. If a test parameter is invalid, an indication of the invalid test strip parameter is displayed on the display.
- test parameters can include test strip count and expiration date, instrument language, and instrument type.
- the processor disables the instrument when certain parameters are invalid. In other embodiments, a warning is displayed when certain parameters are invalid.
- the invention features a method for determining the actual date and time of events in a battery-operated analyte test instrument.
- Events generated by operation of the battery-operated analyte test instrument are stored in the memory.

- the invention provides a method for controlling the operation of an analyte test instrument.
- a data storage strip is received into the test port and is polled to identify its type. Communications are established with the data storage strip, using the protocol corresponding to the data storage strip, when the data storage strip is identified. Data is then downloaded from the data storage strip into the analyte test instrument, and the analyte test instrument stores the data even after the data storage strip is removed.
- the downloaded data comprises at least a portion of a test procedure that the analyte test instrument uses to perform diagnostic tests.
- the analyte test instrument has stored on it a plurality of test procedures used to conduct one or more diagnostic tests using the analyte test instrument. In this embodiment, a control procedure that selects one or more of the stored procedures to run is downloaded. In this manner, the data storage strip can reconfigure the analyte test instrument "in the field" to run different types of tests or combinations of tests.

- the device software 240 attempts to communicate with the device by means of a communications protocol capable of operating with a serial EE-squared interface, such as that defined by the Dallas ROM protocol (step 520) of Dallas
- the device software 240 proceeds to the ROM calibration procedure illustrated in FIG. 6A and 6B (step 530). If unsuccessful, the device software 240 attempts to communicate with the device by means of an alternate protocol (for example, the RS-232 standard ROM protocol) (step 540).

- the instrument 100 analyzes the sample by measuring current through the circuit formed by the sample and the contacts 260. In a further embodiment, the instrument 100 applies current to that circuit to use in subsequent measurements.
- the use of such a system of test strip electrodes to determine presence and/or concentration of analyte is discussed in U.S. Patent No. 4,545,382, issued October 8. 1995, and U.S. Patent No. 4,711 ,245, issued December 8, 1987, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.

- FIG 6A illustrates the ROM calibration procedure for one embodiment of the invention.
- the device software 240 downloads data from the ROM 280 to the instrument 100 (step 720).
- this data is stored in the memory 220.
- the ROM data can be stored anywhere within the instrument 100 so long as the data is accessible even after the calibration device 270 has been removed from the test port 110.
- the downloaded data comprises parameters and procedures for controlling the operation of the instrument 100.
- the data can comprise instrument parameters, test strip parameters, and analyte parameters.
- the instrument parameters can comprise language and meter type.
- the test strip parameters can comprise test strip count and expiration date.
- the downloaded data can include the lot number of the calibration strip 270.
- the display 130 displays the lot number downloaded from the calibration device (step 730), as an indication that calibration is complete.
- the instrument 100 stores the downloaded data in the memory (step 740). The user can then remove the calibration strip 270 from the test port 110 (step 750).
- the instrument 100 can store more than one set of calibration data in the memory.
- an instrument 100 capable of performing assays with a plurality of different types of test strips 290 e.g., glucose, ketones
- the instrument 100 automatically displays the calibration code associated with a particular type of test strip 290 when the test strip is inserted. Further, the instrument 100 conducts assays using the calibration data associated with the particular type of test strip 290 that is inserted.
- the ROM 280 parameters can also comprise marketing parameters, engineering parameters, and assay initialization parameters.
- Marketing parameters generally are those parameters that vary with the particular package of test strips 290 being used, with the type of calibration device 270 being used, or where (geographically) the instrument is being used.
- the ROM 280 can provide information to the instrument 100 about the market in which the package of test strips is sold or used. This information can include information about the natural language or group of natural languages that is appropriate with the packaging and inserts for a package of test strips 290.
- the strip count is another market parameter that can be provided to the instrument 100 in some embodiments of the invention.
- the ROM 280 stores the number of test strips 290 included in the box and associated with the calibration strip 270.
- the calibration strip 270 included with a package of 50 ketone strips could store a strip count of "50", communicating to the instrument 100 that a calibration performed with that calibration strip 270 is effective for, at most, 50 ketone assays.
- the strip count associated with a calibration strip 270 for one type of assay e.g., ketone
- the strip count associated with a calibration strip 270 for another type of assay e.g., glucose
- the strip count is useful for preventing the calibration strip 270 associated with a first package of test strips 290 from being used with another package of test strips, which is likely to have a different calibration code 275 and lot number 285 from that of the first package.
- the instrument 110 provides a warning message on the display 130 telling the user that the strip count is exceeded.
- the user is prevented (“lock-out") from performing tests on the instrument 110 until the system is calibrated for a new package of test strips.
- both a warning and a lock-out occur when strip count is reached.
- Expiration date of the test strips is another parameter provided on the ROM 280. Expiration date is useful to prevent the erroneous results that can occur when testing is done with an expired test strip.
- the instrument 100 stores the expiration date provided by ROM 280. If the instrument 100 has not been recalibrated to a later expiration date when the former date is reached, the instrument 100 can provide the user with a warning, a lock-out, or both. In some embodiments, the warning and/or lock-out occurs when a test strip 290 is inserted into the test port 110. In other embodiments, the warning and/or lock-out occurs as soon as the user turns on the instrument 100.
- the ROM 280 can also provide an "instrument-type" parameter that corresponds to certain instrument characteristics, functions, and capabilities. This parameter is used to ensure that an incompatible ROM calibration strip is not used to calibrate the instrument.
- Another market parameter that can be stored in the ROM 280 is a strip activation parameter, which can enable and disable the calibration capabilities of the instrument 110.
- the strip activation parameter includes resistive calibration data to permit calibration of the instrument by means of resistive calibration.
- the ROM 280 can also comprise engineering parameters, which control the way the instrument 100 performs tests and, in some cases, what tests the instrument performs. Generally, engineering parameters do not vary by geographic or market location, and are unaffected by expiration date or strip count.
- the engineering parameters comprise a ROM Format ID parameter identifying the ROM 280 to be a particular type and version.
- the ROM Format ID parameter can identify a ROM 280 as being a "glucose" ROM, meaning that the ROM 280 is storing tests and parameters to perform glucose assays. This embodiment enables the instrument 100 to identify the calibration strip 270 so that a calibration strip 270 that includes a ROM 280 can configure the instrument to perform glucose assays.
- this configuration allows the ROM 280 on the calibration strip to provide parameters and procedures to the instrument 100.
- the device software 240 runs a glucose procedure itself. In other words, the device software 240 runs a glucose procedure that the instrument 100 already has in the memory, because the procedure has been downloaded from a glucose calibration ROM.
- the ROM Format ID parameter is set to "ketone,” the selection of the test to run is similar to the technique described in connection with the "glucose” tests.
- the ROM format ID can define other types of diagnostic tests or particular testing modes of the instrument.
- FIG. 6B is a block diagram showing the overall strip insertion flow process for one embodiment of the invention.
- this figure shows a method for operating the instrument to determine whether one or more of the test parameters for the analyte test strips 290 are in error and to display an indication of the invalid strip parameter on the display.
- the instrument sequences through the steps of FIG. 5 to identify the type of strip.
- the device software 240 determines if the expired strip test parameter or the strip count test parameter is invalid.
- the instrument 100 upon receiving a test strip, the instrument attempts to determine if any of the test parameters stored in the memory are invalid even before the test strip is accepted. For example, if a user attempted to recalibrate the instrument 100 with the same calibration device 270 used previously, but if the calibration device 270 has expired, the user would not be permitted to recalibrate using the calibration device 270. Instead, the instrument 100 displays an error message (step 620) and then shuts itself down (step 680). In another example, if the instrument 100 determines that the test strip count parameter has been exceeded, the instrument displays a warning (step 615) before permitting the user to proceed with testing.
- the instrument 100 determines whether the instrument has been calibrated for the type of test strip inserted (step 685). If the instrument has not, a recalibrate message is displayed (step 690) instructing the user to recalibrate the instrument 100. If, however, the instrument 100 has been calibrated for the type of test strip inserted, the display 130 displays the code corresponding to that of the stored calibration (steps 605 and 610, respectively) before prompting the user to apply blood (step 625). In addition, other information can be presented to the user prior to prompting the user to apply blood, depending on whether the instrument 100 meter was calibrated with a resistive or ROM calibrator.
- the instrument is turned off (step 680).
- a "no strip” message can be displayed (not shown).
- an "OK” message can be displayed in the text display.
- the result is displayed in the numeric display (step 635 or 650).
- FIG. 6C illustrates the resistive calibration procedure, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention. If the device software 240 detects that there is a resistive calibration strip in the port (stop 560 of FIG. 5 and step 900 of FIG. 6C), then the device software 240 determines the values of the precision resistors (902). From the resistor values, a calibration code is determined (step 904). The calibration code is displayed (step 906). Next, the assay data values are determined from the resistor values (step 908).
- assay data values are determined by using the measured resistance value in a table of assay parameters.
- the measured resistance value is used to determine a slope intercept point in one or more graphical representations of assay parameters.
- the table or graphical representation of assay parameters is stored in a location on the instrument 100.
- the particular resistance value can also provide an indication of the type of assay in which the resistive calibration strip should be used. The following table illustrates an example of how the measured resistance value is used to provide the assay type and parameters therefor: Table 1
- the parameters are stored in the memory on the instrument 100 (step 910).
- the resistive calibration strip is removed from the port (step 912)
- the assay parameters remain in the memory of instrument 100 until a new calibration is performed (step 914).
- FIG. 7 illustrates a method for determining the actual date and time of events of a battery-operated test instrument 100 in accordance with one embodiment of the invention. Using this method, the device software 240 of the instrument 100 can determine the correct date and time of a test event when a user has not set the date and time since the last time batteries were properly inserted.
- the device software 240 assumes that the date and time are invalid if date and time have not been set since the last time a power-on-reset (POR) event was detected. (A POR event will not necessarily occur every time the batteries are replaced.) For example, in this embodiment, the device software 240 associates the date and time, and a semaphore "Time Valid", which may be true or false, with each assay result. "Time Valid" semaphore will be true if and only if date and time have been set since the last POR event. In such an embodiment, if the date and time have been set since the last time a POR event was detected, then the date and time have been set properly.
- POR power-on-reset
- a POR event can be triggered by insertion or removal of batteries. In other embodiments, a POR event can be triggered by removal of the instrument 100 from a source of power, such as an external power supply, battery pack, or other suitable power source.
- a source of power such as an external power supply, battery pack, or other suitable power source.
- the device software 240 When a test event (e.g., an assay) occurs (step 800), the device software 240 first determines whether the date and time have been set properly (step 810). In addition, the device software associates the instrument date and time, along with a "Time Valid" semaphore, with each test event. The "Time Valid" semaphore can be true or false for each assay result. The semaphore is true only if the date and time have been set properly.
- a test event e.g., an assay
- the device software 240 assumes that the date and time of the instrument 100 are invalid. Thus, the device software 240 assigns a value to the event, notes that the "Time Valid" semaphore is false, and stores the value of the event and the "Time Valid" semaphore (step 820).
- the device software 240 If the date and time have been set properly, then the device software 240 assumes that the date and time of the instrument are valid. Accordingly, it stores the date and time of the event and notes that the "Time Valid" semaphore is true (step 830). After storing the event, the value (optionally), and the "time-valid" semaphore (step 840), the device software 240 provides a reference date and time to the analyte test instrument (step 850) and assigns a reference value to the reference date and time (step 860).
- the reference date and time can represent the actual, current date and time.
- the reference date and time can be provided to the instrument in any one of a number of ways.
- the device software 240 establishes communication between an external device and the test instrument 100, then downloads the reference date and time from the external device.
- the reference date and time can be entered using the user interface of the instrument 100 (e.g., push-button 120). A reference value is then assigned to the reference date and time.
- the test instrument 100 uses the "Time Valid" semaphore, reference date, reference value, and event value to respond to a request for a stored event (e.g., during results recall, averages display, and data uploading).
- the instrument offers a "results recall” function that allows a user to view the stored results on the display 130. For each result, if the "Time Valid" semaphore is true (step 880), the date and time associated with the result is shown with the result on the display 130 (step 895).
- the date and time associated with the event must be corrected to reflect the correct date and time. This is done by adjusting the event value using the reference value and reference date and time to achieve the correct date and time (step 890) before providing the event information to the requester (step 895).
- the device software 240 filters the stored results, excluding any results for which the
- time Period for such an average can include a 7-day average, 14-day average, or a 28-day average.
- the external device adjusts the event value by the reference value to achieve the correct date and time (step 890).
- data uploading delivers results, date and time, and a "Time Valid" semaphore for each result uploaded to an external device.
- the date and time that the "Time Valid" became false start of "Time Valid” false period
- the external device can be used to provide a reference date and time, and reference value, to the instrument 100.
- the external device can automatically provide a reference date and time whenever the instrument 100 is connected to it. The following example illustrates the operation of this embodiment of the invention. Assume that the events of Table 2 are stored in the memory 220:
- the "Time Valid" semaphore is false because a POR event has occurred but the time and date have not been set since the POR event occurred.
- the date and time are set at a default value when a POR event occurs, namely 01/01/90 00:00. This occurs at each POR event (e.g., in Table 2, after events 4, 9, and 11).
- the default date and time assist in tracking the date and time of test events that occur even when the "Time Valid" semaphore is false.
- this default date and time is provided by way of example only and other default dates and times can be used. However, in one embodiment, it is preferred that the default date and time be chosen so that the default date and time will not coincide with an actual date and time that could occur.
- the instrument software 240 of the example includes a default date and time that are several years previous to the date and time that the instrument is sold 100.
- the default date and time (as well as the date and time) can be in a four-digit year format, e.g., 01/01/1990 00:00, which can be useful to prevent problems that might occur after the year 2000.
- a data upload to an external device is performed. All of the information in Table 2, except the notes and the Event No.'s, is provided in the upload.
- the upload includes the instrument date of 01/02/90 and time of 02:03 (the time of the upload) and includes information relating to the state of the "Time Valid" semaphore.
- the date and time of the external device is 8/31/1998 12:02.
- the external device assumes that each instance when the user resets the date and time was done properly.
- the external device assumes that events labeled with dates 8/22/98, 8/23/98, and 8/28/98 are treated as correct and no further correction is required. Referring to FIG. 8, the events occurring on those dates would correspond to a "true" value (steps 880 and 895), so no correction is required.
- the date and time of the event labeled 01/01/90 01 :01 cannot be determined because the event occurred between two POR events, without a time change between the two POR events.
- the date and time of the event labeled 01/02/90 02:02 can be determined from the current time in the external device and the time indicated by the device software 240 at the time of the upload. In this example, there is a delta time of +8 years, 7 months, 29 days, 10 hours, and 0 minutes.. Therefore, the corrected event is: Table 4 Additional Corrected Event
- any of the embodiments described herein, including all of the functionalities described herein, can be provided as computer software on a computer readable medium such as a diskette or an optical compact disc (CD) for execution on a general purpose computer (e.g., an Apple Macintosh, an IBM PC or compatible, a Sun Workstation, etc.).
- a general purpose computer e.g., an Apple Macintosh, an IBM PC or compatible, a Sun Workstation, etc.
