| 20080198360 | Transmission Spectroscopy System for Use in the Determination of Analytes In Body Fluid - A total transmission spectroscopy system for use in determining the analyte concentration in a fluid sample comprises a sample cell receiving area, a light source, a collimating lens, a first lens, a second lens, and a detector. The sample cell receiving area is adapted to receive a sample to be analyzed. The sample cell receiving area is constructed of a substantially optically clear material. The collimating lens is adapted to receive light from the light source and adapted to illuminate the sample cell receiving area with a substantially collimated beam of light. The first lens is adapted to receive regular and scattered light transmitted through the sample at a first angle of divergence. The first lens receives light having a first angle of acceptance. The first lens outputs light having a second angle of divergence. The second angle of divergence is less than the first angle of divergence. The second lens is adapted to receive light from the first lens and adapted to output a substantially collimated beam of light. The detector is adapted to measure the light output by the second lens. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20080248581 | Method for performing correction of blood glucose assay bias using blood hemoglobin concentration - A device and method for determining a correction factor for correcting the blood glucose assay bias based on sample hematocrit interference in a testing device using the blood hemoglobin concentration. The hemoglobin assay and the glucose assay may be performed using a single combination monitoring device. | 10-09-2008 |
