Abstract

A system for determining an analyte (for example glucose) in a bodily fluid sample (e.g., a whole blood sample) includes a meter and at least one analytical test strip configured for the application of the bodily fluid sample thereon and for insertion into the meter for subsequent determination of the analyte. Furthermore, the meter includes a graphics-based step-by-step tutorial module with a user interface, a microprocessor unit and a memory unit storing a step-by-step tutorial that includes graphics-based images depicting use of the system. In addition, the user interface, microprocessor unit and memory unit are operatively linked and configured for sequential display of the graphics-based images of the step-by-step tutorial to the user via, for example, a display screen.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to medical devices, and in particular to systems and methods for assaying analytes in bodily fluid samples. Background technique [0002] Determination (eg, detection and / or concentration measurement) of analytes in bodily fluid samples is of central importance in the medical field. For example, it is desirable to be able to determine the concentration of glucose, cholesterol, acetaminophen and / or HbA1c in a body fluid sample such as urine, blood or interstitial fluid. Such assays can be accomplished using systems employing analytical test strips (also referred to herein as "kits") based on, for example, photometric or electrochemical techniques along with associated instrumentation. For example OneTouch available from LifeScan Inc. of Milpitas, USA  Ultra  Whole blood test kits employ electrochemical-based analytical test strips to determine blood glucose concentrations in whole blood samples.
