Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for determining the concentration of an analyte from a body fluid. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing such a system.
  • carrier-bound rapid tests have become established in specialized laboratories, but especially for use outside of fixed laboratories. Based on a specially developed dry chemistry, such carrier-bound rapid tests, in spite of the often complex reactions involving sensitive reagents, are simple and uncomplicated, even by laymen.

  • a test strip for receiving the blood drop, the forwarding of the blood from the receiving site to the detection area, and the detection of an analyte, eg. B. the blood glucose.
  • lancets and matching devices are offered, which allow a low-pain and reliable blood collection.
  • lancets and lancing devices are the commercially available devices (lancing devices) and lancets Glucolet from Bayer AG and Softclix * from Roche Diagnostics GmbH. Such lancets and devices are z.
  • B. Accu-Chek Sensor from Roche Diagnostics
  • test strip a test element
  • the test strip is brought into contact, for example, with a drop of blood previously obtained by means of a finger-stick lancing device.
  • the blood is transported on the test strip to the area where the detection chemistry is located.
  • the analyte sought reacts with the detection chemistry and thereby generates a measurable signal, eg. B. an electric current pulse or a color change.
  • the measuring signal is evaluated by the measuring device and the user is shown the current blood glucose value on the display of the blood sugar device.
  • Glucose metering regularly, for example, several times a day to perform. For each measurement, a new test strip is needed, which is provided in storage boxes of, for example, 50 pieces. It should be noted that the test strips may have a different quality and different properties depending on the batch, which affect the measurement result. It is therefore necessary to calibrate the glucose meter before inserting the strip. The reason for these fluctuations lies in unavoidable tolerances during the production of the test strips as well as in the sensitive detection chemistry. In order to compensate for this, extensive samples of each production batch are measured and batch-specific calibration data are determined from this. These data are delivered to the customer along with the test strips, but are not visible to the customer. The data record consists of a batch number and values describing a correction function.
  • the reservoir contains a printed number coding, which must be entered via a corresponding input unit on the glucose meter to adjust the glucose meter to the test strip located in this storage box.
  • a film foil is included with each test strip package.
  • the transparent film sheet contains a bar code containing binary-coded coefficients of an n-th order polynomial.
  • an electronic storage medium, a ROM key is stored on the test strip, on which a complete set of the coefficients of a polynomial is stored (see US Pat. No. 5,053,199 ).
  • test strip for the Reflochek ® from Roche Diagnostics GmbH, for example, has printed a bar code, and the Reflotron @ strips (Roche Diagnostics GmbH), a magnetic strip is glued.
  • the calibration unit in this blood glucose measurement system consists of a receiving unit that interacts with a transmitter unit on the test carrier to wirelessly transmit a signal that reflects the quality and / or properties of the test strip. This wireless and non-contact transmission of the calibration data ensures that the user does not have to perform additional calibration steps on the currently used test strip. It is only necessary that the test carrier is held in the vicinity of the meter, which z. B. when inserted into the meter is the case. The receiving unit and the transmitting unit in this case form a so-called transponder system.

  • a transponder system comprises a reading system, which here corresponds to the receiving unit in the instrument, and the actual transponder, in this case the transmitting unit on the test strip. From the reading system, the energy required for the measurement is introduced into the test strip, ie the test strip does not have its own power supply. The transmitting unit on the test strip in turn sends the stored calibration data and the measuring signals of the current measurement to the measuring device.
  • the transponders are usually realized with microprocessors in silicon technology. Although silicon chip production costs have dropped significantly in recent years due to miniaturization, integration and optimization of manufacturing processes, they are still so high that they would disproportionately increase the cost of a measurement if each individual test strip discarded after a single measurement were equipped with such a silicon chip.

  • the transponder technology mentioned above is used for this galvanic isolation.
  • the electrical components on the analytical test element are at least partially formed on the basis of polymeielection.
  • transponder technology is particularly advantageous for systems for determining an analyte from a body fluid using polymer electronics.
  • the polymer electronics are based on the fact that certain polymers (eg pentacene, polythiophene) have semiconducting properties and thus electronic circuits can be realized.

  • DE 102 53 154 describes how the
  • test strips are produced in so-called endless processes (roll-to-roll processes).
  • the rolls are then separated into test strips and filled into packaging units (cans, magazines).
  • samples of each production batch are taken and validated.

  • a transponder made of polymer electronics is extremely inexpensive to produce, which is particularly important for individual measuring strips that are discarded after a single use, of great importance.
  • the invention makes it possible to provide the analytical test elements with a batch identification during the roll-to-roll process, and to apply the calibration data to the scattered and packaged test elements without contact. Ie. saving the calibration data to a separate data carrier and ensuring the correct packaging of the test strips with the corresponding data carrier is eliminated.
  • the transponder system can be used both to load data onto the analytical test element and to query data stored on the test element or generated during the measurement.
  • the batch numbers of the test elements filled in a packaging unit can first be queried by a special reading unit.
  • the reading unit contains the calibration data for the corresponding batch numbers.

  • Identification number to be so specific to describe each individual test strip and query. In this way, the method according to the invention ensures that the correct calibration data are used for each measurement and swapping is precluded, both during assembly in the production and in the customer's application.

  • the curve or the polynomial function can also be stored instead of directly in the instrument on a ROM key, which is enclosed with the instrument and inserted into the instrument by the customer. If at a later time the curve must be adapted, for example, when introducing a new generation of test strips with slightly different measurement behavior, the instrument can be adapted by simply replacing the ROM key.
  • the batch-specific calibration data are stored on the analytical test element or on its packaging, and the curve of the calibration curve is stored in the instrument, for example in the form of a polynomial function.
  • the curve of the calibration curve is stored in the instrument, for example in the form of a polynomial function.
  • An alternative possibility is that several calibration curves, for example under different identification numbers, are stored on a ROM key and the identification number of the calibration curve matching this charge is stored on the test strip.
  • electrochemical measurements are DC or low-frequency processes, ie they are essentially galvanic, ie current-conducting, mechanisms which lead to fault currents which, on the one hand, can falsify the measured values and, on the other hand, the chemical reaction itself. In order to circumvent this problem, one uses today often complex isolation amplifier.
  • the electrochemical measurement systems are separated so far that only the connection over the inevitable liquid, electrochemical path beslehl itself.

  • Transmission coils applied with polymer electronics can lie extremely close to one another or one above the other, for example at a distance of 0.1 mm.
