FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the detection of analytes in biological fluids. This method for determining blood glucose concentration using a glucose measurement system includes inserting a test strip into a strip port connector of the test meter; initiating a test sequence after deposition of a sample, wherein the initiation comprises: applying a first voltage close to the ground potential to the test chamber during the first time interval; applying a second voltage to the test chamber during the second time interval; changing the second voltage to a third voltage, different from the second voltage, for a third time interval; switching the third voltage to a fourth voltage, different from the third voltage, for a fourth time interval; change of the fourth voltage to a fifth voltage, different from the fourth voltage, for a fifth time interval; altering the fifth voltage by a sixth voltage, other than the fifth voltage, for a sixth time interval; changing the sixth voltage to a seventh voltage, different from the sixth voltage, for a seventh time interval, wherein the second voltage is a voltage opposite in polarity to the third, fifth and seventh voltages and is the same in polarity with the fourth and sixth voltages, measuring at least one of: a first output current transient signal from the test chamber during the first interval, proximate to the second and third time intervals; a second output current transient signal during a second interval proximate to the fourth and fifth time intervals; a third output current transient signal during a third interval proximate to the fifth and sixth time intervals; a fourth output current transient signal during a fourth interval proximate to the sixth and seventh time intervals; and a fifth output current transient signal during a fifth interval proximate to the end of the seventh time interval; calculating a glucose concentration in the sample from at least one of the first, second, third, fourth or fifth current output signals.
EFFECT: higher accuracy and efficiency of analysis.
