Abstract
A system for determining a level of hematocrit includes a test strip configured to receive a sample; a meter configured to receive the test strip; and further including circuitry and a microprocessor, the circuitry and microprocessor configured to apply electrical energy to the test strip and the sample and determine an electrical property of the sample, either the impedance phase angle or the impendence magnitude of the test strip and the sample and, based on the electrical property, calculate the level of hematocrit in the sample.
