1.2.3: Data

WaveSense™ is a suite of patented technologies that uniquely employs Dynamic Electrochemistry™ to extract a spectrum of information inaccessible to traditional static electrochemical methods. Error-correcting input signals from WaveSense™ enabled blood glucose meters provide more comprehensive data. This information can then be exploited by sophisticated digital signal processing algorithms to give more accurate glucose readings.

WaveSense Corrects for common errors

WaveSense Technology corrects for common sources of error that make blood glucose measurements inaccurate. Some of the common errors are:

Blood Sample Variations
Blood sample variations such as hematocrit level (the amount of red blood cells in the sample) or chemical interferences from food or beverages (such as vitamin C from orange juice).

Environmental Conditions
Environmental conditions such as altitude and/or temperature when the sample is taken

Manufacturing Variations
Manufacturing variations where no two test strips are exactly alike

More Information, Better Numbers

The fundamental advantage of WaveSense is the amount of data that is collected and analyzed. WaveSense Technology analyzes many different variables to help correct for common interference effects.

Hematocrit AutoCorrection

Hematocrit is the amount of red blood cells a sample of your blood contains. Hematocrit levels vary between men and women and between different individuals. Hematocrit variations can lead to inaccurate readings. WaveSense-enabled products automatically correct for hematocrit variations.
