Abstract
In a test strip measuring system, such as for measuring the concentration of certain substances in body fluids, the system consists of a test strip onto which the fluid to be investigated is applied, and a measuring device into which the test strip is inserted for making the desired measurements. The system further includes a code carrier with a memory storing information concerning the manufacturing of the test strip and/or the measurement to be carried out in using the test strip. Still further, the system includes an adapter through which the code carrier is connectable with a data processing unit for the measuring device. On one hand, the adapter allows one and the same code carrier to be used with different measuring device and on the other hand allows different code carriers to be used with one and the same measuring devices.
