Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a test meter (1) capable of determining the orientation of a test member (2) within it. The test member (2) has a first major surface (22) and an opposing second major surface (24). Each major surface includes an orientation indicator region, the orientation indicator regions differing by at least one optical property, for example reflectance. The test meter (2) has a test region (30) for accepting a test member (2). The test region (30) comprising an optical orientation sensor (34) aligned with the orientation indicator region of one major surface of a test member (2) within the test meter (1). The optical orientation sensor (34) generating an orientation signal indicative of an optical property of the orientation indicator region. The test meter also has a processor (36) for receiving the orientation signal and determining the orientation of the test member (2).
