Calibration material delivery devices and methods

A method of verifying the accuracy of an analyte monitoring device through a control test, the method comprising:

• receiving control information from a test cartridge with the analyte monitoring device, wherein the control information comprises a range of analyte concentration values for a control solution;
• transporting the control solution to an analysis site in the test cartridge, wherein the control solution has a known and/or predetermined concentration of at least one analyte;
• determining the presence of the control solution using the analyte monitoring device, wherein determining the presence of the control solution comprises identifying the control solution;
• analyzing the control solution to measure the concentration of the at least one analyte contained therein;
• comparing the measured concentration of the at least one analyte with the control information to determine if the measured concentration corresponds to the range of concentration values obtained from the control information;
• and
• providing a pass or fail signal to indicate whether the measured concentration falls within the range of analyte concentration values.
