20110152644 | PROTECTIVE CONTAINER FOR HOLDING REUSABLE DIAGNOSTIC COMPONENTS - A protective container for holding a reusable control part of a transcutaneous sensor system for detecting at least one analyte in a bodily fluid is disclosed. The control part includes at least one coupling, which has at least one sensor coupling for connection to at least one transcutaneous sensor. The protective container has at least one container housing. The control part can be held in the container housing. The container housing is adapted to shield the control part from environmental influences. The container housing also has at least one connector which can be connected to the coupling and seals the latter in a media-tight fashion. | 06-23-2011 |
20120004852 | HAND HELD ANALYSIS DEVICE FOR ANALYZING A BODY FLUID AND A CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR - A method is provided for controlling a hand-held analysis device for analyzing a body fluid in which in each case at least one test means for single use is automatically provided in consecutive measuring cycles by means of a control device where each measuring cycle in a measuring mode of the control device is triggered by a start actuation. According to the invention it is proposed that a defined control intervention puts the control device into a maintenance mode in which the automatic provision of a test means is prevented. | 01-05-2012 |
20120095774 | METADATA TAGGING SYSTEM FOR A DIABETES MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF DEVICES - A diabetes management system having a reliable data management scheme is disclosed. The system comprises a plurality of devices, each device performing a different function relating to treatment of diabetes. Each device has a device identifier and each device generates data records relating to the function of the device. Each device includes a metadata generator configured to generate a metadata tag for a data record generated by the device. A metadata tag includes the device identifier of the corresponding device, a record identifier, and a source identifier indicating whether the record was originated by a human or the device. The system further includes a diabetes management device in communication with the plurality of devices and configured to manage records received from the plurality of devices. When a first device of the plurality of devices generates a new record to be communicated to the diabetes management device, the metadata generator of the first device generates a new unique record identifier and a new metadata tag based on the new unique record identifier and the device identifier of the first device, and the first device propagates the new record and the new metadata tag to the second device. | 04-19-2012 |
20120165639 | STORAGE OF CALIBRATION DATA AT A CONTINUOUS GLUCOSE MONITOR - A method for storing data at a continuous glucose monitor is presented. The method includes measuring the blood glucose level of the patient. The method also includes receiving a plurality of physical attributes related to the glucose level of the patient. The method further includes determining calibration data based on the measured blood glucose level and at least one of the plurality of physical attribute samples, the calibration data configured to allow the handheld diabetes managing device to determine the estimated glucose level of the patient based on the plurality of physical attribute samples. Finally, the method includes transmitting the calibration data from the handheld diabetes managing device to the continuous glucose monitor for storage at the continuous glucose monitor. The calibration data and plurality of physical attribute samples can be retrieved by a separate device to determine an estimated glucose level of the patient. | 06-28-2012 |
20120191362 | CALIBRATION METHOD FOR THE PROSPECTIVE CALIBRATION OF MEASURING EQUIPMENT - A method for operating measuring equipment for detecting an analyte in a bodily fluid by means of a continuously measuring blood glucose sensor. A calibration method is carried out for the prospective calibration of the measuring equipment. At least three calibration points are detected in the calibration method, wherein each calibration point comprises a measurement signal from the measuring equipment and a reference value of an associated reference measurement. A plurality of possible slopes are established between the calibration points. At least one robust estimation method, using a formation of at least one median is used to determine a probable slope from the plurality of possible slopes. Furthermore, a measurement is carried out. During the measurement and using the probable slope, a concentration of the analyte in the bodily fluid is deduced from a measurement signal from the measuring equipment and the probable slope. | 07-26-2012 |
20140066735 | DIABETES MANAGER FOR GLUCOSE TESTING AND CONTINUOUS GLUCOSE MONITORING - A handheld diabetes management device for managing blood glucose test data and continuous glucose monitoring data includes a port configured to receive a test strip, a wireless transceiver, a communications processor, and a user interface processor. The communications processor communicates with the wireless transceiver to periodically collect glucose measurement data from a continuous glucose monitoring device and to store the glucose measurement data in a first data storage module. The communications processor is operable to consume electrical power at a first rate. The user interface processor communicates with the communication processor to receive the glucose measurement data and operable to display the glucose measurement data on the device. The communications processor operates asynchronously from operation of the user interface processor to collect the glucose measurement data and the user interface processor operates to consume electrical power at a second rate that is higher than the first rate. | 03-06-2014 |
