  • Patent number: 11621886
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method and a system for a wireless data communication between a sensor system and a receiver capable of receiving analyte values sensed by the sensor system in a continuous analyte monitoring. The method includes establishing an unconnected mode operation for the system. The receiver receives a first data package broadcasted by the sensor system that has first status data indicative of a device status and/or an analyte value status. The first status data is processed by a receiver controller. A connected mode operation is established for the system responsive to determining at least one of a critical device status and a critical analyte value status. The establishing includes establishing a communication channel between the sensor system and the receiver and receiving a second data package transmitted by the sensor system in the receiver, the second data package comprising one or more analyte values.

  • Patent number: 11055386
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for controlling user access to a medical system including a body-wearable medical device that can be, e.g., an insulin pump and/or a continuous glucose monitor. A remote controller is provided and has a user interface and can exchange data with the medical device. The remote controller is configured for entering, via the user interface, at least one command for execution by the medical device. The remote controller has a locked state in which entering medical device commands or other commands is disabled. In the locked state, the user is prompted to enter an identification code and the remote controller can be unlocked when the correct identification code is entered. In the unlocked state, entering of the medical device command is enabled. Alternatively, instead of entering a correct identification code, the remote controller can be switched to the unlocked state when a safety condition is met.

  • Patent number: 10660521
    Abstract: The invention provides for a medical system comprising a control unit and a medical appliance. The medical appliance comprises: a first processor and a monitoring system for measuring an analyte concentration subcutaneously. The control unit comprises a second processor and a second memory with a persistent partition and an application partition containing a medical application and application data comprising a medical data entry. The medical application backs up the application data as archived data in the persistent partition. The first processor is programmed to: record the analyte concentration, generate the medical data entry using the analyte concentration, and transfer the medical data entry to the control unit. The second memory further contains an operating system operable for de-installing the medical application without deleting the archived data.
