Publication number: 20190103176Abstract: An architecture allows individual system components to be developed and tested individually, i.e., as distinct modules, and to be subsequently combined through standardized electrical and communication interfaces. Any combination of these modules can be implemented to form different products that provide any number of functions, such as an integrated system for monitoring a health condition and/or delivering a medication. The architecture also provides an approach for dynamically updating the product and offering its users the latest generation of technology even after the users have already purchased the product. In particular, the embodiments employ the communication interfaces to also provide connection to a remote network that can update or upgrade the product's software when the product is out in the field.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2018Publication date: April 4, 2019Inventors: Steven Charlton, Jun Chen, Lin Chen, Qiang Fu, Igor Gofman, Steven B. Harris, Gary J. Johnson, Paul L. Inman, Qiong Li, Harris Lieber, Derek Lok, Tony Nguyen, Paul M. Ripley, Gregory Stefkovic, Hoi-Cheong Steve Sun

Publication number: 20170242967Abstract: Meters, methods, and computer-readable media for determining the concentration of an analyte in a fluid sample are presented herein. One concept is directed to a meter for determining the concentration of an analyte in a fluid sample. The meter includes a housing configured to receive a test sensor carrying the fluid sample, and a processor configured to determine analyte concentration information from the fluid sample. A memory is coupled to the processor and configured to store the analyte concentration information. A display is coupled to the housing and configured to display the analyte concentration information and one or more iconic markers. Each iconic marker represents a respective state of the user. Each user state has a known affect on the analyte concentration information. An input device is coupled to the processor and configured to receive the user's selection from the iconic markers. The user's selection is stored by the memory.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2017Publication date: August 24, 2017Applicant: Ascensia Diabetes Care Holdings AGInventors: Derek Lok, Raymond L. Yao, Rita de Cassia Castro, Holly Schachner, Patricia Stenger

Patent number: 9622688Abstract: A lancet-release mechanism is adapted to be incorporated into a lancing device. The lancing device is adapted to receive a lancet assembly therein. The lancing device is adapted to move the lancet assembly between a resting position, a cocking position, and a puncture position. The lancet-release mechanism comprises a lancet holder and a cantilever beam. The lancet holder forms a central aperture. The central aperture is adapted to receive the lancet assembly therein. The lancet holder further forms a plurality of protuberances thereon. The cantilever beam has a projection extending therefrom. The projection is adapted to engage the plurality of protuberances located on the lancet holder. The projection is adapted to separate the plurality of protuberances from each other so as to enlarge the central aperture.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2014Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: ASCENSIA DIABETES CARE HOLDINGS AGInventors: Weiping Zhong, Tieming Ruan, Derek Lok
