Patent number: 10080529Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for medical monitoring physiological characteristics values such as blood glucose levels for the treatment of diabetes, are presented. The apparatuses and methods provide dynamic glucose monitoring functions that perform predictive analysis to anticipate harmful conditions, such as glucose crash and hyperglycemic incidents for a patient. The dynamic functions can also be used to maximize athletic performance and warn of inadequate nocturnal basal rate. Other aspects include advanced alarm and reminder functions, as well as advanced data presentation tools to further facilitate convenient and efficient management of various physiological conditions.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2015Date of Patent: September 25, 2018Assignee: Medtronic MiniMed, Inc.Inventors: James Kelly Fox, Garry M. Steil, Kerstin Rebrin, Mark C. Estes, Frank Saidara

Publication number: 20080255438Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for medical monitoring physiological characteristic values such as blood glucose levels for the treatment of diabetes, are presented. The apparatuses and methods provide for preventing any negative consequence in the operation of a monitor and/or infusion device as a result of disorientation that may occur from waking from slumber with a low blood glucose level. In addition, a graphical display is disclosed incorporating a variety of enhancements which readily conveys to the user historical as well as real time information regarding the measured characteristic value.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2008Publication date: October 16, 2008Applicant: MEDTRONIC MINIMED, INC.Inventors: Frank Saidara, John Joseph Mastrototaro, Charles Vallet Tolle, John C. Mueller, Jeff B. Sanders, Edward S. Nielsen

Publication number: 20070232880Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for medical monitoring physiological characteristic values such as blood glucose levels for the treatment of diabetes, are presented. The apparatuses and methods provide advanced alarm and reminder functions, as well as advanced data presentation tools to further facilitate convenient and efficient management of various physiological conditions. For example, an alarm repeat delay can be used to prevent redundant alarms for a specified period and an alarm snooze function can be used to prevent alarms generally for a specified period.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2007Publication date: October 4, 2007Inventors: Uzair Siddiqui, Himanshu Patel, John Mastrototaro, Linda Fredrickson, Kris Holtzclaw, Bruce Wenholz, Mark Estes, Frank Saidara
