  • Publication number: 20140095081
    Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems are provided that determine analyte trends according to different methods depending on whether a change-resistant state is active or not active. The method used when the change-resistant state is activated provides for different requirements for a resulting analyte trend to transition between states (e.g., level to non-level). Furthermore, in some aspects, methods, devices, and systems of selecting or modifying a response rate of an analyte monitoring device for an individual user are provided. User instructions for selecting or modifying a response rate of the device or system is received externally via a user interface or communication channel. The response rate of the analyte monitoring device or system is then selected or modified to the first response rate, and the device or system operated with the first response rate.

  • Patent number: 8684930
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for calibrating an analyte-measurement device that is used to evaluate a concentration of analyte in bodily fluid at or from a measurement site in a body. The method involves measuring a concentration, or calibration concentration, of an analyte in blood from an “off-finger” calibration site, and calibrating the analyte-measurement device based on that calibration concentration. The invention also relates to a device, system, or kit for measuring a concentration of an analyte in a body, which employs a calibration device for adjusting analyte concentration measured in bodily fluid based on an analyte concentration measured in blood from an “off-finger” calibration site.

  • Patent number: 8514086
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to an analyte monitoring device having a user interface with a display and a plurality of actuators. The display is configured to render a plurality of display screens, including a home screen and an alert screen. The home screen is divided into a plurality of simultaneously displayed panels, with a first panel displays a rate of change of continuously monitored analyte levels in interstitial fluid, a second panel simultaneously displays a current analyte level and an analyte trend indicator, and a third panel displays status information of a plurality of components of the device. When an alarm condition is detected, the display renders the alert screen in place of the home screen, the alert screen displaying information corresponding to the detected alarm condition. Furthermore, the actuators are configured to affect further output of the analyte monitoring device corresponding to the detected condition.
