  • Patent number: 10210538
    Abstract: An analyte measurement system includes a processor connected to a biosensor providing analyte data corresponding to an analyte level of a fluid sample. A user interface provides a menu of functions to a user and successively receives a plurality of menu choices, which the processor records. A storage device holds data defining a first action criterion. The processor compares the menu choices to the first action criterion. When the stored menu choices satisfy the first action criterion, the processor can automatically add a first additional function to the menu of functions, or can automatically presents a reward token via the user interface. The system can also include a housing holding the user interface, the storage device, and the processor. Methods are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20170023516
    Abstract: A hand-held test meter (“HHTM”) for use with analytical test strip in the determination of an analyte in a bodily fluid sample includes a housing, a strip port connector disposed at least partially within the housing, a micro-controller disposed in the housing, a voltage supply disposed in the housing, a fluid ingress detection circuit block (“FRIDCB”) disposed in the housing and includes a paired signal and ground trace, and a ground-reference. A portion of the signal trace and ground trace are separated by a predetermined distance. The signal trace is electrically connected to the voltage supply and to the micro-controller and the ground trace is electrically connected to the ground-reference. With no ingress fluid, the signal trace is electrically isolated from the ground trace. The FRIDCB generates an output signal to the micro-controller that is dependent on fluid ingress into the meter housing, thus providing for detection of fluid ingress.

  • Publication number: 20170021093
    Abstract: A medical device with a self-sustaining power source is disclosed herein. The medical device includes a pump and at least one mechanical activation mechanism for engaging the pump to cause a dose event. An energy generator coupled to the activation mechanism generates energy each time the activation mechanism is actuated. The generated energy is supplied to a dose counter of the infusion device.
