  • Publication number: 20070087397
    Abstract: A system and method of processing a test current for an analyte measurement in a fluid using a test strip and a test meter are disclosed. The method comprises sampling the test current at a pre-determined sampling rate to acquire a plurality of A/D conversions. The method also comprises filtering out at least a highest magnitude A/D conversion and a lowest magnitude A/D conversion leaving a plurality of accepted A/D conversions. Further, the method comprises calculating an average or a summation of the plurality of accepted A/D conversions and converting the average or the summation into a glucose concentration.

  • Publication number: 20030212379
    Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are provided for remotely controlling medication delivery to a patient by means of a medication infusion pump, such as a subcutaneous infusion pump, and for remotely controlling the monitoring of one or more physiological fluid analytes such as by a percutaneous measurement device. The systems of the present invention include a medication infusion pump and a hand-held “fob” for the remote control of the infusion pump and/or measurement device. In addition to remotely controlling the insulin pump and the measurement device, the fob provides for the consolidation of blood chemistry data and insulin delivery data over a period of time and maintains such consolidated data for immediate and later retrieval by the user or a physician. The methods of the present invention allow a user to customize and optimize an insulin bolus delivery protocol, i.e.
