  • Publication number: 20220401041
    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.

  • Publication number: 20220361756
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include methods and systems including a receiver unit of a glucose monitoring system. The receiver is configured for communicating with a remote transmitter unit coupled with a glucose sensor. The glucose sensor generates data signals associated with a glucose level. The receiver unit includes a processor, a display, and a memory for storing instructions which, when executed by the processor: access a transmitter key associated with the remote transmitter unit; transmit a command to the remote transmitter unit after verifying the transmitter key; receive communication packets from the remote transmitter unit including a first data segment with data signals indicative of the glucose level and a second data segment with information corresponding to a remaining life of the remote transmitter unit; estimate a remaining life of the remote transmitter unit; process the data signals; and output the estimated remaining life and the processed data signals for display.

  • Publication number: 20220359074
    Abstract: Methods and devices to monitor an analyte in body fluid are provided. Embodiments include continuous or discrete acquisition of analyte related data from a transcutaneously positioned in vivo analyte sensor automatically or upon request from a user. The in vivo analyte sensor is coupled to an electronics unit holding a memory with instruction to cause processing circuitry to initiate a predetermined time period that is longer than a predetermined life of the sensor, during the predetermined time period, convert signals from the sensor related to glucose to respective corresponding glucose levels, without relying on any post-manufacture independent analyte measurements from a reference device, and at the expiration of the predetermined time period, disable, deactivate, or cease use of one or more feature.

  • Publication number: 20220181022
    Abstract: Methods and devices and systems include generating analyte data based on signals from an analyte sensor transcutaneously positioned in contact with interstitial fluid under a skin layer of a user and to generate signals corresponding to an analyte level of a target analyte. The analyte data corresponds to the analyte level of the target analyte over a wear period. Methods include storing the analyte data over the wear period. Methods include determining one or more indications based on the analyte data. Methods include determining a reimbursement insurance code based at least in part on stored sensor information associated with the analyte sensor. Methods include communicating at least a portion of the analyte data and the reimbursement insurance code to an electronic record associated with the user and stored by a remote electronic medical record system. Methods include providing the one or more indications on a user interface unit.
