Analyte detection system with user interface providing trend display
First Claim
1. An analyte detection system comprising:
- a fluid transport network having a patient end configured to provide fluid communication with a body fluid in a patient;
a body fluid analyzer accessible via said fluid transport network, said body fluid analyzer configured to determine a level of an analyte of interest;
a pump unit coupled to said fluid transport network, said pump unit having a sample input mode in which said pump unit is operable to transport a sample of said body fluid from said patient end and toward said body fluid analyzer, and an infusion mode in which said pump unit is operable to transport an infusion fluid toward and out said patient end;
a user interface for communication with said body fluid analyzer, said user interface including a trend display portion, said trend display portion comprising;
(a) a trend indicator which depicts a trend in determined levels of said analyte of interest; and
(b) at least one of a high-level indicator corresponding to a relatively high level of said analyte and a low-level indicator corresponding to a relatively low level of said analyte.

Abstract
An embodiment of an analyte detection system includes a fluid transport network having a patient end configured to provide fluid communication with a body fluid in a patient and a body fluid analyzer accessible via the fluid transport network. The body fluid analyzer is configured to determine a level of an analyte of interest. A pump unit is coupled to the fluid transport network and has a sample input mode and an infusion mode. In the sample input mode, the pump unit is operable to transport a sample of the body fluid from the patient end and toward the body fluid analyzer. In the infusion mode, the pump unit is operable to transport an infusion fluid toward and out the patient end. The analyte detection system also includes a user interface for communication with the body fluid analyzer. The user interface includes a trend display portion that includes a trend indicator, which depicts a trend in determined levels of the analyte of interest. The trend display portion also includes at least one of a high-level indicator corresponding to a relatively high level of the analyte and a low-level indicator corresponding to a relatively low level of the analyte.

21. A method of analyzing an analyte of interest in the body fluid of a patient, said method comprising:
-
providing a body fluid analyzer and a user interface in communication with said body fluid analyzer; placing said body fluid analyzer in fluid communication with said body fluid in said patient; transporting a sample of said body fluid toward said body fluid analyzer; with said body fluid analyzer, determining a level of said analyte of interest in said body fluid, while said analyzer is in fluid communication with said body fluid in said patient; in a trend display portion of said user interface, depicting a trend in determined levels of said analyte of interest; and in said trend display portion, depicting; (a) a trend indicator which depicts a trend in determined levels of said analyte of interest; and (b) at least one of a high-level indicator corresponding to a relatively high level of said analyte and a low-level indicator and corresponding to a relatively low level of said analyte. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)
