System and Method for Estimating the Glucose Concentration in Blood
First Claim
1. A system for measuring glucose concentration comprising a transcutaneous sensor, an electronic calculator unit and a display for displaying the measured glucose concentration, characterized in that the electronic calculator unit has means for calculating an estimate of the uncertainty of the glucose measurement;
- and that the display is configured for displaying an interval representing said uncertainty.

Abstract
This application relates to glucose monitoring systems for continuously measuring the glucose concentration in a patients blood. The system is adapted to communicate with one or more sensors (10, 20) for transcutaneous insertion into a patient and for producing sensor signals related to the glucose concentration. The system comprises an electronic calculator unit and a display (14) for displaying the measured glucose concentration. The electronic calculator unit further comprises means for calculating an estimate of the uncertainty, i.e. the degree of accuracy of the glucose measurement, and the display is configured for displaying an interval representing said uncertainty (15).
