WIRELESS MONITOR FOR A PERSONAL MEDICAL DEVICE SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A monitor device for a system comprising a medical device having an exhaustible operating quantity, the monitor device comprising:
- a display element;
a display controller/driver coupled to the display element and configured to generate a screen for rendering on the display element; and
a data communication module configured to receive current status data of the medical device, the current status data indicating a status of the exhaustible operating quantity;
whereinthe screen comprises a status icon that graphically indicates the status of the exhaustible operating quantity.

Abstract
A monitor device for a fluid infusion system and its operating, display, and data processing characteristics are described herein. One embodiment of the monitor device is used in an insulin infusion system having an insulin infusion pump and a continuous glucose sensor transmitter. The monitor device is configured as a wireless bedside monitor that wirelessly receives status data from a device in the fluid infusion system, such as the infusion pump or the sensor transmitter. The monitor device supports a number of user interface features, alarm/alert features, and graphical display features, where such features enhance the overall operation and user-friendliness of the monitor device. For example, the monitor device can generate status icons that graphically indicate the time remaining for an exhaustible operating quantity of a device in the infusion system (e.g., a battery charge, a fluid reservoir volume, or a calibration or replacement period). The monitor device can also estimate future measurements of a physiological characteristic of a monitored patient, based upon empirical measurement data received by the monitor device.
