Abstract
An infusion system includes a characteristic determining device and an infusion device. The characteristic determining device includes a receptacle for receiving and testing an analyte from the user to determine a concentration of the analyte in the user. The characteristic determining device also includes a communication system for transmitting a communication including data indicative of the determined concentration of the analyte in the user, and the infusion device includes a communication system for receiving the communication from the characteristic determining device. The infusion device further includes a bolus estimator for calculating an estimated amount of fluid to be infused into the body of the user based upon the received data indicative of the determined concentration of the analyte in the user and a target concentration of the analyte in the user, and an indicator to indicate when the estimated amount of fluid to be infused has been calculated.

95. A blood glucose test strip meter for determining a blood glucose level in a body of a user, wherein the blood glucose test strip meter is capable of communicating with an insulin infusion pump adapted for infusing insulin into the body of the user, the blood glucose test strip meter comprising:
-
a housing adapted to be carried by the user; a test strip port coupled to the housing to receive a test strip and test a blood sample from the user to determine the blood glucose level of the user; a processor contained in the housing and coupled to the test strip port to process the determined blood glucose level from the test strip port; a memory contained in the housing and coupled to the processor to store data indicative of the determined blood glucose level of the user; at least one button contained in the housing and coupled to the processor to receive commands from the user; a display contained in the housing and coupled to the processor to display the data indicative of the determined blood glucose level of the user; and a radio frequency (RF) transceiver contained in the housing and coupled to the processor to transmit a communication including the data indicative of the determined blood glucose level of the user and a unique identification information of the blood glucose test strip meter to the insulin infusion pump such that the insulin infusion pump is capable of discerning by the unique identification information whether the communication is intended for receipt by the insulin infusion pump, wherein the blood glucose test strip meter receives a confirmation of receipt of the data transmitted from the insulin infusion pump. - View Dependent Claims (96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103)

104. A method of operating a blood glucose test strip meter, comprising:
-
receiving a test strip at a test strip port in the blood glucose test strip meter; testing a blood sample from a user on the test strip to determine a blood glucose level of the user; storing data indicative of the blood glucose level of the user in a memory; receiving commands from the user using at least one button on the blood glucose test strip meter; displaying the data indicative of the blood glucose level of the user on a display; transmitting via radio frequency (RF) to an insulin infusion pump a communication including the data indicative of the determined blood glucose level of the user and an unique identification information of the blood glucose test strip meter; and receiving via radio frequency a confirmation of receipt of the data from the insulin infusion pump, wherein the insulin infusion pump receives via radio frequency the communication including the data indicative of the blood glucose level of the user and the unique identification information of the blood glucose test strip meter, discerns by the unique identification information whether the data is intended for receipt by the insulin infusion pump, and transmits the confirmation of receipt of the data to the blood glucose test strip meter. - View Dependent Claims (105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113)
