Analyte Monitoring System Having An Alert
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An analyte monitoring system comprising:
- a sensor in operative contact with an analyte, the sensor adapted to generate a signal associated with an amount or concentration of the analyte;
a transmitter operatively coupled to the sensor and adapted to generate a data packet, wherein the data packet comprises a current analyte value and two previous analyte values; and
a receiver in signal communication with the transmitter and configured to receive the data packet from the transmitter, the receiver further configured to automatically issue a first alert notification when a first predetermined number of consecutive data packets is not received by the receiver, and automatically issue a second alert notification when a second predetermined number of consecutive data packets is not received by the receiver.

Abstract
Described herein are analyte monitoring systems including a receiver or data processing component that is configured to automatically issue a first alert notification when a first predetermined number of consecutive data packets are not received from the sensor/sensor electronics, and automatically issue a second alert notification when a second predetermined number of consecutive data packets are not received by the sensor/sensor electronics. The receiver may also be configured to enable a user to disenable alert or alarm notifications that are triggered based on detected events.
