TELEMETERED CHARACTERISTIC MONITOR SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A telemetered characteristic monitor system for monitoring a characteristic of a user, the system comprising:
- a remotely located data receiving device that is worn on a body of the user and is concealable within clothing;
a sensor that directly contacts one or more of the user'"'"'s bodily fluids and produces a signal indicative of the user'"'"'s glucose level in said one or more bodily fluids; and
a transmitter device including;
a housing;
a sensor connector that is coupled to the housing and is connectable to the sensor to receive signals from the sensor;
a processor within the housing and coupled to the sensor connector, wherein the processor receives signals from the sensor and processes the received signals for delivery to the remotely located data receiving device;
a transmitter coupled to the processor for wirelessly transmitting the processed signals to the remotely located data receiving device; and
an input device configured to turn the transmitter device on or off.

Abstract
A telemetered characteristic monitor system includes a remotely located data receiving device, a sensor for producing signal indicative of a characteristic of a user, and a transmitter device. The transmitter device includes a housing, a sensor connector, a processor, and a transmitter. The transmitter receives the signals from the sensor and wirelessly transmits the processed signals to the remotely located data receiving device. The processor coupled to the sensor processes the signals from the sensor for transmission to the remotely located data receiving device. The data receiving device may be a characteristic monitor, a data receiver that provides data to another device, an RF programmer for a medical device, a medication delivery device (such as an infusion pump), or the like.
