INTEGRATED DELIVERY DEVICE FOR CONTINUOUS GLUCOSE SENSOR
First Claim
1. An integrated diabetes management system for selectively switching between fully-automated and semi-automated modes, the system comprising:
- a glucose sensor, wherein the glucose sensor is configured to substantially continuously measure glucose concentration in a host for a period exceeding one hour, and to output a data stream, including one or more sensor data points; and
a processor module operably connected to the glucose sensor, wherein the processor module is configured to receive the data stream, to calculate a therapy comprising instructions for administration of a medicament, and to send the instructions to a medicament delivery device, wherein the processor module is configured to operate the integrated system in a fully-automated mode unless a semi-automated mode is triggered, wherein the fully automated mode does not require user interaction to send instructions to the medicament delivery device, wherein in the semi-automated mode, the processor module is configured to prompt the user for input before sending instructions to the medicament delivery device, and wherein the semi-automated mode is automatically triggered responsive to a predetermined condition.

Abstract
Systems and methods for integrating a continuous glucose sensor, including a receiver, a medicament delivery device, and optionally a single point glucose monitor are provided. Manual integrations provide for a physical association between the devices wherein a user (for example, patient or doctor) manually selects the amount, type, and/or time of delivery. Semi-automated integration of the devices includes integrations wherein an operable connection between the integrated components aids the user (for example, patient or doctor) in selecting, inputting, calculating, or validating the amount, type, or time of medicament delivery of glucose values, for example, by transmitting data to another component and thereby reducing the amount of user input required. Automated integration between the devices includes integrations wherein an operable connection between the integrated components provides for full control of the system without required user interaction.

8. A method for selectively switching between semi-automated and fully-automated modes of an integrated diabetes management system, the method comprising:
-
generating a data stream from a substantially continuous glucose sensor, the data stream including one or more sensor data points; receiving the data stream, by a processor module; calculating a therapy, by the processor module, wherein the therapy comprises instructions for administration of a medicament; switching the integrated system from a fully-automated mode to a semi-automated mode responsive to a predetermined condition being met; and sending the instructions for administration of a medicament to a medicament delivery device, wherein the fully automated mode does not require user interaction to send the instructions to the medicament delivery device, and wherein the semi-automated mode comprises prompting the user for input before sending the instructions to the medicament delivery device. - View Dependent Claims (3, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An integrated diabetes management system comprising a computer readable medium stored in memory that is configured to cause a processor to receive a data stream from a substantially continuous glucose sensor, the data stream including one or more sensor data points, to calculate a therapy comprising instructions for administration of a medicament, and to automatically send the instructions to a medicament delivery device in a fully-automated mode unless a semi-automated mode is triggered, wherein the fully automated mode does not require user interaction to send instructions to the medicament delivery device, wherein in the semi-automated mode, a user is prompted for input before sending instructions to the medicament delivery device, and wherein the semi-automated mode is triggered responsive to a predetermined condition.
