Abstract
Some embodiments provide a system for synchronizing and configuring monitoring devices. In some embodiments, a patient monitoring device settings module is configured to automatically provide configuration settings to a plurality of patient monitoring devices. A monitoring device data module is configured to receive measurement data from at least one of the patient monitoring devices. An electronic medical records system interface is configured to provide patient data at least partially derived from the received measurement data to an electronic medical records system. A patient records interface is configured to provide patient data to at least one of the patient monitoring devices.

2. A fluid sampling and analysis system that determines the concentration of an analyte in undiluted bodily fluid, the system comprising:
-
a fluid handling network that maintains fluid communication with a bodily fluid of a patient and draws bodily fluid at intervals into the fluid handling network when the fluid sampling and analysis system is in operation, the fluid handling network comprising; a first fluid passageway connectable to a source of bodily fluid; a fluid junction fluidically connected to the first fluid passageway; a second fluid passageway comprising a loop of tubing fluidically connected to the fluid junction; a bodily fluid sensor connected to the second fluid passageway, wherein the bodily fluid sensor detects the presence of bodily fluid at a sensor position within the second fluid passageway, wherein the loop of tubing is sized to permit undiluted bodily fluid to be present at the fluid junction when the bodily fluid sensor detects fluid comprising at least some bodily fluid at the sensor position; and a third fluid passageway fluidically connected to the fluid junction; a processor in communication with or incorporated into the fluid sampling and analysis system; stored program instructions stored in a memory device and executable by the processor to; detect that undiluted bodily fluid is present at the fluid junction; and subsequently, direct undiluted bodily fluid through the third fluid passageway towards a sample cell; and a bodily fluid analyzer that determines the concentration of an analyte in a sample of bodily fluid after at least a portion of the sample arrives at the sample cell. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method of determining a concentration of an analyte in undiluted bodily fluid, the method comprising:
-
drawing a sample of bodily fluid from a fluid source into a fluid handling network, wherein the fluid handling system comprises fluid passageways and a bodily fluid sensor that senses a property of the bodily fluid; directing the sample of bodily fluid past a fluid junction through a first fluid passageway comprising a sensor position of the bodily fluid sensor and a loop of tubing located in the first fluid passageway between the sensor position and the fluid junction, wherein the loop of tubing is sized to permit undiluted bodily fluid to be present at the fluid junction when the bodily fluid sensor detects a mixture of saline and bodily fluid at the sensor position; detecting that undiluted bodily fluid is present at the fluid junction; after detecting that undiluted bodily fluid is present at the fluid junction, directing undiluted bodily fluid through a second fluid passageway towards a sample cell of a bodily fluid analyzer; and determining a concentration of an analyte in a sample of bodily fluid after at least a portion of the sample arrives at the sample cell. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
