Abstract
A system and method of processing information regarding medical devices in wireless communication with each other is provided in which a controller device has a first wireless communication link with a first medical device, such as an analyte sensor, and a second wireless communication link with a second medical device, such as a delivery device. A processor in the controller device monitors the status of the first and second wireless links and upon noting a degradation of either one, compares the first wireless link status with the second wireless link status and provides guidance for resolving a communication problem based on the comparison. The latency of the communicating medical devices is considered.

22. A communication link analysis system for use with a plurality of medical devices in wireless communication with each other, the system comprising:
-
a medical sensor device having a sensor device wireless communication unit; a medical delivery device having a pump device wireless communication unit; a display device configured to visually display information to a user; a controller device having a processor, a first wireless communication unit, and a second wireless communication unit, wherein the processor is programmed to establish a first communication link between the first wireless communication unit and the sensor device wireless communication unit, and the processor is programmed to establish a second communication link between the second wireless communication unit and the delivery device wireless communication unit; wherein the processor is further programmed to monitor each of the first and second communication links for status and for the existence of degradation, and if degradation is detected in a wireless communication link, the processor is further programmed to compare the first wireless link status with the second wireless link status to determine the cause of the detected degradation; and wherein the processor is further programmed to control the display to visually provide a user with guidance on how to resolve the degradation. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
