Abstract

The present disclosure includes methods, devices and systems for establishing a connection between a medical device and a remote computing device, receiving an upgrade command at the medical device, storing a current version of persistent data and a current version of executable code in a first storage area of the medical device, transmitting at least the current version of the persistent data to the remote computing device, receiving a second format of the current version of the persistent data and an upgraded version of executable code at the medical device, storing the second format of the current version of the persistent data and the upgraded version of the executable code in a second storage area of the medical device, and executing the upgraded version of the executable code with the second format of the current version of the persistent data.

Claims

1. (canceled)

2. A method for configuring alert settings of a glucose monitoring system, comprising:

providing a receiver module having a set of configurable alert settings, wherein each of the set of configurable alert settings is initially set to a first, default setting configuration;

coupling the receiver module to a secondary display device having a user interface capable of receiving user input;

receiving user input from the secondary display device indicative of one or more alert setting modifications;

modifying one or more of the set of alert settings in accordance with the user input into a second configuration that is different than the first, default setting configuration; and

automatically resetting the set of configurable alert settings to the first, default setting configuration upon a detection of a predetermined event, wherein the predetermined event comprises a data corruption error.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the set of configurable alert settings comprises one or more settings selected from a group consisting of:

a hypoglycemic setting, a hyperglycemic setting, a rate-of-change setting and a calibration setting.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the first, default setting configuration comprises a setting indicative of a hypoglycemic event threshold and a setting indicative of a hyperglycemic event threshold, the method further comprising activating an alarm of the receiving module if one of the event thresholds is exceeded.
