Abstract

Method and system for providing a fault tolerant data receiver unit configured with a partitioned or separate processing units, each configured to perform a predetermined and/or specific processing associated with the one or more substantially non-overlapping functions of the data monitoring and management system is provided.

Claims

1-29. -29. (canceled)

30. A data receiver unit, comprising:

a first processing unit configured to perform a first predetermined processing routine, and a second processing unit configured to perform a second predetermined processing routine, wherein the first and second predetermined processing routines are non-overlapping; and

wherein the data receiver unit is configured to receive one or more analyte related signals during a data reception cycle; and

wherein, prior to the start of the data reception cycle, one of the first or the second processing units is configured to enter an inactive mode, wherein the inactive mode includes suspending all activity of one of the first or second processing units.

31. The data receiver unit of claim 30, wherein the data receiver unit is further configured to provide medication information based on the received one or more analyte related signals for administration to a subject.

32. The data receiver unit of claim 31, wherein the medication information includes an insulin amount.

33. The data receiver unit of claim 30, further comprising a wireless communication module configured to receive data corresponding to one or more analyte related signals.

34. The data receiver unit of claim 30, further comprising a sample analysis module, wherein the sample analysis module is configured to receive one or more data associated with a respective one or more analyte samples for processing.

35. The data receiver unit of claim 34, wherein the one or more analyte samples are received from a respective one or more glucose test strips.

36. The data receiver unit of claim 34, wherein the sample analysis module includes a sample analysis module processing unit configured to process the one or more data associated with the respective one or more analyte samples.

37. The data receiver unit of claim 30, further comprising a user interface module, wherein the user interface module includes an output unit configured to output one or more signals associated with a physiological condition of a patient.

38. The data receiver unit of claim 37, wherein the output unit is configured to display one or more of a visual, auditory or vibratory output associated with the physiological condition of the patient.

39. The data receiver unit of claim 38, wherein the visual output includes one or more of a directional arrow indicator, a color indicator, or a monitored condition level indicator.

40. An analyte data receiver for receiving one or more analyte related signals during a data reception cycle, the analyte data receiver comprising:

one or more processing units; and

a memory unit coupled to the one or more processing units, the memory unit being configured to store one or more programming instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processing units to generate a quiet host signal prior to a data reception period and, in response to the generated quiet host signal, complete a current processing cycle, if any, and enter an inactive mode during the data reception period.

41. The analyte data receiver of claim 40, wherein the programming instructions further cause the one or more processing units to provide medication information based on the received one or more analyte related signals for administration to a subject.

42. The analyte data receiver of claim 41, wherein the medication information includes an insulin amount.

43. The analyte data receiver of claim 40, further comprising a wireless communication module configured to receive data corresponding to the one or more analyte related signals.

44. The analyte data receiver of claim 40, further comprising a sample analysis module, wherein the sample analysis module is configured to receive one or more data associated with a respective one or more analyte samples for processing.

45. The analyte data receiver of claim 44, wherein the one or more analyte samples are received from a respective one or more glucose test strips.

46. The analyte data receiver of claim 44, wherein the sample analysis module includes a sample analysis module processing unit configured to process the one or more data associated with the respective one or more analyte samples.

47. The analyte data receiver of claim 40, further comprising a user interface module, wherein the user interface module includes an output unit configured to output one or more signals associated with a physiological condition of a patient.

48. The analyte data receiver of claim 47, wherein the output unit is configured to display one or more of a visual, auditory or vibratory output associated with the physiological condition of the patient.

49. The analyte data receiver of claim 48, wherein the visual output includes one or more of a directional arrow indicator, a color indicator, or a monitored condition level indicator.
