1. An analyte monitoring device, comprising:
- a data storage unit; and
one or more processors operatively coupled to the data storage unit and configured to retrieve instructions stored in the data storage unit to establish a communication path with a remote device when the remote device is placed within a predetermined distance from the analyte monitoring device, to determine when a transcutaneously positioned analyte sensor is initialized, to increment a count based on the determination, and to associate the incremented count with the transcutaneously positioned analyte sensor; and
a communication module operatively coupled to the one or more processors and configured to transmit the incremented count to the remote device when the remote device is placed within the predetermined distance, wherein the identity of a new transcutaneously positioned analyte sensor is based on the incremented count.

4. A control device for communicating with an analyte monitoring unit, comprising:
-
a data communication section configured to establish a communication range with the analyte monitoring unit when the control device is placed within a predetermined distance from the analyte monitoring unit, the data communication section further configured to receive data, including a sensor information associated with a transcutaneously positioned analyte sensor, when the control device is placed within the established communication range; and a processing unit coupled to the data communication section to process the received data, the processing unit further configured to compare the sensor information in the received data with a stored sensor information to verify the identity of the transcutaneously positioned analyte sensor, and when it is determined that the received sensor information is different than the stored sensor information, the processing unit is configured to determine the identity of the transcutaneously positioned analyte sensor, and to generate one or more signals based at least in part on processing the received data. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A method, comprising:
-
establishing data communication between an analyte monitoring device and a remote device when the remote device is positioned within a predetermined distance from the analyte monitoring device; communicating a count associated with a transcutaneously positioned analyte sensor to the remote device, wherein the identity of the transcutaneously positioned analyte sensor is verified based at least in part on the count; detecting replacement of the transcutaneously positioned analyte sensor; updating the count based on the detected replacement and communicating data from the analyte sensor to the remote device; and generating one or more signals based on the data from the analyte sensor. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
