Analyte monitoring device and methods of use
First Claim
1. An analyte monitoring device, comprising:
- a housing;
an input device operatively coupled to the housing;
a data communication unit coupled to the housing and configured to receive signals associated with a monitored analyte level;
a processor coupled to the data communication unit and configured to process the received signals; and
a display unit coupled to the housing for displaying one or more indicators associated with the monitored analyte level;
wherein the display unit is configured to enter a sleep mode when the input device has not been activated for a predetermined period of time, wherein the display unit is deactivated and does not display the one or more indicators associated with the monitored analyte level while the display unit is in sleep mode, wherein the processor is configured to process the received signals associated with the monitored analyte level while the display unit is in sleep mode, wherein the display unit is configured to exit sleep mode when the input device is activated, and wherein a current monitored analyte level is displayed after the display unit exits the sleep mode.

Abstract
An analyte monitor includes a sensor, a sensor control unit, and a display unit. The sensor has, for example, a substrate, a recessed channel formed in the substrate, and conductive material disposed in the recessed channel to form a working electrode. The sensor control unit typically has a housing adapted for placement on skin and is adapted to receive a portion of an electrochemical sensor. The sensor control unit also includes two or more conductive contacts disposed on the housing and configured for coupling to two or more contact pads on the sensor. A transmitter is disposed in the housing and coupled to the plurality of conductive contacts for transmitting data obtained using the sensor. The display unit has a receiver for receiving data transmitted by the transmitter of the sensor control unit and a display coupled to the receiver for displaying an indication of a level of an analyte. The analyte monitor may also be part of a drug delivery system to alter the level of the analyte based on the data obtained using the sensor.
