Analyte monitoring device and methods of use
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a device including a housing, a glucose monitor, and a processor operatively coupled to the glucose monitor and disposed in the housing, the processor configured to generate a reading associated with a glucose concentration based on a signal received from a sensor control unit; and
a drug administration system configured to receive the generated reading from the processor and to execute a drug administration protocol;
wherein the device enters a sleep mode if the glucose monitor has not been activated for a predetermined period of time; and
wherein during the sleep mode, the device is configured to receive information associated with the generated reading but not output the information on a display.

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.
