Analyte monitoring device and methods of use
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- assembling a plurality of data words to form a data message for transmission, each of the data words comprising a set of bits, wherein for at least two of the data words, the set of bits includes data bits and error correction bits, at least a portion of one of the plurality of data words derived from an analyte level; and
transmitting the data message such that the set of bits comprising one of the plurality of data words are transmitted in an interleaving sequence;
wherein the interleaving sequence of data transmission includes bit-by-bit transmission to transmit a first bit in each of the set of bits of each of the data words of the data message followed by transmitting a second bit in each of the set of bits of each of the data words of the data message until the assembled plurality of data words are transmitted.

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.
