Analyte monitoring system having an alert
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An analyte monitoring system, comprising:
- an analyte sensor in fluid contact with interstitial fluid, the analyte sensor adapted to generate a signal associated with an analyte level;
a sensor electronics operatively coupled to the analyte sensor and adapted to generate a data packet, wherein the data packet corresponds to a current analyte value and a plurality of prior analyte values; and
a data receiver in signal communication with the sensor electronics and configured to receive the data packet from the sensor electronics, the data receiver further configured to automatically output a first alert notification when a first predetermined number of data packets is not received by the data receiver, and automatically output a second alert notification when a second predetermined number of data packets is not received by the data receiver.

Abstract
Described herein are analyte monitoring systems including a receiver or data processing component that is configured to automatically issue a first alert notification when a first predetermined number of consecutive data packets are not received from the sensor/sensor electronics, and automatically issue a second alert notification when a second predetermined number of consecutive data packets are not received by the sensor/sensor electronics. The receiver may also be configured to enable a user to disenable alert or alarm notifications that are triggered based on detected events.
