Integrated delivery device for continuous glucose sensor
First Claim
1. An integrated diabetes management system for selectively switching between automated and fail-safe modes, the system comprising:
- a glucose sensor, wherein the glucose sensor is configured to substantially continuously measure glucose concentration in a host for a period exceeding one hour, and to output a data stream, including one or more sensor data points; and
a processor module operably connected to the glucose sensor, wherein the processor module is configured to receive the data stream, to calculate a therapy comprising instructions for administration of a medicament, and to send the instructions to a medicament delivery device, wherein the processor module is configured to operate the integrated system in an automated mode unless a fail-safe mode is triggered, wherein the automated mode does not require user interaction to send the instructions to the medicament delivery device, wherein in the fail-safe mode, the processor module is configured to prompt the host for input before sending the instructions to the medicament delivery device, and wherein the fail-safe mode is automatically triggered responsive to a predetermined fail-safe condition.

Abstract
Systems and methods for integrating a continuous glucose sensor, including a receiver, a medicament delivery device, and optionally a single point glucose monitor are provided. Manual integrations provide for a physical association between the devices wherein a user (for example, patient or doctor) manually selects the amount, type, and/or time of delivery. Semi-automated integration of the devices includes integrations wherein an operable connection between the integrated components aids the user (for example, patient or doctor) in selecting, inputting, calculating, or validating the amount, type, or time of medicament delivery of glucose values, for example, by transmitting data to another component and thereby reducing the amount of user input required. Automated integration between the devices includes integrations wherein an operable connection between the integrated components provides for full control of the system without required user interaction.

8. A method for selectively switching between fail-safe and automated modes of an integrated diabetes management system, the method comprising:
-
generating a data stream from a substantially continuous glucose sensor, the data stream including one or more sensor data points; receiving the data stream, by a processor module; calculating a therapy, by the processor module, wherein the therapy comprises instructions for administration of a medicament; switching the integrated system from an automated mode to a fail-safe mode responsive to a predetermined fail-safe condition being met; and sending the instructions for administration of a medicament to a medicament delivery device, wherein the automated mode does not require user interaction to send the instructions to the medicament delivery device, and wherein the fail-safe mode comprises prompting the host for input before sending the instructions to the medicament delivery device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An integrated diabetes management system comprising a computer readable medium stored in memory that is configured to cause a processor to receive a data stream from a substantially continuous glucose sensor, the data stream including one or more sensor data points, to calculate a therapy comprising instructions for administration of a medicament, and to automatically send the instructions to a medicament delivery device in an automated mode unless a fail-safe mode is triggered, wherein the automated mode does not require user interaction to send instructions to the medicament delivery device, wherein in the fail-safe mode, a user is prompted for input before sending instructions to the medicament delivery device, and wherein the fail-safe mode is triggered responsive to a predetermined fail-safe condition.
