1. An analyte monitoring system, comprising:
- a remote device;
an analyte sensor for transcutaneous positioning and in fluid contact with bodily fluid under a skin surface to monitor an analyte level in the bodily fluid; and
sensor electronics operatively coupled to the analyte sensor and configured for data communication with the remote device when the remote device is positioned within a predetermined distance from the sensor electronics, the sensor electronics further configured to transition a status identifier from a first state to a second state when the sensor electronics determines that the analyte sensor is initialized, and to communicate the status identifier to the remote device;
wherein the analyte sensor requires no user calibration when in fluid contact with the bodily fluid under the skin surface.

19. An analyte monitoring system, comprising:
-
a remote device; an analyte sensor for transcutaneous positioning and in fluid contact with bodily fluid under a skin surface to monitor an analyte level in the bodily fluid; and sensor electronics operatively coupled to the analyte sensor and configured for data communication with the remote device when the remote device is positioned within a predetermined distance from the sensor electronics, the sensor electronics further configured to transition a status identifier from a first state to a second state when the sensor electronics determines that the analyte sensor is initialized, and to communicate the status identifier to the remote device; wherein the sensor electronics is configured to determine that the analyte sensor is initialized based on one or more signals generated by the transcutaneously positioned analyte sensor. - View Dependent Claims (20)
