Setup synchronization apparatus and methods for end user medical devices
First Claim
1. An end user medical device comprising:
- a controller and a memory operative to store instructions executable on the controller, the controller and memory operative to;
perform an activation function to put the end user medical device in an advertising mode for requesting synchronization,establish a communications connection with a setup synchronization apparatus,receive synchronization data from the setup synchronization apparatus once a communication connection has been established,synchronize the end user medical device in accordance with received synchronization data, anddetermine and store medical data of a user;
a wireless transceiver for transmitting a synchronization request and for receiving synchronization data;
a manually-operated actuator to cause the controller to perform the activation function;
a real-time clock, the real-time clock not running prior to the advertising mode for requesting synchronization; and
a battery to power the controller, wireless transceiver, and real-time clock once running.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention enable setup synchronization of an end user medical device such as a blood glucose meter. Some embodiments may include a controller including a memory; a transceiver operatively coupled to the controller; and a host computer interface operative to couple the controller to a host computer, wherein the memory is operative to store instructions executable on the controller. The instructions are adapted to cause the controller to scan for an advertising medical device using the transceiver, establish a communications connection with a medical device advertising for synchronization, and transmit synchronization data to a medical device once a communication connection has been estabilshed. Numerous other aspects are disclosed.
