Wireless analyte monitoring system
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring a concentration of an analyte in a fluid or tissue sample comprising:
- a sensor module adapted to be borne on a patient, the sensor module including a power supply adapted to provide a transmission power, a first transceiver adapted to transmit analyte-concentration information, and a memory; and
a remote monitoring device adapted to wirelessly communicate with the sensor module, the remote monitoring device including a second transceiver adapted to receive the analyte-concentration information transmitted by the sensor module and adapted to transmit a signal to the sensor module confirming that the analyte-concentration information was received,wherein the information is stored in the memory until the signal is received by the sensor module.

Abstract
A system for monitoring a concentration of an analyte in a fluid or tissue sample. The system comprises a sensor module adapted to be borne on a patient. The sensor module includes a power supply adapted to provide a transmission power, a first transceiver adapted to transmit analyte-concentration information, and a memory. The system further comprises a remote monitoring device adapted to wirelessly communicate with the sensor module. The remote monitoring device includes a second transceiver adapted to receive the analyte-concentration information transmitted by the sensor module and adapted to transmit a signal to the sensor module confirming that the analyte-concentration information was received. The information is stored in the memory until the signal is received by the sensor module.
