Analyte Monitoring Device and Methods of Use
First Claim
1. A device, comprising:
- a housing;
a glucose test strip port coupled to the housing and configured to receive a test strip having a fluid sample thereon;
a processor operatively coupled to the housing and configured to determine a glucose level information from the fluid sample on the test strip; and
a communication component operatively coupled to the processor and configured to receive a plurality of time spaced analyte related signals from a remote location;
wherein the processor is configured to generate output data based on the determined glucose level from the fluid sample, the received plurality of time spaced analyte related signals or both.

Abstract
An analyte monitor includes a sensor, a sensor control unit, and a display unit. The sensor has, for example, a substrate, a recessed channel formed in the substrate, and conductive material disposed in the recessed channel to form a working electrode. The sensor control unit typically has a housing adapted for placement on skin and is adapted to receive a portion of an electrochemical sensor. The sensor control unit also includes two or more conductive contacts disposed on the housing and configured for coupling to two or more contact pads on the sensor. A transmitter is disposed in the housing and coupled to the plurality of conductive contacts for transmitting data obtained using the sensor. The display unit has a receiver for receiving data transmitted by the transmitter of the sensor control unit and a display coupled to the receiver for displaying an indication of a level of an analyte. The analyte monitor may also be part of a drug delivery system to alter the level of the analyte based on the data obtained using the sensor.
