Communication station and software for interfacing with an infusion pump, analyte monitor, analyte meter, or the like
First Claim
1. A method of monitoring at least a continuous glucose monitor and an insulin infusion pump used to treat a medical condition for a patient, the method comprising:
- generating a patient data file;
downloading data from at least the continuous glucose monitor and the insulin infusion pump used with the patient, wherein the data includes a plurality of blood glucose levels obtained over a time period;
recording the downloaded data in the patient data file;
integrating the data from at least the continuous glucose monitor and the insulin infusion pump to present contemporaneous information showing the relationship between at least the continuous glucose monitor and the insulin infusion pump;
presenting the integrated data in a user chosen report format; and
displaying a first plurality of the blood glucose levels from data obtained over a first defined time period and second plurality of the blood glucose levels from data obtained over a second defined time period on the same scale of a single one of the first and second defined time periods within the user chosen report format, with the first plurality of blood glucose levels from the first defined time period shown in an overlaid fashion relative to the second plurality of blood glucose levels from the second defined time period, and with the first and second plurality of blood glucose levels shown as extending over the single one of the defined time periods, the first and second time periods are fully separated in time.

Abstract
A communication station is for use with a medical device (such as an infusion pump) and a processing device (such as a computer). The communication station includes a housing, a medical device interface coupled to the housing, a processing device interface coupled to the housing and a processor coupled to the housing. The device interface interfaces with the medical device, and the processing device interface interfaces with the processing device. The processor provides a communication path between the medical device and the processing device such that programming and instructions may be communicated from the processing device to the medical device and data may be transferred from the medical device to the processing device. The communication station may be combined with a system that is capable of generating reports either locally or remotely. In addition, the medical device interface may be a cradle that is configurable to attach to different shaped medical devices.
