Device for simulating analysis of blood glucose levels

A simulated medical device for providing a realistic training environment for health care or patient care providers, the device comprising:

• a visual display;
• a microprocessor connected to the visual display;
• a memory connected to the microprocessor and storing non-transitory computer readable program code for operation of the microprocessor and a plurality of simulated medical values;
• a first actuator connected between a power supply and the microprocessor, wherein in response to actuation of the first actuator the microprocessor receives power from the power supply;
• a body housing the visual display, the microprocessor, the memory, and the first actuator, the body further including:
• a slot in the body, a light supported by the body, and a strip insertion sensor configured to provide to the microprocessor an indication of the presence of a test strip in the slot;
• and
• a second actuator connected between the power supply and the light, wherein the light illuminates in response to actuation of the second actuator, wherein:
• the microprocessor, running under the control of the non-transitory computer readable program code, performs the following steps:
• in response to receiving power from the power supply, displays on the visual display a third actuator;
• in response to actuation of the third actuator, displays a prompt on the visual display;
• in response to the strip insertion sensor sensing at least a portion of the test strip internally received in the slot, initiates a pre-set timer countdown;
• and
• in response to the pre-set timer countdown completion, displays on the visual display a first simulated medical value of the plurality of simulated medical values.
