Abstract
Described herein are analyte monitoring systems including a receiver or data processing component that is configured to automatically issue a first alert notification when a first predetermined number of consecutive data packets are not received from the sensor/sensor electronics, and automatically issue a second alert notification when a second predetermined number of consecutive data packets are not received by the sensor/sensor electronics. The receiver may also be configured to enable a user to disenable alert or alarm notifications that are triggered based on detected events.
Claims20
An analyte monitoring system, comprising:
- sensor electronics operatively coupled to an analyte sensor in fluid contact with interstitial fluid and configured to generate a data packet including a current analyte value and a plurality of prior analyte values;
- and
- a data receiver in signal communication with the sensor electronics and configured to receive the data packet from the sensor electronics, the data receiver further configured to automatically output a first alert notification when a first predetermined number of data packets is not received by the data receiver, and automatically output a second alert notification when a second predetermined number of data packets is not received by the data receiver.
A method, comprising:
- outputting a first alert notification type when a first predetermined number of data packets is not received;
- and
- outputting a second alert notification type when a second predetermined number of data packets is not received, wherein the first alert notification type is output at a first predetermined output level and wherein the second alert notification type is output at a second predetermined output level.
A method, comprising:
- detecting an occurrence of a predetermined routine;
- outputting a first notification of an alarm condition at a first output level when a first number of data packets is not received;
- and
- outputting a second notification of the alarm condition at a second output level when termination of the predetermined routine is detected.
