摘要:
An instrument for determining a characteristic of a biological fluid or a control includes a radiation-reflective surface, a first source for irradiating the surface, and a first detector for detecting radiation reflected from the surface. A cuvette for use with the instrument holds a sample of the biological fluid or control the characteristic of which is to be determined. The cuvette has two opposed walls substantially transparent to the source radiation and reflected radiation. The first source and first detector are disposed adjacent a first one of said two opposed walls and the radiation reflective surface is disposed adjacent a second of said two opposed walls.

A method is provided for managing insulin dosage data collected over a complete day and a partial day. The method includes providing, by an insulin pump, a plurality of insulin dosages over a complete day and a partial day and recording the insulin dosages. The method also includes recognizing a completion of the complete day, recording an end-of-day marker, and associating the end-of-day marker to the dosages delivered during the complete day. Moreover, the method includes identifying complete day dosage data and partial day dosage data. Additionally, the method includes performing a calculation of insulin dosage statistics and/or displaying and distinguishing between the complete day dosage data and the partial day dosage data. The calculation includes the complete day dosage data and excludes the partial day dosage data.
摘要:
A method of facilitating communication between a resource and a computer is described. The computer employs a software application that allows the computer to communicate with the resource. The resource may comprise a medical device such as a blood glucose meter or an insulin pump. In order to facilitate communication between the computer and the resource, the software constructs a communication protocol particular to the type of resource connected to the computer. The stack comprising the communication protocol allows the computer to communicate with the resource. Once the resource and computer cease communication, the stack may be removed from the memory of the computer.

In combination, an instrument for determining a characteristic of a biological fluid or a control, and a cuvette for holding a sample of the biological fluid or control, the characteristic of which is to be determined. The instrument comprises a radiation-reflective surface, a first source for irradiating the surface, and a first detector for detecting radiation reflected from the surface. The cuvette has two opposed walls substantially transparent to the source radiation and reflected radiation. The first source and first detector are disposed adjacent a first one of the two opposed walls. The radiation reflective surface is disposed adjacent a second of the two opposed walls. A second source is provided for irradiating the surface. The first detector detects radiation from the second source reflected from the surface. The second source is positioned to transmit radiation through the two opposed walls for reflection by the surface and transmission back through the two opposed walls to the first detector to indicate whether a sample has reached a first point in the cuvette.

A diabetes management system is provided that supports connectivity of applications residing on a medical device. The diabetes management system includes a medical device that performs a diabetes care function in relation to a patient and a diabetes care management device in data communication with the medical device. The diabetes care management device is comprised generally of a connection management module and at least one application separate from the connection management module. The connection management module is configured to receive an associate request from the medical device and operable to establish a data connection with the medical device in accordance with IEEE standard 11073, such that the applications interacts with the connection management module to communicate via the data connection with the medical device.
