Embodiment Construction

[0017] According to a feature of the invention, a software method of the data collection computer system monitors at least one serial port for the presence of a blood glucose meter. When an attached blood glucose meter is detected, the software downloads data from the meter, prints the data and a predefined report, and waits for the attached meter to be powered off or removed from the attached cable. This last step is important, otherwise the same gauge will be detected again and dumped and printed again. All this is done automatically without pressing any buttons on the data collection device. This approach represents a new level of user-friendliness.

[0018] Referring now to the drawings, there is illustrated in Figures 1A and 1B an exemplary computer system, generally indicated by the reference numeral 100, arranged in accordance with the principles of the present invention. The data collection computer system 100 includes an enclosure generally indicated by reference nu...

Abstract

A method and apparatus are provided for implementing data management with a data collection computer system to aid analysis and treatment. A serial port is monitored to detect the connection of a meter. When a meter connection is identified, patient data is automatically downloaded from the meter to the data collection computer system. Then the patient data or one or more selected reports generated from the patient data are printed. The patient data is downloaded from the meter and printed, with no user intervention required. Reports to be generated and printed are selected in a setup mode and stored. After the patient data is downloaded from the meter, communication with the meter is continued until either the meter is turned off, the cable is disconnected, or the meter automatically shuts itself off after a specific amount of inactivity.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to biosensors, and more particularly to methods and apparatus for automatic detection of meter connection and automatic transfer of data, such as blood glucose meters. Background technique [0002] Quantitative determination of analytes in body fluids is of great importance in the diagnosis and management of certain physiological abnormalities. For example, lactate, cholesterol, and bilirubin should be monitored in some individuals. Specifically, determination of glucose in body fluids is very important for diabetics, who must frequently check glucose levels in body fluids as a means of adjusting their dietary glucose intake. While the remainder of this disclosure will be directed to the determination of glucose, it is understood that the processes and devices of the present invention may also be used with other diagnostic systems. [0003] Home self-monitoring of glucose by diabetics is becoming routine in mod...
