Abstract:
1. An infusion device for infusing a fluid into a body of a user, wherein the infusion device is capable of receiving a communication from a sensing device adapted for determining a concentration of a first analyte in the user, and is capable of receiving a communication from an external hand-held characteristic determining device adapted for determining a concentration of a second analyte in the user, the infusion device comprising: a housing adapted to be carried by a user; a drive mechanism contained in the housing and operatively coupled with a reservoir containing a fluid for infusing the fluid into the body of the user; a receiver contained in the housing for receiving the communication from the sensing device and the communication from the external hand-held characteristic determining device, the communication from the sensing device including sensor values indicative of the determined concentration of the first analyte in the user, and the communication from the external hand-held characteristic determining device including the determined concentration of the second analyte in the user; a processor contained in the housing and coupled to the receiver for processing the sensor values received from the sensing device and the determined concentration of the second analyte in the user received from the external hand-held characteristic determining device, and for controlling the infusion device; and an indicator coupled to the processor to indicate the received sensor values and the received concentration of the second analyte in the user.
