Patent ID: 8915850

Claim:
An apparatus, comprising: a data receiver configured to receive data relating to analyte levels from a transcutaneous analyte sensor; an analyte sensor interface configured to receive an in vitro analyte sensor, wherein the in vitro analyte sensor generates an analyte signal from a fluid sample; a memory configured to store a universal calibration parameter associated with all in vitro analyte sensors that are no-coding in vitro analyte sensors; and a processor operatively coupled to the data receiver and the memory, the processor configured to validate the data relating to the analyte levels from the transcutaneous analyte sensor based at least in part on the analyte signal generated by the in vitro analyte sensor, to recognize the in vitro analyte sensor without a user inputting information when the in vitro analyte sensor is received in the analyte sensor interface and is a no-coding in vitro analyte sensor, and to retrieve the universal calibration parameter stored in the memory when the recognized in vitro analyte sensor is the no-coding in vitro analyte sensor.
