Patent ID: 8808182

Claim:
A method for evaluating clinical acceptability of at least one of reference and sensor glucose data, the method comprising: receiving sensor data from a continuous glucose sensor during a time period of continuous glucose sensing of a host, including one or more sensor data points; receiving reference data from a reference glucose monitor during the time period of continuous glucose sensing of the host, including one or more reference data points; and using a processor module to determine, during the time period of continuous glucose sensing of the host, the clinical acceptability of at least one of: (i) said reference data using substantially time corresponding sensor data, wherein said reference data is evaluated for deviation from its substantially time corresponding sensor data in units of blood glucose concentration and clinical risk associated with that deviation based on a user's blood glucose concentration as indicated by at least one of said reference data and said sensor data; and (ii) said sensor data using substantially time corresponding reference data, wherein said sensor data is evaluated for deviation from its substantially time corresponding reference data in units of blood glucose concentration and clinical risk associated with that deviation based on a user's blood glucose concentration as indicated by at least one of said sensor data and said time reference data.
